fisheye Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 On Ilio ( link ) they now have demos of the three pianos included in the new Ivory grand piano software. I find it a bit hard to judge whether this software will work on stage or is it more suitable for recording? There is B4, the Scarbee Rhodes and Wurlizter; great stuff, but I'm really missing some good piano software; most out there isn't suitable for live playing. Steinbergs The Grand still works best for me, though it is not really beautiful. Come'on, Yamaha's P250 with its little memory should be easily beatable with some pc power; why is the P series (IMO) still preferable on stage? Is Ivory gonn'a be the final answer to dedicated digital piano's or not? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbobus Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 My P120 will do perfectly for jazz, bigband and pop gigs, though I wouldn't play a classical piano concerto on it. The Ivory mp3s sounded to harsh for me, but they're mp3s. Notice this is still Mac only, a PC version is to be anounced. http://www.bobwijnen.nl Hipness is not a state of mind, it's a fact of life.

fisheye Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Well I can get away with my P80 for jazz gigs, but I'll always prefer a real piano. IF it is a good one, well regulated, tuned, correctly amplified and monitored if needed etc. And that's a big if. No software will create a real piano, but to do better than the P series should be possible, I think. There are so many behaviours of acoustic pianos not found in the digitals... BTW, on the Synthogy Ivory site they have some uncompressed versions of their demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke Smith. Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Is Ivory shipping yet? Current live rig: Roland RD700SX, Hammond XK-3 with Leslie System 21, and Muse Receptor. Also a Nord Stage 76 other times instead. And a Roland FP-7 for jazz gigs. HOME: Kawai MP8 + a bunch of VI's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
