Back to Product Information

Sound: NI products always sound terrific. Feature: Not a lot of bells and whistles needed or provided. However, for an electric piano synth, it's unusual, and very nice, to have the clavinet included. Ease of Use: Very straightforward. However--and this is the main reason I wanted to write a review--don't even try it if you've only got a Windows system with 512 RAM. That's given as the minimum requirement, but don't be misled. It needs 1024 RAM, unless you want to use the very few voices that are designated as "small" or "medium" sizes, but then it's not worth the price. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I don't think that NI's claim of 512 RAM is entirely honest, and perhaps the only reason to include lower quality "small" and "medium" voices is to be able to increase sales by claiming that it can be used with 512. Quality: Does what it does as well as you could want. Value: Worth the price in my opinion. If you don't want NI quality, there are cheaper ones. Manufacturer Support: The activation process described in the documentation in my product is no longer supported, and if you don't have your music computer online, the activation process is cumbersome compared to most other companies. NI's activation procedure is getting out of control. The Wow Factor: My opinion, if you've tried an NI product or two, you'll want their other products. They always sound so rich and good.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: sounds absolutely fantastic! Feature: well, not a lot to tweak, but then again it's a simulation of a simple type of instrument Ease of Use: samples take a long time to load but other than that it's easy Quality: very, very nice plugin. very authentic sound. Value: kinda pricey for what it does, but if you need a virtual electric piano this is the best one anywhere! Manufacturer Support: never needed it. The Wow Factor: very attractive. i'd buy it a drink if i saw it at a bar. Overall: hands down the best electric piano emulation.
