Have a listen to this piano chordal test file (not a song, just a few chords etc.) and let me know what piano library you think it is. The answer may surprise you:
Yes, it's pretty bright all the way through the dynamics, but is really punchy and fun to play. I'll give it 24 hours before revealing what it is.No idea but it sounds like a piano with not many layers (less than 5 ??). Nice timbre and character.
Good guess but no.My sixth sense tells me it's not Pianoteq for sure
I like the sound of it.
My guess would be NI Grandeur. Sounds nice and full, but a bit underrated library.
Melda MReverb MBor some other reverb.
Ha - thanks, but the playing is just random test stuff. Interesting guess - I can hear the similarities but it's not XLN audio.Nice playing.
I'll have a musically uneducated guess and throw an XLN Audio piano into the ring.
Are you referring to the 1st or 2nd example?Sounds very much like a physical keyboard piano preset (Yamaha?) with very limited sampling.
Same sample stretched across way too many keys. Although maybe I just find the tone strange in places. Fairly static sounding too.
Not the unreleased Wholesounds 1988 Baldwin Grand - I have no insider knowledge of where that's at apart from "Coming Soon". Not a Sampletekk piano or Wavesfactory Mercury, but good ears - they are tonally similarI'd say it's not a Steinway.
As you say "The answer may surprise you", maybe it's the unreleased 1988 Connelly Chapel Baldwin Grand which is hopefully finished now?
Or Sampletekk 7CG?
Wavesfactory Mercury? (Although that wouldn't be too surprising)
I like the ambience in the sound. Once the piano is revealed, please let us know if that comes from room mics, IRs or some other reverb.
+1No idea really, it could be any library with the 300000 zillion piano libraries nowadays.
Notice Craig carefully NOT mentioning Sonivox, because he doesn’t want to call out the winner yet. Also, I guessed the reverbNot the unreleased Wholesounds 1988 Baldwin Grand - I have no insider knowledge of where that's at apart from "Coming Soon". Not a Sampletekk piano or Wavesfactory Mercury, but good ears - they are tonally similar
