What are some good libraries to get these sounds?
Hello
As I am awaiting for my new hammer action midi keyboard (Hammer 88 Pro), I started to search for a good piano vst.
I heard a lot of praise towards Keyscape but at the same time I saw some negatives about it.
So wanted to hear what would be your opinions?
Is it worth buying Keyscape? Or...
Hi everyone,
We’re extremely proud to announce the Missing Keys contest, a competition to score a short film using the 45-day free trial of the new Rhodes V8 and V8 Pro plugins. The winner will take ownership of a beautiful bespoke Rhodes MK8 piano, while 19 runners-up will receive full...
Keyscape is still one of my favorite pianos, you can check out me playing through it below. ILIO is also doing a giveaway for Keyscape and a Roland A-88 MKII, so you can hop in on that contest if you want the library.
* this question is precisely for who knows this sound and instrument https://www.roland.com/global/products/lx-17/
THe ROland LX 17 has some priceless sounds i would like to have in midi:
the maind piano patch
the guitars
the strings
some other "vintage" patches
Precisely I would like...

Ok so this is probably a dumb question, but are there any plugins that use piano to give reverb?
For example pianos have aliquot strings (extra unplucked/unstruck strings) that give it extra depth and color by vibrating alongside the other struck strings.
Also, as they have such a big body...
Oh boy, totally not opening the floodgates with this one.
So, since I managed to grab HOOPUS for Black Friday, I've been considering getting an alternative piano library which can play nicely with it. Currently, all I have is 8Dio's 1990 Studio Grand and, while it is pretty good, there's a...
Hey guys, I can't find any demos of the Imperfect Samples pianos which cover short note playing. Lots of demos on YouTube, but they're mostly pedal playing (same with imperfectsamples.com).
Does somebody own one of those instruments (especially interested in the Fazioli) who could demonstrate a...
Anyone have a recommendation for a piano library with fx using a superball and/or soft mallets for a sort of low rumbling? Not necessarily looking for prepared piano with nails or clothespins, and more slow scrapes and fx. Something along the lines of what’s performed here in this video:
I have done some minor sampling earlier using Logic's built-in Autosampler to make soft-synths less CPU intensive for live use, that are mostly basic synth samples that needs no mapping editing whatsoever. I'm now trying to autosample my digital piano (disregarding sympathetic resonance, release...

Hi :)
I'm relatively new to this, but wondering how long it takes (or it should take) to arrange a song for piano. I'm trying the one below, but it's taking me ages.
I got help from Google and got the chords (mostly accurate).
Then I wrote the melody down, which was a bit of a nightmare...
I am primarily playing/learning piano but I also mess around with everything else available for midi control, so I want something that can do a bit of everything. Currently I have a Nektar impact GX61 but Im looking to upgrade to 88 keys with a better action and preferable textured/not slippy...
Hi,
I hope this is the right subforum :)
I'm looking for a DAW. I'm new to music production. I used CakeWalk 20+ years ago to enter all notes of classical piano pieces and make it sound "good" there (weird hobby...), but apart from that, I've barely touched a DAW since. I installed Cubase and...

Hi there,
Since the ddsp-piano model has come true, I want to start a thread here testing and discussing the ddsp-piano model and further, the machine learning approach in music synthesis.
So what makes realistic piano performance synthesis through machine learning possible? Well I think...
It's been a while since the last time I accessed pianobook, but yeah :) it's still great and full of beautiful [hidden] gems.

The name of the library could NOT be any more descriptive. When I heard about it, my first initial reaction was I already have NI's Noire. Wrong! They're not even close. It really takes care of a very broad spectrum of one's musical needs. Anywhere from playing traditional piano to all kinds of...
During the investigation of the history of our very old piano made by Franz Oeser from Vienna, we dove in the mechanics (action) of the piano and found that it is partly responsible for the typical sound. We didn't know this when we decided to create a virtual instrument out of the piano. But...

Hi,
I'm currently trying to find a new keyboard with a good action in the range of around 900€ (+- 200€) and I can honestly say that this is more confusing than my studies.
Now for my question: do keyboards have a different feel even if they have the same keybed/action (whatever you call it)...

Ageing brings wisdom, the building of inner strength and the collection of beautiful memories. Like thumbing through old photographs, "I Remember" is touching and reflective. The long, soaring melody of the clarinet and the steadfast rhythm of the piano present a nostalgic performance...
