PavlovsCat Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) I'm on my phone and I couldn't get the audio files to play. But the description for Keyboard in Blue sounds irresistible to me. I must hear it ASAP! Piano in Blue is an amazing sounding piano library to my ears. The fact that they referenced that in the name --- my expectations are through the roof. This could be a let down. What do those of you who've heard the demos think? Im getting a coffee and will check it out in several minutes. Edited November 17, 2023 by PavlovsCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't grabbed any of the pianos (I have way too many, and was set on never installing another one unless it was Keyscape or Ravenscroft), but I don't like any of my upright libraries. Anyone recommend any of the Musio pianos? I have not heard much about any of them. EDIT: I guess I could spend a half hour downloading them all. So lazy.

PavlovsCat Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Update, it sounds very nice, not amazing or even treated in any way that gives me that Piano in Blue vibe, which is what I was expecting. It's tone/sound reminds me of Fracture Sounds Blueprint Electric Keys -- which is free and incredible, IMO, everyone should pick it up (and no, I don't know the developer and never actually purchased anything from them yet, but they're definitely on my watch list after picking up two excellent free KONTAKT libraries) -- but Electric Keys sounds far better to my ears.

Vernon Barnes Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I just had a play with Keyboard in Blue. Its a bit of a one trick pony compared to a lot of Kontakt EPs, but because the amp has be sampled rather simulated which makes a very natural, nice tone. Its very responsive with good dynamics. I probably would not have purchased it but I am very happy to have it in the Musio subscription. If there is a Kontakt version it may be more versatile, I can't say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Keyboard in Blue is not on the same level as Piano in Blue. That one’s pretty unique, as it’s the grand played on Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue and Glenn Gould’s second Goldberg Variations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear the demos and think, how the F did they get it so close to that Kind of Blue vibe. No doubt, there's a ton of nostalgia to that sound for a lot of us. Keyboard in Blue didn't really have any of that kind of vibe to my ears. I thought it might have the same tape, preamp and effects sound to it. It really doesn't come across in the demos. It sounds very nice, but not fitting of the "In Blue" branding. Edited November 18, 2023 by PavlovsCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husker Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Musio has really turned out to be one of my best investments. Was one of the lucky ones who got in on the lifetime $499 deal, and they really have delivered thus far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Fowler Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Is the Musio version of Keyboard in Blue different from the old Kontakt library? I have the old version and think it's great - def not a one trick pony - so am wondering if the Musio offering is missing some of those features.
