which sound library

A win for Mr. Gardener!

I withdraw in shame of not thinking about that...

See the thing is this for me:

Garritan pianos: 40,000 MB

EW pianos: 60,000 Mb each

Pianoteq: 15 MB

:D How on earth can ANYONE compete with than? And with pianoteqs sound (although it's no longer unique with the sympathetique resonances etc)

I downloaded a demo version of Pianoteq and I must say I prefer it to Garritan and EW. Fast loading times + not much memory usage. A win win situation.

The nagging little is that I don't think it can blend well with EWQLSO:(

Problem is the reverb ;) Try adding a bit of reverb and it will blend lovely. (take it a bit to the back as well, not so much the tail of the reverb).

As for various parameters, over at the Pianoteq – True modelling of pianos and other keyboard or string instruments forums (find the right button), the members there have a lot of various presets for various "sounds" (much more than just a piano) ;)

Lol, you spelled the link incorrectly ;)

EDIT: I would also like to know how PianoTeq compares to 4front Truepianos (Truepianos - Overview). Sorry for being off topic, but 4front's piano is also very small (50mb), I was wondering which one is better since I plan on getting either one of them. ;)

I think that this is up to you to decide. It's a bit personal... I'm in favour of pianoteq, but this doesn't mean much, does it? Truepianos, also has a trial version (30 days I believe, but with no missing keys), and so feel free to try it out as well and see how it goes...

Ah. Right. Testing it as I speak. Are there any other instruments that uses the same kind of technology instead of 100% sampling? Are they any good?

For piano, I don't know any.

BUT there is

Synful

and

Wallander Instruments

Both completely AMAZING! (with tiny sizes and stuff, control that you've never seen in samples before in your life! :O) STUNNING STUFF!

I just downloaded a demo track from Synful.

All I can say is... wow. Just wow. AMAZING sound quality using only 120MB of my hard disk space. Do you use any Synful stuff?

Will download some Wallander samples later. :)
