Could be really good. 15MB download - sample based. CPU usage is 2-10% depending on # notes played (P4 2.4 1.5GRam XP)

Pros:
* Has pretty choice sound - think of a modern electronic honky tonk piano. Clavi-ish piano.... Strong mid-hi range harmonics without too much ear strain. It currently suits a digital sounding mix.
* Really nice sustain - it follows a very nice acoustic sounding resolution curve.
* Stereo - few pianos properly sample / model the fact that playing low notes means stronger left signal, and hi notes means stronger right signal. This does it very nicely
* Nice photo

Cons:
* Could do with more low range harmonics, slightly cut midrange - if you were after a vintage acoustic piano disco smile type mix
* Too much attack - ideally attack would decrease as velocity increases. However attacks great as is at upper and lowermost octaves, but not good at midrange where it also has a lot of bell / sawtooth sting.
* Release: the most noticable thing is how quickly the note off release is. It sounds very synthy - unless played with the sustain pedal. And if you play repeated notes with the sustain they attenuate the preceeding ones way too quickly.
* No patches or adjustable parameters, such as AHDSR or dampen. Cant custom assign midi controllers for events eg. change the channel of sustain pedal (on default atm).

All in all its a good effort and free. Itd be loved by people used to good but vergin on artificial sounds, but probably not by acoustic/vintage warmth lovers as it stands.

Cheers
