antler Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hybrid modelling... I seem to remember that TruPianos used that technique... and that doesn't need either 40 or 400 gb. If you want a great sounding (IMO) modelled piano, check out Pianoteq 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Sorrels Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I found a demo version of some of their stuff on vst4free.com Looking at the binary it claims to be using something called the CK Engine Quote Neo Piano is made with CK_Engine Click to contact the Programmer:Chris Kerry CK.Plugins@gmail.com Which I'm guessing is this: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=460229&start=45 So not Synthedit anymore. I'd still avoid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bohlen Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Well... looks like the CK_Engine/CK_Modules is now freeware: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=420936 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Sorrels Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 The modules I think are just Synthedit things. The "engine" was more a hand/manual conversion of Synthedit into a full C++ plugin. Maybe. Not sure it really matters, with Synthedit I prefer a total quarantine. It's the only way to be sure.

synthmeister Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Edit - CGR at vi-control recently picked up some Neo Pianos and was favourably impressed. https://vi-control.net/community/threads/2020-namm-show-sale-event-save-up-to-71-on-instruments-and-effect-plugins.89278/#post-4502768 Edited January 28, 2020 by synthmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesh Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Going against all medical, psychological, and moral advice, I went ahead and got Neo Piano/ installed it (18.4GB). There are 5 piano's included and the registration process is a bit of a pain (once the initial VST is installed, then I had to email the developer my machine ID that generated by the VST and then they sent me the 'key codes' for each instrument). Not being a pianist or very knowledgeable in pianos, I do like the sounds of each piano and they all have their own characteristics. The tones can be customized to suit your fancy, but generally not very bright (like the EZ Keys Grand). However, you can adjust that in the Key Dynamics section and make it brighter. The included reverb isn't all that, but then again I have some good reverbs in my toolbox. Overall, I'm happy with what I paid for this and will try to use it in a track....of course, it may not be your cup of tea or up to your standards. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm done with pianos. I don't need another rompler. Rumor has it synthedit will be rebranded to 64 bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
