MessageHi 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.
