![]() Like a real piano, Keyscape will take some effort on your part to make it sound its best. In the hands of Lewis Hamilton - it would perform well, but driven by the average Joe, you will find it difficult to control, expensive in the long run, and you are far better off with a less exotic car - Honda, Toyota or Ford with an automatic gear. those who can really play keys astonishingly well, it's like driving a formula 1 car. May I add, Keyscape instrument is for purists, and professional keyboard players, ie. ![]() you may need to eq out some of that bottom end. I also think that the Spectrasonics Keyspace has this overall tone better suited for sparse music like jazz, classical, new age, because it has a full rich tone, with more bass, which may not work too well in pop oriented tracks, i.e. If you do not have one of the latest and greatest specced computers, do not even think about Spectrasonics Keyscape.ī3 - organ, is not an area of focus for me, so sorry I cannot help you there, except to say neither of the piano centric options I have suggested has a Hammond organ. Listen to demos, consider all of the above and take your pick. What else - Spectrasonics sampled a Yamaha C7 piano, and toned down the sharp attack with softer felt on the hammers. One omission I find in Spectrasonics is that the acoustic pianos do not explicitly provide multiple microphone positions, which is an advantage of the Addictive Keys - grand piano. Spectrasonics tools are like Rolls Royces - ideally for only those at the top of their game or passion, the creme de la creme, with chauffeurs (i.e lots of high end computers, time to tweak and configure settings, and a budget/clientele to justify all this extensive effort). The fact that you had to ask on Gearslutz leads me to recommend Addictive Keys which would be much easier to get into - cost wise, effort and difficulty also. Addictive Keys also has a limited demo you can download and try out for yourself. I think Addictive Keys will give you a better result if you are not already an advanced software instrument user. Its difficult to describe the exact kind of piano sounds you are after, and this makes it hard to recommend. And so many variations in recording approach/chain. The challenge with keyboard instruments is - there are so many variations of piano sound and electric piano sound, as these instruments have developed in the acoustic/real world versions over centuries and decades. Sound Quality - this is subjective - and very personal. Spectrasonics takes several minutes to load, even on the fastest most powerful computers. ![]() Loading time - Addictive Keys loads very very fast. However I think what Addictive Keys offers is far more than adequate. cos they do a lot, so much flexibility. Spectrasonics instruments generally demand lots of memory and CPU. Keyscape will only work in 32 bit if used within Omnisphere version 2. Resources - Addictive Keys are definitely far less demanding of your CPU and memory requirements. JeffThe keyboard instruments from Addictive Keys are good, and Keyscape is certainly at the top of the pile. Anyone out there have a recommendation out of these 2 or should I be looking at others? My priority here is to get a great Grand piano sound but would also like to have some cool, Rhodes and B3 sounds.
