zephonic Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Steinberg announced a new Halion piano by Sampletekk, which got me curious about their other offerings and turns out they have a ton. If memory serves, they also do the Nord libraries, right? Anybody here use one or more of their pianos? How would you rate them?

Doerfler Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I have purchased 2 upright offerings from them, Vertikal and Rain Piano Mark II when they were on sale, less than US $20 for both. I don't use them often, but they have a unique character for when I want that. More tools in the toolbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that, do we know if this is just a re-packaged offering from their Kontakt libraries, or is this a unique one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephonic Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Seems to me these two libraries are the same: https://www.sampletekk.com/grand-pianos?product_id=256&sort=p.price&order=DESC https://www.steinberg.net/vst-instruments/tbo-mkII/ But the Steinberg one is less than half the price. And I prefer the HalionSonic interface over Kontakt. I'm actually somewhat interested in White Grand, if it's the same one that is in the Nords.

Pianoman JC Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I have the white grand, black grand, the emperor and the old lady. I like all of them. I probably use the white grand the most. It’s bright but cuts through a mix nicely without sounding harsh. JC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From another thread... On 1/22/2024 at 3:10 PM, Mighty Motif Max said: ...The White Grand is a SampleTekk derivative. The Royal Grand 3D, however, has more of a mystery. Some of their older stuff like the Studio Grands are SampleTekk as well.
