Lots of users collect vst pianos, an innocent if expensive hobby. Virtual instruments are getting closer and closer to the sound of the real deal but the playing experience makes a huge difference for the player I pretty much agree with you, but for a couple of things. If you look at the range of available virtual pianos today, the choice is breathtaking, From the day that I once played a Steinway grand on a stage - just for a few minutes - I knew that there's nothing like playing a real, good grand piano in a room that is large enough to let it breathe. There are more acoustic piano sounds than there are electric piano sounds and most of them have their individual and good position in whatever style of music when combined well with the piece. I believe that the evergreen discussions about "the" best piano sound are fueled by the fact that there is none. I don't agree that sound doesn't make much of a difference. The most expensive are not necessarily the best, I found them to be very much a matter of taste. I agree that the keyboard action has an important part in how a piano feels to play, I can't enjoy playing one without a good keybed. For example, here's one comparing Nord piano sounds vs.
KEYSCAPE VS PIANOTEQ SOFTWARE
You can search on youtube for what are probably many videos comparing stage piano sounds with software VST's. See the chart near bottom of this page for the differences: The main thing missing from iOS Ravenscroft, for me, is the half-pedaling, sustain is only full-on or full-off. he rest is identical, the same samples are used as well as the same number of velocities and our advanced scripting that makes the Ravenscroft so playable." That should tell you something about difference in overall sound quality. Obsessing about finding best VST can get to be like audiophiles who agonize over their gear, listening for tiny differences (that may or may not be there) while missing out on the pleasure of hearing the music.įWIW, Ravenscroft has a decently regarded desktop version that has a few differences from the iOS version, but ".
The truth, in my opinion, is that most of the stuff out there (including my FP-10's built-in sounds) is good enough. But I think a lot of people get hung up on the VST's and waste a lot of time and mental effort on agonizing over which is "best".
KEYSCAPE VS PIANOTEQ PC
I have low end Roland FP-10 digital piano, and sometimes use Pianoteq VST and/or Garritan CFX Lite running on a PC for sounds both are significantly better than FP-10's built-in sounds. I don't have a high end keyboard, but I've noticed that picky people with high end digital pianos often resort to using software VST's. My impression, too, is that piano VST's on desktop are generally better than piano voices in even high end digital keyboards/stage pianos. Desktop piano software would probably yield the best results if you are seeking the best non acoustic piano sound.
