Ravenscroft, first piano library I felt that wasn't a sample (like Grandeur and even Noire), the response is very good, and the mic variations are very pleasing.
Can I just buy the Grandeur and use it w/ my Yamaha CP4 or ROLAND as a Controller like I do with other Plug-ins? Or do I need to buy a separate MIDI CONTROLLER? Thx in advance, George
@@GeorgeAmodei21Hey George, you can absolutely use your CP4. As long as you have your keyboard properly routed, you can have it control any software instrument.
it s my favorite too but its really hard to get it clean sounding after bouncing from logic pro x , it always sound like saturated even if i keep the velocity low any tips ?
Your channel has really helped me a lot bro! May God bless you, and equip you to continue doing this amazing work! Much love from Cape Town, South Africa! Definitely looking for more content from you on gospel sounds!
This is great. Thanks! Sound is secondary to me (they all can pass generally) as I’m more concerned about which most feels like a piano (classical piano) and the best midi keybed that emulates an actual piano (preferably wood keys). My goal is to replicate an actual piano.
I have all of them. Pianoteq used to be my go-to piano solution. Now, I pretty much rock with Native Instruments Noire most of the time. I do not really care for Alicia's Keys even though I have it as part of Komplete 14 Collector's version. For anything with an electric piano... Keyscape is head and shoulders above the others mentioned in this video. As for Ravenscroft 275, I don't even have it installed anymore. That goes for Garritan Abbey Road CFX too. I wish that I could have gotten my money back on those last two and a bunch more (I'm talking to you, VI-Labs and Gospel Musicians etc...)
Me too, it's supports have pedaling, tuning the velocity like may make it even, sound close to the nord piano. It's playability is unique, buh keyscape also has depth in it's sound, just that I like the lows are too much, or maybe it's from my headphones 🎧🤷🏾♂️
Ravenscroft is so bright and less muddy ... keyscape is rich but not that quality, clean per say ... Ravenscroft takes the day and my disk space as well .. thanks for this one sir
KeySuite bundle Augmented Piano Ravenscroft by UVi Noir &Grandeur&Giant by NI forever bro❤ But keys by keyscape and augmented piano by Arturia too much goodness ❤
I own KeyScape and think it is the best it has a lot of pianos and their Studio would be the one like the Ravenscroft. As far as piano VST's Keyscape and the ones in Logic and Rhodes VST are all I'm familiar with so a lot of my comparison is with my stage pianos builtin pianos. I've had Nord, Kronos, and Roland and and in general I like the Keyscape better than the builtins. Nord pianos I'm on the fence about some days I like them a lot or other days not so much, but even in the Nord I like their Yamaha C7 sample. Also as you mention Keyscape is more than just acoustic pianos it has quite a collection of electric pianos and variations, Clavinets and other keyboard instruments. Plus they are all tweakable. Gear videos are nice but prefer the ones on playing. For me the notes are what's important not the sounds.
@@thegiftedhandsmusicSorry I typed Keyscape by mistake . I don't even know what the other presets sound like . I meant to say Ravenscroft is the best ! It is so rich !! I really like the Ravenscroft tone .
Heyy awesome video how are you capturing audio sound from piano?? Using a phone camera? And if not how please assist and also how do you make it clean when making piano videos
Im gonna save someone a lot of time here. I have all these vsts, and the best piano for live playing is……. Sampletekk TBO MKII YEP! the nord sample bank!
keyscape sampling from yamaha C7 of course warmer, but not always best for every performance and record, ravenscroft also really good and feels more clear, the others i don't really like, of course its all nice, but i will prefer those other if i there's no keyscape or ravenscroft..
What do I need on my computer to use these plugins? Are they standalone or do I need a software to run them? I have a Roland fp30x with built in audio interface and a usb cable to connect it to my pc. Thanks!
Which keyboards support VST's? What type of keyboard are you playing on in the video? Also, Im thinking I need a computer or laptop too. Right? Man, I'm poor.
Desktop will give more bang for the buck. I built my own (13th gen) i7 on a ASROCK motherboard, 32GB RAM and 1TB Samsung SSD. Cost me about $1000 USD, to buy a laptop close to these specs would cost $4-5K.
@@lundswedenI love having Windows but the problem with a Desktop is that its a giant box that you would have it lug around. Plus I would want to have mainstage, which Windows, sadly does not have. And for me, I like using it for church and stuff in my mini studio so I mean…
Alicia's keys sounds that good because of your playing. Not a good piano for Jazz. The tone of it is just too strong for me. Ravenscroft is da bomb! Keyscape has an edge of realism that is fantastic. Still like Ravenscroft a bit more though.
U mentioned that u often use Kontakt stuff for productions. I’m curious your opinion why that is? I thought these sounded amazing, but do they not translate well in mixes?
Keyscape sounds full and rich ❤️
keyscape sucks when you play higher notes. and bass notes. nothing like ravenscroft or the garritan
no it doesnt lol
Keyscape is actually the best to me it has some good natural sounds without changing the reverb
Love it! I have keyscape, and it often gets muddy at the mids,

@@GeorgeAmodei21 Yes, just buy, download and enjoy.

@@clarkharrell2227 good to know. ( I just didn’t need another 88 weighted. ) ☺️👍🙏
Noire pure piano kontakt is one of my favs.
it s my favorite too but its really hard to get it clean sounding after bouncing from logic pro x , it always sound like saturated even if i keep the velocity low any tips ?
Please do some more play throughs I am always looking for the best vst piano for iPad and mac
Garritan...Ravenscroft & Pianoteq is it for me.... sometimes use the Giant & Gentleman from Native Instruments...Good review ma bro.
Me Keyscape I use either the Bright or Natural Live. I have ravenscroft275 its amazing but Keyscape my Favorite!
Your channel has really helped me a lot bro! May God bless you, and equip you to continue doing this amazing work! Much love from Cape Town, South Africa! Definitely looking for more content from you on gospel sounds!
Greetings from Nigeria sir😂❤❤❤
All are great. Alicia's keys was amazing in it's day, but needs and update
I personally really love the Garritan CFX piano
This is great. Thanks! Sound is secondary to me (they all can pass generally) as I’m more concerned about which most feels like a piano (classical piano) and the best midi keybed that emulates an actual piano (preferably wood keys). My goal is to replicate an actual piano.
The best one out there would be the VPC1 top action and real wooden keys 🎹
I have all of them. Pianoteq used to be my go-to piano solution. Now, I pretty much rock with Native Instruments Noire most of the time.

Noire is my main piano to go and same goes for keyscape.
Nice comment, I prefer ravensCroft

I'm I the only one who thinks keyscape has too much lows?
that's it I'm buying keyscape. rent will have to wait until next month
Ravenscroft is well Balance, PianoTeq, Keyscape, Kontakt you have it all covered. I would love to see More❤
some plugin to increase the volume without distorting the natural sound because it sounds very quiet to me. I use FL stusio
help me
Thanks for this useful review can you please share your Arturia Keylab 88MK2 and keyscape Velocity setup used ? thanks
Keyscape= wow!
Keyscape is the best ! 😅It sounds so rich and natural !

Is the sound quality of Ravenscroft on IOS the same as what you’re using
Yes
Good job man
Your Awesome!
awesome!
Alicia's keys sounds that good because of your playing. Not a good piano for Jazz. The tone of it is just too strong for me. Ravenscroft is da bomb! Keyscape has an edge of realism that is fantastic. Still like Ravenscroft a bit more though.
U mentioned that u often use Kontakt stuff for productions. I’m curious your opinion why that is? I thought these sounded amazing, but do they not translate well in mixes?
I cant really tell the difference
keyscape just sounded better when you started playing, but thats just me i guess
Your music did the talking
All of them depending on my mood. Pianoteq is absolutely trash! Hope it gets better overtime
Pianoteq
Synthage beats them hands down
what a noisy keyboard
