Like what? Chair creaks? Finger noises? When was the last time you've demoed Pianoteq? v2? That's not very good, I agree. The Pianoteq is missing so much of what you hear in a real piano (Sorry for my English - I am not a native speaker)
#Best pianoteq preset for recording free
And after I found that the Pianoteq included a free Spinet I gave it a try:Īre there any Spinet sounds in the Kronos and how does it sound? If anybody with both (Pianoteq and Kronos) could create a comparison mp3 - I would love it.Īnother sound I want is a Spinet - since I sold my real Spinet last month. Since the Kronos has a Yamaha Piano as well I wonder if it sounds as nice as the Pianoteq or even better. It sounds best for my needs to get the closest 'piano next to me feeling' when I use the Yamaha Piano 'Studio Player' preset and the Reverb 'chamber - player' preset. While waiting for the Kronos - and being told that the 88 Key version will be here (in Germany) by October, I found again Pianoteq and bought the latest version and Yamaha piano upgrade. Some years ago I tried an older version of Pianoteq and compared it to my Native Instruments Akustik Piano lib - and the NI one won. I have used a lot of hardware synth and soft-synth libs. One of the main things I want is a great Piano sound. Korg Kronos, CASIO PX-5S, Yamaha VL1, author of unrealBook for iPad. In fact, most of the piano libraries take out much of what makes a piano sound like a piano (when you are playing it), and leaves you with a very pure sound that is nothing like what a piano sounds like when you are sitting and playing it. The Pianoteq is missing so much of what you hear in a real piano - but the response is pretty decent. It doesn't sound anywhere near a real piano - but neither does the Kronos. While SGX-1 does sound good, I would still prefer Pianoteq for any delicate or extensive/demanding/expressive solo piano piece.įrom the demo I tried Pianoteq sounds very artificial. In fact, I heard none at all (hint to Korg - "damper resonance" is not the same thing as "sympathetic resonance" ).Īlso, 8 velocity layers on SGX-1 compared to no velocity layers on Pianoteq. Posted: Thu 3:50 pm Post subject: Kronos Piano / EPiano vs Pianoteq?įor the ones owning both a Kronos and the Pianoteq SW - which one sounds better, any comments welcome.įrom what I've heard of SGX-1, Kronos doesn't do sympathetic resonance like Pianoteq.
