But of course, that's just me.ĭigital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths &a. Yeah, I like how it looks in my living room and hate how the "console" piano's look, so it was worth a couple grand (that's dollars) extra to me. So in the end, I bought my CVP for its keyboard, speakers, amplifiers, and it's mini-grand case. Because if you are concerned you will end up using software pianos, which are better than the built-in sounds and will always be improving while your hardware piano will not. So I wouldn't be concerned about how good the built-in piano sounds are if you are concerned about how good the piano sounds. I bought it fully expecting to use software pianos for better sound, and that is exactly what I have done. The other thing I use very, very, very, very little is the built in piano sounds of my CVP. And after experimenting with them, I have used them very, very little, fulfilling all of my expectations. Well seriously, I did want to experiment with the arranger features even though I expected to use them very, very little. I have a software piano (steinberg ‘the grand3’) and Garritan jazz& bb and hope to add a Hammond simulator. In my case, I wanted to play with that stuff because I'm an engineer and addicted to bells and whistles. If you don't want/need the voices and arranger features then why not buy a CLP for less? It responds and interacts just like a real acoustic instrument, and allows you to tweak the beautiful sounds in amazing ways all with a tiny memory footprint. That's unlikely to happen with Pianoteq, especially if you know you already like the sound.I'd echo James. Pianoteq uses a unique powerful physical model that creates the sound in realtime as you play instead of playing back a set of recorded samples. You could easily be put off playing/practicing by getting a sample library that you just don't get on with or that you don't feel 'connected to' when you play. I'd say get the standard edition as soon as you can, and if you find yourself longing for a different sort of sound, poke around in the world of samples later on. I've spent 15-20 years chasing great sample libraries and it's only this year that I've found ones that I enjoy playing as much as Pianoteq. I don't know what stage you're at in learning the piano, but for the reasons you mentioned, I'd buy it and not look back: The chord recognition is a great learning tool, not having to wait for samples to load encourages a few minutes noodling or practicing when you might otherwise not bother, and the touch responsiveness/dynamics are good (I think) for helping develop good playing technique. If you want that particular combination of goodies and enjoy the sound of it, Pianoteq is hard to beat. Its perfect for practicing, since I can be up in running in literal seconds.ġ) are there any comparable libraries out there with unique features like thisĢ) how nice are the sales at Moddart usually? I don't think I would use any of the extra features pro introduces, but if someone has a compelling argument as to why its worth going with the pro version over standard, I would love to hear their thoughts! Anybody know what the discounts are usually like? I kinda just want to buy it now, but I am ballin on a budget already.I am gunning for the Standard Edition btw.Īre there any other piano libraries that have a nice standalone player, and that offer features like the persistent midi record feature PianoTeq has, or the way it tells you which chords you are playing if you hold the notes? Both of these features seem incredibly useful to me, and I love how fast PianoTeq is to load up since its modeled. So first of all, it looks like they usually do Black Friday sales. To me, PianoTeq sounds good enough, but also adds features on top that make it a must have for me. Yes, I have already read through a ton of threads on here about pianos and yes, I know full well about the sampled vs modeled debate, especially regarding PianoTeq. I am learning piano, and have been looking into various piano libraries.
