Stokely Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi, was searching various forums for piano vst recommendations and came across this guy: http://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/64-Virtual-Instrument/1844-Eighty-Eight-Ensemble Low price, so I'm leaning toward trying it out regardless, but I have a couple questions. - Has anyone tried it and have an opinion on it? - My only software piano is currently the ones built into Logic; I'm not real fond of them, the best I can say is that they load quickly. So any thoughts on how this piano compares, or thoughts on the Logic pianos in general, are welcome (it's possible that I just haven't given them a good enough chance, or that my controller isn't matched up right. A baseline of Logic pianos good or bad might be helpful). - This appears to have iLok, and without getting into a war I'm not a big fan. It's not a dongle though. So, does that mean that it is limited to a certain number of installs? I'm looking to upgrade my older macbook pro at some point fairly soon. - Any other recommendations for affordable pianos? I don't work professionally, just doodle around on rock/pop/new agey stuff and can't justify a big expense like say for Keyscape. Not with my live rig needing some attention after my Kurzweil problems Thanks! I figured, just what the internet needs, another virtual piano thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokely Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Already intrigued by this, don't know much about it yet... http://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/26-percussion/g49-the-hammersmith/ And down the rabbit hole I go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 - Any other recommendations for affordable pianos? Black Friday is in 3 weeks. I would wait until then. Typically, Native Instruments has a 50% off sale. Their "Definitive Piano Collection" has 2 grand piano's and an upright. Not best in class by any means, but you asked for affordability and this is a lot of bang for the buck. DEFINITIVE PIANO COLLECTION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokely Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 oooh, thanks for that...completely forgot. I'll give them a listen. When I get to be best in class I'll demand my piano is best in class I'm 49 so there's a chance it may not happen! edit: I liked all three of the pianos from the definitive collection. They sound far better than the Logic ones, first impression at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
