I've never used ivory, but I have the 1gb sample of the bozendorfer
Grand from EastWest, and I played it through VSampler and tried it
in a recording recently. I put it side by side, as you might say,
with a yamaha p120 electric piano, and I can tell you that I, and my
recording partners, all agreed that the yamaha certainly sounded
warmer and more full. Now, i probably could have eqed the eastwest
sample to get warmer, but we're talking "straight from the factory"
here. I know Ivory has been discussed on this list, but I don't
recall how accessible it is with jaws. Most of the higher softsynths
aren't accessible, so you can't edit the sounds the way you want,
which is why you won't get strings or brasses sounding the way you
do in a hardware synth. The demos you hear of these instruments are
done with sounds already edited, layered, etc by technicians from
the manufacturers; which is why they sound as great as they do in the demo.

There is not a hardware synth on the market that i know of that can
touch ivory grant or art vista for pianos. The kurzweil is very good
at pianos but there just different sounding. The motifs sound to
digital to me but i know they are supposed to have some very good
expantion boards and those pianos sound really good from what i have
heard. But, i guess you just can't beat a 40 gig sampled library of
pianos verses maybe a 30 meg hardware sample.
