I thought it was alright, nothing breathtaking but cool that it is modelled. I still use Ivory here.

I've just had a chance to play the Galaxy II Pianos Vienna Grand, and it is absolutely breathtaking. I have used Synthogy Ivory, White Grand, Black Grand, The Big One, and many others. This is the best IMHO.

I have Ivory, and Galaxy and many, many others.
I was looking for something that is an easy travel tool.
The best Grand's so far, is the East West Pianos. They really do sound excellent.
Better than anything I have heard yet.

Isn't that thing like 200 gigabytes? jesus I would hope it sounded good. I wasn't that impressed with some of the demos I heard but maybe that's just the demos.

It is like 60 gigs per piano.
I guess it depends on what you are playing and how you are playing it.
It is much richer and fuller than Ivory. The little details really shine.
I don't know if they are compressing the demo's, if they are, that would obviously kill the dynamics.

true Lex. I guess the sound of a piano is subjective and dependent on the use. A fuller piano would be better for solo or classical style whereas you probably need something lighter to fit in a busier mix.

I was looking for a sampled piano a couple of weeks ago. I didn't like the demos of any of them, so I'm still looking............!

This sort of thread is what I find most valuable about forums. Peoples' subjective opinions about which things are great and why save me enormous amounts of shopping time.
I want to get one or two great piano instruments to use in Nuendo. I don't care at all about ease of transport, massive space requirements, etc. It will never leave the room here, and I have practically unlimited disk space. And in most cases, there will be few other instruments or plug-ins running at the same time. So I doubt computer speed will be much of a factor either. Obviously of great importance is solid compatibility with Nuendo and Cubase. I'd also like to be able to run on Mac and Windows, but am currently running Nuendo on a Q6600 quad XP machine, Cubase on a Core 2 Duo XP box.
From reading this thread, I gather that I should look at Galaxy II Pianos Vienna Grand, East West Pianos, and Ivory. All I have here now is The Grand 2, which I haven't really played with much yet. I was also thinking about that Steinway authorized one. The kinds of things I need piano for are 1) solo classical piano, 2) Jazzy stuff (think Van Morrison's Mose Allison covers), 3) honky tonk things like "Rockin' Pneumonia" and 4) ear candyish new age.
I'd love it if we could have continually updatable stickies in this Virtuosity forum for the various instrument categories, where everybody could argue the relative merits of their favorites. It would be great to be able to look through "Piano VSTis," "Guitars & Basses," Modeled Vintage Synths," etc., to hear the latest opinions before buying something. The same idea for other plug-ins like compressors, reverbs & EQs would be great too.
I hope this isn't too much of a hijacking of this thread.

Wait for this for your piano if there is any truth:

Ultimately, what we want to do is have a database of products--vsts, vstis, other software, hardware, audio cards--whre members can submit their own reviews and experience. Not sure when this could happen but it could be cool.

Yes it would be great! If that were there right now, I'd be spending my every waking moment reading it. I've been floundering around with this whole Nuendo thing for years, but it has always been a background task for me, just preparation for actually using it. Now that I am turning my full attention to media creation, I'm ravenous for information that'll help me get my systems tweaked up and fully operational ASAP.

The mod there posted a "FAKE" warning, saying that it had been denied by someone who he had verified was from Steinberg.
Any opinions about whether or not I could ever find a single piano product to meet my wildly different needs VS having to buy more than one?

It could also be a "leak" as well, who knows.

About this, how would it be done without being "forum like" in other words, are you wanting a "blog" type thing, if so that would be so cool I think.

Probably some kind of wiki database with alphabetical listings. The next version of vbulletin will have Blog functionality so maybe we could somehow use that.

This is all so off-topic now I know but save endless new thread requests..
..blogs do cost money, I saw it on the vbulletin website. I hope that won't stop it from happening since it would be heaps cool (not to plagerise) include articles and things with permission or citing things from other sources.
There is a cubase wiki, perhaps they could be merged, that would be great no?
