Edirol SuperQuartet is a fundamental foundation of my softsynth rack. My main use of SuperQuartet is for the electric piano sounds. I evaluated nearly all the electric piano softsynths out there (except Lounge Lizard - for some reason they don't offer a demo version) and found I liked this one the best. So I bought it!

Obviously, I'm very happy with the electric piano sounds generated. The acoustic piano sounds are pretty decent, too, although I hardly ever use them. And, ironically, 3/4 of the functionality of this program - the guitars, basses, and drums - is totally wasted on me. That's right - I felt it was worth the money just for the Rhodes imitation.

Two words of caution. First, every once in a while, SuperQuartet demands that you insert the setup CD into your CD drive. Boy, I really hate copy protection. It's very irritating to be rehearsing (or worse, playing a gig in front of a thousand people) and have to stop and put a CD in your PC. Second, the DXi version saves a huge amount of performance data to its host application - something like 200 kB. I can't imagine what it's saving, but it means my forte rack files are several megabytes, since there's one save for each song my band plays.

Note, these annoyances are in version 1.00, which is what I've been using. I just now found out there's a version 1.5 update available. The single output limitation mentioned by Midiworks2 in his review has been removed in version 1.5, according to Edirol's readme file.

nuff said by all the reviews, only one important thing to say :

in logic the sounds and the setup of this plugin will NEVER be stored within the song. you have to store the whole performance data before shutting down the song and load it manually again once recalled the song.
this is the behave with ALL edirol plugins.

SHAME ON YOU, ROLAND.

A really interesting VSTi, nothing to do with the Canvas !

Interestig concept, CPU load is high but still OK
You get a lot of good to great and usable sounds.

Again thank you Roland for just 1 STEREO out !
If some roland guys read this:

"I will not buy any multitembral VSTi that does NOT suport at least a couple of outputs!

There are piano, bass, guitar, drums modul, all out of a stereo out. Its really a shame. Otherwise this VSTi would be very usable.

see ya

I like this program a lot. There are a lot of variations of electric and acoustic pianos that sound really good. The drums sound terrific as well. I like the format of being able to tune each drum and have control the effects on each drum with aux sends. I do real guitar and bass tracks on all my music, so the bass and guitar voices aren't all that important to me, but they really do sound awfully good. Compared to programs like Sampletank, there might not seem to be a lot of bang for the buck, but I like this plug-in anyway. The sounds are top notch and the tunable, separately reverbable great sounding drums are exactly what I need for a lot of the tunes I do. The basic acoustic piano sounds as good anything, and there are a lot of great electric piano voicings.
