You do realize that with EZkeys you can enable MIDI out in the VST, mute the internal piano audio, and use any other piano VST in your DAW as the target sound generating module. Only necessary to buy the expansion sounds if you really like them. ;)

yeah. i have been using it that way. works well. but i have been also checking out some of the sounds and they do actually have some good sampled sounds. this is from the Studio Grand which was released in 2015 I think.

That sounds good! But I'm winging it with just the EZkeys Upright Piano.

Maybe I'm spoiled but I also have the Arturia Piano V3, the XLN Addictive Keys Studio Grand, the Waves Grand Rhapsody, and numerous pianos in NI Komplete and IK SampleTank MAX. I particularly like the NI Noire and Una Corda. Too many options already! ;)

EZkeys has such huge potential but for some reason Toontrack seems to have neglected it!

Per the EZkeys release notes, the last update was to v1.3.3 on March 15, 2022.

Just guessing that Toontrack are probably working on the next major update. The current EZkeys lacks a VST3 plugin and an updated GUI, so a major version update could bring it in line with their other EZbass and EZdrummer 3 products. Don't see any reason for them not to do that, as they are still releasing expansions and MIDI for EZkeys.

Yeah. I have been using it for song structure ideas using Halion SE piano and the Alicia Keys NI piano. But I am really liked the sound of the Small Upright that Toontrack have.

Yeah, when I picked up EZkeys I chose the upright because I was already up to my eyeballs in grands and the upright had a nice sound, so good for a change!

But I will add that Arturia did a rather nice job with the uprights collection in the new Piano V3. :)

That’s a great price indeed, as low as it gets, and it’s still there. Not for me though as I’m one of those suckers who got them all (except that EDM one I’ve got no use for).

It’s still there at Thomann, Zo, but I guess they’ll charge you TVA in Europe.
