O yeh. Still smiling here! Still don't like the 6th D, being particularly
out of tune when compared to the rest of the instrument. When tuning pianos
at college, I would have been made to tune that note again and rightly so.
To me, that makes the whole thing sound inconsistent. Not personally keen
on the phasing of the sound. That's what I love about sound. One mans
greatest piano ever is another mans out of tune out of phase sounding piano,
smile. Of course, this is coming from someone who's a piano tuner so, I am
never wild about phasing on pianos anyway.

Hi Phil,
I too notice tuning issues and the phasing sound when notes were held.
This maybe deliberate as the phasing didn't sound digital, plus, they seem
to have chosen a piece of music that had a lot of held chords almost
pointing out the phasing quality.
The imperfections made it sound like a real piano.
I also slightly detune instruments in my horn section to create a more
believable horn section sound.
The problem with some of these other pianos, is they sometimes sound too
pure, all real pianos have their faults whether it be tuning issues or just
that the notes resonate too long...
I could hear the body of this piano like someone was sitting at it, not
triggering it from a mother keyboard.
One other thing I liked about this piano when taking a quick look at spec,
it isn't 70GB like the Quantum Leap Piano, I believe this virtual piano is
only 6GB.
That's my personal take on it, the question is, is Phil still smiling ha ha.
Seriously Phil, I must thank you for your work with Superior, had a storming
gig last Week and the dance floor had people on it from the second song of
the night.

Wasn't epersonally that impressed with this myself. It didn't entirely
sound in tune. I could hear a slight phasing on the notes and as for the
6th D, it's frankly, out of tune.

Wow Kevin,
If I hadn't been told that it was a Virtual piano, I would have just
excepted that it was a quality recorded piano.
There's some great products that work with Kontakt, such ashame these
companies don't have these products using Dimension Pro.
