Yes I kinda here what you're saying but the bottom line is both are aiming to provide realistic and playable piano sounds to be used in either studio recordings or live and should be evaluated on how well they do this?rtucker55 wrote:I own both ERG and PianoTeq 4 pro. I really don't think it would be accurate to make a direct/general comparison between the two as ERG is sample based and PianoTeq is modeled. Plus, PianoTeq 4 Pro will set you back around $500, more if you want add-ons.
I also find Evolution Rosewood Grand to be extremely playable!
I don't want to knock PianoTeq as what they've managed to produce from modelling is simply amazing!! With every update it keeps on getting better and if it keeps on improving at this rate I'm sure one day it will catch up and maybe overtake sampled libraries. At the moment though I just feel it doesn't match the realism of some of the sampled libraries out there.
