Quick Black Friday piano plugin question

[Stokely]

Hi,

 

I see that Native Instruments does indeed have the Definitive Piano Collection for 50% off. This consists of The Grandeur, The Gentleman and The Maverick pianos.

 

I was pretty set on this if it came on sale...however, I see that JRR shop has XLN stuff half off as well. I'd be interested in the Addictive Keys Studio Grand and the their upright.

 

NI price is $99; XLN would be $64 for a duo bundle.

 

If it matters, I have a 2012 macbook pro and would be using this in Logic.

 

Any pros and cons of the two choices would be welcome, or even a dark horse candidate! I see good reviews for both but am not willing to buy both....

Pianoworld Forums

 

These guys (some of them forum members here as well) talk acoustic piano sample libraries all day long.

 

Other ones to keep an eye out for sales:

Garritan CFX which had a software update recently

Modartt's Pianoteq with the Grotrian model

 

I'm sure there are going to be a lot of deals coming up.

Hi, I already had

 

I'm leaning a bit toward the NI pianos, but I'll be checking around in the next day or so. I expect (hope) that any of these will be a big improvement over the Logic pianos...

Iwish they let us have a Black Fridady topic for all deals

Those NI Pianos don't do much for me. I kind of like the Giant Upright, but the rest of it is pretty average.
