no one has a bigger selection than Nord, when it comes to their uprights (they just released a gorgeous one called the Baby Upright which I wish I could play- but no Nord presently). I'm just a fanatic for good piano plugins and sounds. The stuff from Komplete 11 (Grandeur, Giant, Gentleman, Maverick). Not very userfriendly.īumping this thread.

I had to learn how to sent sysex to my Yamaha with alternate tunings. I wish every digital piano had such an editor to adjust tunings a bit from equal temperament. Really clever dialog for handling tunings though. GUI seems to contain plenty things, but no way to really get to know it rather than just experimenting. I managed a little bit, but not quite how I wanted it.Īnd no documentation that I found, and talking to their support they were not interested in providing a preset that sort of could be used as a base for what I wanted to do. I fiddled quite a bit to simulate softer touch by filter driven by velocity, but that was not easy to understand how those parts really worked. The only issue was that no timbre change with velocity as default on the upright. Whenever I start talking about it, the communication very rapidly devolves into pure gushing. So unless you have shorter memory than a Goldfish.

I have owned audio Hi-Fi hardware that literally takes longer to start (due to delayed internal warm up procedure) than Win10 with SSD.Īn LED backlit monitor is also instantly at full brightness. Sample programs are so quick anyway - bar the odd (and truly exceptional) enormous piano mentioned in this thread by Peter.

Sample free synth programs like Pianoteq open instantly. Start up is as close to instant as makes no difference. However speed or reliability isn't a logical reason anymore. I can understand the desire to have physical controllers that are dedicated to one purpose, not programmed e.g with classic analog synths. Push power button, just sit and fool around a bit - in seconds you think about doing it. Starting up computers and loading plugins etc is a hinderance for the creative part. I turned most stuff to external gear, piano, synths, organ - since I like just pushing a button and sit and play for a while. You cannot choose U1 and a Grand at purchase, you only got some other choice. Even so Pianoteq being my top choice if piano is the main/only consideration.īest I heard are Pianoteq U1(I think it was called), an upright piano.īut don't fancy the price policy, so never got one. I can also recommend NI Komplete 11 (standard) which has a lot of decent sample pianos in the collection, amongst the goodies.

This piano is free if you have anything from Pianoteq:

If you want a small sweet piano sound, as opposed to big, tonally pure sound of the typical concert grand pianos you will find plenty of intimate character in the free collection's Pleyel and Errard vintage grands.Īlso when you wish to expand pianoteq the U4 upright is a nice generic upright option.

In that collection you will find the 'Keyboard Instrument Virtual Restoration' collection.Īlso you can download 'Bells and Carillons' You cannot hear them in the demo version but if you get any version of Pianoteq (not demo though) you can also download and use the 'free' historic collection of pianos. Pianoteq Stage (Concert D and the entirely fictional K2) in terms of performance and VFM is hard to touch. Any doubts of sonic character you can dramatically change the sound with your choice of VST reverb (if you bypass the good quality onboard reverb).
