Pianoteq piano samples6/18/2023 ![]() The piano is also one of the grandest of western musical instruments.The range of the whole orchestra is right there before you. "I talked myself out of Ivory for now because it is such a one trick pony"Īn acoustic piano is essentially a one trick pony in the broader sense,so it comes down to the software - the player - to bring the instrument to life. is it worth $35 - yeah, but if I were you and I already had NI Classic Pianos and already had Komplete 8, then I wouldn't waste any money on another piano until I've tried those out in some projects. very good implementation - but to me, it's still modelled. it's sort of a hybrid - it's got a small sample footprint and then they model that small sample. Those Classic Pianos from NI are much better than anything on GPO - if I were you I'd find a place to put them.Īs far as Pianissimo - I agree it sounds much better than anything Truepianos. it's almost a shame I have three NI piano's on dvd for 'free'. And hardly takes up any precious SSD space.! Interesting. It's not just "good for $35", it's just good. I would absolutely take Pianissimo over Truepianos. (I also rely on Acoustisamples Kawai EX Pro, which is just as lovely, but with a more "in your face" sound). For the cost, I wouldn't have believed it, but it is my "Go to" piano. To my ears, Pianissimo is just warm and lovely - sits beautifully in the mix or as a solo instrument. I've since removed Truepianos (full version) and all four of the Sampletekk pianos I'd been using. (BTW, the YouTube example they have is bathed in reverb - NOT the way it sounds with the default presets).įound it on sale for $34, so figured what the heck. I had been hearing good things about this one for awhile: Janet's use of Ivory Italian Grand is fantastic! but I have Kontakt and NI Classic Pianos and I'm happy with that.īut I still hate tascam for what they did with GS. although I know Ivory is absolutely EXCELLENT. and since I have Kontakt, I'm not locked into piano only like I would be with Ivory. ![]() So I decided on NI Classic Pianos and I have not been happier. that's when I decided to buy another piano library and when I asked my friend to make the wave files from my MIDI for me to help me decide (my friend that did this for me is in this thread, BTW - I just didn't want everyone to ask him to do the same for them by feeling pressured if I pointed him out!). So I decided to get Kontakt 4, I imported most of my GS3 libraries into kontakt very easily - but my beloved Gigapiano would not import correctly. but I've always had problems with GS 3's stability across several computers and I knew I would have even more problems once vista and win7 hit the field and I had to use one of those. then Tascam dumped Gigastudio immediately after releasing GS4 (luckily before I bought the upgrade!). I loved the sounds and articulations of it. I originally was VERY happy with Gigastudio 3 and the Gigapiano. and I know my way wasn't 100% foolproof, either, but I think it was a better way to decide than listening to demos on the mfg website.Īnd yes, even tho Ivory is probably the best piano out there (IMO only, of course), if you get it then you're ONLY getting a piano (well, several articulations, but nothing else). That's why I had my friend run MY MIDI from a project, put the wave files he sent me into that project and listened that way - I don't trust "demo" samples from the manufacturer's website because you don't know the context of their mix.
