MessageHi. Yes, I didn't quite understand that either. I must've spent close to 8 grand in the last 18 months on setting my new system up. I could've easily gone to PirateBay and downloaded illegal copies. In fact, when I was starting out, I did exactly that so I could assess how certain plugs work in terms of accessibility. However, all the software on my new PC is totally legal and I wouldn't risk messing it up with corrupted software. I've got no morral drum to bang on this one. I just think if you've got the cash, buy the stuff, it's the right thing to do. If you ain't got the cash, save up, do some session work for other folks and charge for it. There are so many ways to make money these days. The net has opened up a whole new world for, sorry for the terminology, disabled people, there's no real excuse for sitting back and hoping for a hand out. OK, sorry taken things off topic.

Somebody worked hard to develop it. Why shouldn't you pay for it? Do you think that just because you are blind you're entitled to prevail on the sympathy of other hard working adults?

Omar, I found this piano from Quantum leap, it's much cleaner than the Virtual piano, however, I don't feel it's as warm as the piano Kevin put on the forum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynFpcCimM80 Phil hears the purity of a piano sound, where I feel the emotion and energy that the piano may be able to deliver. For ballads and classic Jazz I think the Virtual piano is great. The other extreme is, I use a Korg SP200 for my Rock 'N' Roll shows, it's a hard cold sounding piano but no other electric piano that I've come across Rocks a venue like it. Hard dirty bass notes and bright treble, just point me at that piano and I'll have the place Rocking and Rolling!

There's some great products that work with Kontakt, such ashame these companies don't have these products using Dimension Pro.
