EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I suppose you are right; however, I think it will work for my recordings. I
believe that the demo is over-produced anyway and could account for some of
the lack of soul in the recording. Of course, there is no replacement for
the real thing, but this is the most tolerable fake piano I have ever heard.
The real test will be playing it myself. But I'm often surprised how
comfortable I feel in a piano program that has realistic action, and not
many programs can give me this feeling. "The Grand" probably does it best.
