#Pianoteq 5 vs download#

I downloaded the demo and it does indeed sound good and the playability is excellent, but unfortunately I cannot download and directly compare it with the Vienna Imperial! So IвЂ™m looking for others opinions to help me think this through as I would hate to spend so much money on the Imperial only to be disappointed. Pros: Amazing sound with excellent features. VSL is a proven awesome company with excellent support.Д¬ons: Sample based so will take more resources (probably needs an SSD?) Potentially long load times? Is pretty pricey for a single piano. Pros: More cost effective vs Imperial and comes with the choice of two pianos (I seem to like the K2 & YC5 but open to suggestions). Has fair amount of presets to hopefully help it fit into different styles of music. No samples so instant load times and less resources maybe?Д¬ons: DidnвЂ™t have that instant вЂњwowвЂќ factor I experienced when listening to the Imperial. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts and opinions. IвЂ™m open to other suggestions for pianos as well. IвЂ™m really looking for a piano that can be the final in my progressive rock tracks.

Though it will sometimes be in a supportive role, it will more importantly be used as a featured instrument and needs to be full range. For example I have the White Grand from Sampletekk and its good in a dense mix, but lacks some body and that emotion when soloвЂ™d IMO. Man, if I could just test this in my studio I would be able to solve this dilemma! I also have their Black Grand Ambient which is good as well, but is lacking that вЂњalivenessвЂќ I instantly get from the Vienna Imperial demos. If youвЂ™re aiming for, say, a classical pianosound, there is such as thing as an established timbre and a certain character and colour which make for a clear reference with a long and well-documented, often-recorded history. Which means that, if your looking to buy a virtual instrument primarily to render classically styled pieces with, thereвЂ™s more to making a wise choice than just personal preference.

No matter how good, say, the Emotional may be to render Thomas Newman-esque pianophrases with, you wonвЂ™t last two bars with it if youвЂ™re attempting to do something Г la maniГЁre de virtuoso Liszt, Prokofiev or Busoni.
