(Note they are all made by acoustic piano companies). The Nord Grand does this for me (Kawai action). It is important to have a keybed that gives control at the lower velocities and that lets you get at all the velocities. My experience is that a triple sensor keyboard is important. Basically you have to buy a keyboard for the action and then replace its sounds with much better samples in the computer. Ironically, this involves buying a top digital piano like the Nord Grand, Kawai, Yamaha, etc and then just using the MIDI output. The key to unlock the best samples is a great keybed. It is a low powered Linux computer in there - but more than adequate for streaming multi-gigabyte samples. The Kronos streams from disk, and many here use it.
Large samplers have been standard tech since Gigasampler 20 years ago. Any desktop or laptop system has about 100x the power of a typical keyboard. Can they deliver this as quickly as dedicated hardware like a Yamaha CP4 or what have you.Ībsolutely yes. That’s why need for fast cpu, Ram, and fast SSD. Can these instruments that retrieve 40gb of samples bring them under your fingers and to your ear quickly enough on your rig. Does mellow pp change to mp, mf, f and how smoothly have they programmed the change between layers and when that ping that piano strings make at f, ff+ is expected to happen on whatever your controller is.

Right, it’s really a matter of dynamic curves and how 0-127 gets interpreted by the software instrument. Here’s a cut from the D50 / Acousticsamples Fazoli session:ĭ-50 with Acousticsamples Fazioli Software Piano
Truth is I’ve yet to really understand why I can express myself better with some controllers and software pianos than others. This kind of messed with my previous beliefs about controllers and software pianos. Before we played I felt pessimistic about playing AP on a synth action but once we started I found that I could express myself pretty well.
I didn’t make any adjustments to the dynamic curve and don’t know how it was set. I had a surprisingly good jazz trio experience in a studio where they had a Roland D-50 (with synth action) triggering an Acousticsamples Fazoli software piano. But in that situation I was playing with a group and, as a result, likely required less dynamic nuance. It sounded really good and, as I recall, it felt pretty good. Pianoteq was the only software piano that reacted to my touch as desired/expected.Ī few years ago I used the CP4 to trigger Ivory II and made the dynamic curve adjustments in Ivory II. I was working on solo jazz piano and was striving for quite a bit of dynamic nuance. In recent times I’ve used the Casio PX-S3000 as a controller and made tweaks within the software pianos to adjust the dynamic curve.
