    The Giant isn't simulating a fake really tall piano. It's sampled from an actual really tall piano. It's sampled from the Klavins Piano Model 370i, a two story tall upright piano. The Una Corda is also a real instrument from the same company, which has one string per note.

    OK, sir, I have to tell you. This is by far the best "demo some VST" video I've ever seen, especially of piano VSTs. Everyone rapes pianos with contemporary harmonies, blending everything in one big mess. I don't even like classical music that much, but you delivered exactly what a musician needs to hear when deciding on a new VST. All the nuances, all the dynamics, all the individual characters. Kudos. Thank you very much.

    I love me a good clear and crisp sounding grand piano. You can always take away from the sound and make it darker, but it's much tricker to put it back in and make it brighter. Noire and Gandeur are definitely my favorites here

    Props to your chops. I've mostly watched your modular stuf until now. It's clear to me how equalizing synth gear is -- one can get great musical results with minimal virtuosity or even music theory training. Watching you tickle the ivories just now shows me that you're coming from a place of many hours of a traditional music practice (maybe everyone already knew that about you? Am I late to the party?). That's definitely something special in my eyes. I'm inspired. Anyhoo... I thoroughly enjoyed watching and hearing you today. Thanks.

      The Maverick, Noire, or Grandeur with Raum sound better, in my opinion. That setup instead with a skilled player. Maybe some accompanying pads in the background from Massive X or FM8 would be killer, or a soundscape from Ashlight or Straylight with the pianist playing over it. 😎👍

    Actually The Giant is not a simulated or emulated piano but a real piano. It’s the Model 370i (3.70 meters in height) by David Klavins who also built the Una Corda (one string per note) and just recently the Model 470i (4.70 meters in height).
    And what happened to ALL the other pianos by Native Instruments? I could spot at least another 7:
    • Berlin Grand (which was dismissed when the Gentleman/Grandeur/Maverick arrived but just recently showed up in the downloads again)
    • Kontakt Factory Library:
    - Band/Acoustic Pianos/Grand Piano
    - Band/Acoustic Pianos/Ragtime Piano
    - Band/Acoustic Pianos/Upright Piano

    The Una Corda is really interesting, especially without the added "textures." The Noire probably my favorite of the grand piano styles. More presence and accuracy than any of the others, but no harsh high end.

    • @Jason75913
      @Jason75913 Год назад +1

      I heard that, too. The Grandeur and The Maverick have "Deep" presets that sound more impressive like the Noire. The default presets that load when you load each library will not show off each libraries' best, in my opinion.

    "Alicia's Keys" reminded me of an extremely good Steinway B. In a studio with acoustically dead walls, so no wall reflections that muddy it. (Each instrument has its own character and depending on preference you may like the one in the showroom, think "meh", or dislike it.)

      Yes, the grandeur is definitely the best sound out of the first three. Big rich bass and crisp highs. I know he says the Maverick has a darker more mellow tone, but if you want that you can just turn down the tone color of the grandeur halfway and you get the same result, but with the same full sound.

      @@esongsore I ultimately decided on Noire. It's an amazing sound and there are two of them, pure and felt. Combined with the particle engine and all the different variables you can adjust, you have many different pianos in one package. Grandeur and Maverick are both beautiful and can be modified as well. With the 50% off sale currently going on, I could also save more on the Noire which is more expensive than the other two.
