I agree. My favorite for film scoring so far, but Ant. Petrof Dreamy is great as well.Interesting! So many varieties of course, really depends on what you're using it for and the sound you're after. I've had quite a few different samples over the years....Ivory, Pianoteq, Piano in Blue, Cinematic Studio piano, Cinesamples....but I still favour the Keyscape LA C7 for film scoring. You can hear everything in those samples.
I agree with the playability of the 8dio 1928 Steinway - it's a little touchy and hard to control but a great tone.Well - for classical, late-romantic and Jazz I stil prefer Embertone´s Walker 1955 and the EWQL Pianos Platinum while I have to say that the Maverick (for Jazz) and the Grandeur (for classical) are really quite strong IMO. For cinematic stuff I like the NI Giant, the Embertone 1955 and the Soundiron Drinking Piano - ah and the 8dio 1928, but my problem with that one is that I do think it isnt playable so well - the dynamic range seems hard to control ... but maybe that is just my own fault
The Keyscape sounds almost like there's a gate on the releases. I love it's tone, but the releases are so abrupt
Wonderful indeed, and amazing effects too.My go to piano is Wavesfactory’s Mercury.
In the original version of Keyscape, the C7's releases were, inexplicably, disabled. Which sounded very weird....
Thank you! That's much better. I still have Keyscape on my wishlist.In the original version of Keyscape, the C7's releases were, inexplicably, disabled. Which sounded very weird. With the first update and ever since however, Keyscape includes several parameters to set the length, volume and character of these releases. In its default setting, it still sounds a bit chopped off to my ears too (as Bill's video demonstrates) but it's very easy to adjust and give the piano a more natural release. https://users.telenet.be/re-peat/KeyscapePiano.mp3 (Here's what that sounds like).

Chas, in Keyscape, there are three parameters that control the release of the C7: on the Main tab, you have Rel Noise which, as the name says, controls the amount of release noise (triggered when lifting the fingers from the keys) — I never have that set higher than two o’clock or thereabouts, but that's a matter of personal preference of course —, and on the Tweak tab, you have Rel Transition and Rel Time. Both of these can be said fairly high. Even at their highest values, they still don't produce anything unnatural sounding.some settings that you like?
