  3. Sampled Pianos NOT up to par for playability AND sound in one package

    I would like to see a list of other individuals user experience with other Sampled Pianos and their take on "playability". By playability, I mean specifically the ability to play ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, and fff. Something that is as close to the real thing as possible. I am not talking just...

  5. Piano suggestions for live playing on a mono system (in a church)

    I'm frustrated with the Kurzweil SP88 that they have at the church where I play as part of of a band (Bass, Ac Guitar, Kit, Keyboards, Vocals). The piano sound is quite brittle and the Hammond and Rhodes sounds aren't much chop either. Sometimes I take a keyboard in from the home studio (Roland...

  7. Unhappy Why in the hell isn't mono compatibility a top shelf issue?

    Many of us are using sampled pianos live now. The vast majority sound like poo when they are summed. There is a real need for a fine mono sampled piano

  12. Do all Piano Samples have Latency issues??

    They have all the specs I want. 61/76/88 keys, weighted action, mod/pitch wheel, USB-hub, price around 700$/500 euro, transport buttons for Logic, clean design. Too cheap? Has anyone tried one of 'em? http://www.cme-pro.com/products-list/product-ZSC88.html
