Simple and Beautiful
Really just a lovely sound and a pleasure to play. Picking this one up is a no brainer. The one issue I had was when using in a minimal arrangement with the piano exposed, there was noise that I didn't want after normalisation of the track. Turned out it came from the pedals, so the fix was easy, just turn down the pedal noise knob and it was golden. Probably that speaks to my misuse of the sustain pedal, and possibly also because I was layering piano parts.
Just lovely...emotion in a can
The imperfections in the sound add metric ton of character and emotion to this instrument. It's just lovely to play and write with. Reckon this is one that I'm going to be coming back to often, great work on this Cordaro. If I could change one thing, it would be to have the legato control be on a different controller, since out of the box it maps to expression which is usually volume (e.g. using the same controller as Spitfire's vibrato would be perfect for me)....but this could just be my personal foible and doesn't detract from what I think is a must have pianobook instrument!
Not what I was expecting
Based on the description, I was expecting something ambient or ethereal, but the sound here is something quite different, with a bold analogue/tape/synth sound....I really like it, it sounds great and a premium feel to it. Very useable. The different patches offer nice variations too.
The one thing I'd like to see is built in dynamics and expression to CC 1 and 11.
Nice sound, very usable
I have no complaints about the sound and the character of the guitar is really nice; I like the combo of the guitar and pad. Strong gui too, and I'm really happy to have built in expression control...it adds a lot.
It's a very useable instrument, definitely worth a download.
Nice sound
I like the sound of this, the pedal especially has good character with enough separation to be able to control it. The inclusion of dedicated swells is good: perhaps could be extended further with short/medium/long versions. I found the playability the biggest barrier for me; when trying to make some drone chords, either there are voices dropping out (the voice count is quite high), it the velocity is very sensitive compared to other harmonium instruments I've used.
