Music creators rating the music libraries.
By David Christiansen
When it comes to high-class piano libraries Synthology has been on top for several years. I’ve loved the possibilities of Ivory but then changed to other pianos because, in my point of view, they had more realistic samples.
ANOTHER PIANO LIBRARY?
Like most composers I had virtual pianos and was quite happy. Mainly I was using Alicia Keys and the Steinway piano included in Native Instruments KOMPLETE.
There isn’t anything out there in the world of digital music reproduction that beats the sound of a real instrument. Nevertheless, the piano is one of those instruments that composers, performers and audio engineers have sought to emulate over the years.
With ultra-powerful computers with higher sample rates and more memory, it has become a viable alternative for many of us to incorporate (albeit representations of ) high-class and immaculately recorded pianos in our work.
