Mazumo Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hey guys, I'm looking into doing some piano music, but I'm having some trouble coming up with any decent sounding plugins or soundfonts. Do you guys have any recommendations? They can be free or payware. I just want to get some suggestions thrown out there. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Synthogy "Ivory" is a piano library considered to be one of the best out there. It's hundreds of dollars, however. For a little less, there's TruePianos (www.truepianos.com) which takes up MUCH less space, and sounds very good. For free, you could look for the "Yamaha Clavinova" soundfont.

Moseph Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 TASCAM Giga Continuous Velocity Piano. It's free. And it's really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunahorum Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 holy crap 50 gigs. No way I am getting that unless I get a new computer. And then again GVI is good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can choose to only use the piano that you need. I only use the Bosendorfer one (16 gigs or so), that's clearly enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I have problems with Tascam's. I always hear a thunk after some notes, I don't know if it's to simulate realizm or not, but I don't like it there and I don't know how to turn it off.

IMO, it improves the sound dramatically, and the effects can be lessened by pedaling like you would on an actual piano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I don't have any pedals, so I can't at the moment, I just wish it either wasn't quite as loud or had the option to turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
