I did just that and all worked fine. Took a minute to figure out how to install program and sounds on a partitioned drive, and took well over 8 hours to install Sampletank Max alone. All installed and authorized automatically without a hitch. Thanks for all responses!!

Need a littlie guidance. I got Sampletank CS (free version) to see how my system would run. Runs good through the computer's soundcard. I bought Sampletank 4 Max from IK's website, helluva deal at $45 for the whole shebang. I loaded Miraslov and it runs through Sampletank 4 but I haven't been able to authorize Sampletank 4 Max. Seems I'm going to have to do it offline as it doesn't see my internet connection. I feel like I'd be better off to uninstall everything that I've installed thus far and start over installing and authorizoing Sampletank 4 Max. I'm concerned that I'm getting things installed to Sampletank 4 and it's going to interfere with the Max version. Am I overthinking this, or should I just start over with a new install? I don't want to get GB's deep into this and then wish I'd done that. Appreciate any help. Also, FWIW, I'm going to have a blast playing with suite.

Thank you for the encouragement. Agreed it’s an opportunity, worst case I’m out $30. I keep thinking about an Apple laptop, maybe one of these days. We’ll see what happens with this experiment first. Thanks to all that responded.

I’d bet that Super Piano is what you’re looking for but Super Piano compared to a real piano? It’s not even close so don’t get your hopes up BUT at the time is was a game changer.

I had a patch called ‘Super Piano’, not sure if that’s the one but at the time it was responsive and sounded great.

Just saw this and thought others may be interested. IK Pro Sound Suite - Charity donation I'm interested but may be going down a rabbit hole. Would appreciate others thoughts. Other than my Kurz Forte, all me gear is old. Motif ES, Muse Receptor 2, etc. I never pursued soft instruments but this deal has my attention. $30 for 40 pieces of software. I know many of these are useless to me, but $30 is a low risk endeavor. My computer is old, 8 GB RAM, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz. Sampletank 4 is probably a big upgrade for me, so I'm intrigued by that alone. Am I asking for a painful experience trying to get this to run on my computer? Thanks in advance.

Retail sales begin April 1st.

I understood your intentions after reading the first few sentences. I know you meant no harm. You’ve explained and apologized. That’s good enough for me. Be at peace.

Working late a few nights, I recently plugged the phone into my Korg plugkey and fired up Spotify on my music room setup. I rarely listen leisurely on that setup (Event monitors with a sub). Wow, I was so accustomed to listening through earbuds or in the car, I forgot how great music sounds in a room, through nice speakers. REFRESHING! Back in the day, with my home stereo/big a$$ floor speakers, listening to music was something you did. Now, for most people, listening to music is something you do while doing something else. Yeah, I'm working while listening, but it's so much nicer hearing sound "in the room", enveloping the whole space.

@Docbop, that's funny, I was thinking the same thing. Hammer-on to play, both are impressive. Almost bought a Chapman stick but then woke-up and figured that energy would best be put into the keys.

OP here. What color dress do you see?? LOL. Talking about instrument tuning brings flashbacks to bands in my 20's, arguing with a guitarist about his instrument being out of tune. Disclaimer: I don't have perfect pitch, but have good relative pitch. I posted this because I hear the piano as sharp to the rest of the track. I noticed it on the intro the first time I played it. Listen to the first 20 seconds, and the piano (to me) is sharp to every other instrument. As the piece develops, I still hear the piano as sharp, but it is less noticeable as the full band plays. Although I didn't notice it during the guitar solo. 😁 I thought it possible that this was intended to make the piano sound brighter, or to stand out just a touch, from the rest of the band. Whether intentional or not, still fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

Recently heard this song and noticed the sharp piano after just a few notes. Is this intentional? (I have to assume it is.) Is this a thing?

Walmart sells various size boxes. Agree with others, get something close and cut down as needed to fit.

Great article here. Just popped up on my feed today. https://www.musicradar.com/news/keith-emerson-tribute-jimi-hendrix-keyboard

I’ve had a lot of success by finding YouTube videos with certain content providers that resonate with my skill level. Two that I enjoy and learn from are Jeff Schneider and Mangold. You may have to poke around but you will likely find useful, educational content. I agree that a teacher could help but also know there is a lot of free content to get you started. You can further patronize those that you find especially helpful.
