Purely Inspiring
The night I downloaded this instrument, I wrote a piece of music solely using it, and the result really hit me hard. This instrument is indeed impressive.
The sound gives me a lot of inspiration. It has a rich warm sound below F4 (I’m using Fl Studio), which was just like a PCM synth E-Piano (like what those old Roland devices may have), while those above C5 sounded pure and clear, like something between an E-Piano and some marimba thing. Also, somehow the instrument reminds me of water drops. I can even imagine some game scenes hearing the sound. It’s the perfect one.
Also, the GUI... I will not be surprised if it turned white. You guys know what I’m talking about.
By the way, the chorus control is best to be set at 0.32 and the release at 0.78 to me. You can also set the release to somewhere at the top to imitate a sustain pedal.
I’m composing for an independent game currently, and this instrument will be sure to appear in my tracks. Thank you Calico!--Edited at 04/15/2023--
This instrument deserves to be honored as a true Pianobook Gem. I have used this instrument in several tracks and it never turned me down. The clear water-crystal-y sound makes it stand out among a number of synth E-Pianos in my sample pack database. This is the most IMPRESSING instrument I have ever met in Pianobook for its simplicity and distinctiveness.
A Pro
So I don't need to waste my dollars and my HDD space on those large-sized Kontakt piano instruments now. This is indeed a Pianobook Gem.
Instantly Fall in Love with It
Rich and clear. As soon as I hit the keys I found an unbelievable synth pad pack. Despite its small size., it produces a big cinematic sound. It's like something between a brass ensemble and a pipe organ, meanwhile it keeps the character of a synth pad. Good job Keith!
Brilliant Characteristics
This sample pack gives a real old nostalgic feeling. It sounds so great when I replaced a grand piano pack in one of my projects with it. It sounded like a piano recording that had been carefully preserved for decades. Really impressing.
Handy
Simple but effective. It gives me the impression of a 'standard' FM E-Piano and it can be used anywhere I need one. And it does can. Also there are not much GUI controls in the DS version but that's what I like. It does not need more.
