Well, it does. In every regardwagtunes wrote:Hard to imagine, because I think 5 sounds better than every sampled piano that I have. In fact, it's the only piano I use when I want a "real" piano.

Sustained notes with damper intermingle in the right way, sympathetic resonance works well, half pedaling is spot on. I'm amazed they're able to do all of this in about 100MB.
Highly recommended.
Listening and playing are two very different things!aMUSEd wrote:I love the improved Vibe, especially the B model sounds miles better to me, and the Glock is amazing.BBFG# wrote:Comparisons are kind of a mixed bag for me here.
I do like the improved pianos & clavinet in 6.
At first listen though, I lean more toward 5 for the W1 bright & vibraphone.
Sometimes 'clarity' can sacrifice the bite, bark or growl I love in a good electric.
Ok, thanks. Just a tiny bit higher for the US, we don't have to pay VAT though.Keith99 wrote:Bottom of this page under Upgrades: https://www.pianoteq.com/buypekbro wrote:Where do you see that price, the upgrade is listed at $190 from what I can see.Keith99 wrote:Excellent, I really like 5 so this is probably a no brainer.

Actually it is quoted in Euros not dollars
I see what's happening - the new tuning page seems to no longer include the old '88 notes scale' keymap. All the patches not opening properly used that one.aMUSEd wrote:One possible bug - some of my patches I saved with microtunings are opening with the keyboard no longer mapped across all octaves. It seems to be opening the tuning but not the same keyboard map for some files.
Agreed ED. I used to shy away from the D and K models and stuck to the Bluthner and Grotrian. Now I have a hard time choosing which to play: sometimes one makes me happier than others. They also tweaked the stereo field too. It feels a lot more like I'm sitting at a piano, at least for the Prelude presets.EvilDragon wrote:Well, it does.
