sounds good. i think these products have hit a ceiling, i mean how much more realistic can you get. This sounds great, but i cant really hear much difference in quality between some of the patches here and some from say another plugin like lounge lizard or elektrik piano. But good stuff non-the-less.

 

[thedreampolice]

If you turn on the mechanics and blend that it really sounds great. Also if you really bang the keys it gets all wonky like the real thing. Loung and elektrik are great but neither do that. Check out media on the above link to see what i mean. great stuff!

congrats. but what the hell u gonna do with it? i thought pt doesnt support midi...??

 

[thedreampolice]

no I think since ver 6 they have had good midi support. The sequencer is actually not that bad. Also you can rewire reason and use reasons sequencer, and i really love reasons sequencer.

 

[open mind]

ah ok.

oh yeah, i saw the video too and saw that. It's a great additions to make the sound more realistic. Now if they could port over the plugin for vst and au use, that would be something.

 

[thedreampolice]
