Re: [EXS] Steiny D - Sampled Steinway D for EXS24 out now!

2005-03-15 by nicolas@choukroun.com

Ok, you know what I'll do? I'm going to purchase your piano.

If you have spent this time and this work to sample this piano, it is worth 
the 80 USD -and even more -, and I'll have something real to compare.
I've almost every sampled piano (I buy them) including the Imperial and so 
on...also I've already sampled 3 piano (yes, but only 4 velocities and no 
pedal), I'll compare, and see.

But in the past I've been quite disapointed by the other purchases I did, 
with a Occiloscope or an FTT you can see that most (I'll not give any name) 
are doing layers with the 2 adjacent layers to double the velocity. It does 
make sense, if you say the truth, but these piano are always doing a lot of 
marketing blabla that are far from the real result. Also it creates huge 
soundbanks that are too heavy in my opinion and less efficient.

Don't you agree that there is a lot of marketing about all these piano, 
doing 2gb and that sounds so small. I've played on Steinway, Bosen, Yamaha 
etc. and I can't find even 50% of the original feeling of playing with the 
sampled piano I own.

Btw I'm not native English and I'm not sure precisely 'scam' means, maybe it 
was a bit too ... dirty? It is not in my dictionnary :) apologizes.

I'll purchase the online download version, and I'll send my comments 
privately.
