Wouldn't you need the box version if you wanted to add it to another computer? I have a laptop for use "live" but would probably want it on a desktop at home.

No, you can install both boxed and download version on a second computer.

Hi, just installed Vintage D on my computer and I think it's great. Highly playable, great sounding. It's such a joy to play that I've made two short "real-world user" demos - basically the default patch, built-in convolution reverb turned on and that's it.

I'm not a piano player at all but for several years I had an opportunity to sit behind the real thing in the school studio so I am familiar with THE sound and it's unbelievable what you're getting for your money. I own many software piano libraries and like and dislike many of them for different reasons - Sampletekk, EastWest, NI Akoustik, Imperfect Samples etc. I already know that there simply is no best either hardware or software piano, but what I particularly like about Vintage D is the middle register - area around middle C. In my opinion they've got this right and the sound is not getting muddy even when things turn a bit complex.

Still haven't dealt with all the features, I just want to sit and play and enjoy the timbre. I have come across a few strangely ringing notes at certain velocities, but haven't tried to study it further yet.

BTW, I am using Roland RD-700SX and still searching for the better key action - this might be the answer for "are there any playable samples" thread as well. I think one problem which we all encounter is the weird connection between keys and sound. Something just doesn't feel right. But I have to admit I feel much better since the time I realized that I am not trying to replace the real piano, but I am trying to replace the real piano recording:-)

Sorry for my English, haven't used it for a long time. I hope some of it makes sense.

A sounds identical to the Vintage D demo recording, although I hear a very subtle artifact in places that I don't hear on the original (a very faint scratchy sound)

Both sound very nice, but I prefer A over B. (I don't know the source of B)

Do you have a preference for one over the other, Glenn?

Thanks,
Greg.

I still can't find the upgrade. I have Galaxy II but would like to get the deal for the Vintage D Kontakt 4 upgrade. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Sorry,
We had some delay due to a scripting problem. Hopefully we can release the download this week and have the DVDs printed in about 2 weeks.
Thanks for your patience.
