I have the Stage version that came with my Keylab 88 and I really like it. If all you want is to play a nice-sounding and responsive piano that does not take up much hard drive space then it is an excellent choice. The acoustic piano choice for the "stage" version of Pianoteq includes the D4 and K2 models. I have also read that the "B" Steinway model is excellent, and it can be purchased as an add-on. I think that if I were to buy additional instruments I would probably get the electric instruments pack (Rhodes and Wurlitzer) before another acoustic model, though.Numanoid wrote:Why not go for PianoTeq ?Armadillo wrote:Perhaps the average person can't tell the difference between a deeply sampled piano and a GM piano if it's buried in a pop track, but for a solo classical piano piece I'm pretty sure they can.
I mean, why do we all keep buying newer and more expensive gear?
Honestly, as a bargain, I think the Keylab 88 package is an excellent deal when one of the online stores has a sale. Pianoteq Stage alone is $99.
