Product Reviews by KVR Members

An excellent attempt to bring a really broad, good quality electric/electronic piano simulation to non Logic users.

The sounds are excellent and I certainly have had no problems using this VSTi.

The only reason for giving the VSTi 9 for the user interface is one of personal taste, it would be nice to turn the text part on or off, rather than having a lot of text always visible. This certainly isn't an important criticism as it does provide a wonderful interface while editing sounds (which obviously is of greatest importance)

God I love this synth. It really is as good as everyone says and I can understand its continued popularity.

If you want a decent Hammond emulation you really can't go any further than this plugin. It has the sound, and is perfect for almost any kind of music (though I cannot really imagine it for more electro oriented styles) and so is really worthwhile obtaining.

This really is a great VSTi, it has such a distinctive sound. While it is a bit confusing to program compared to FM or analog, it is certainly worth the effort.

The presets are magnificent and would provide most of us with a wealth of interesting/unusual sounds. So even if you don't want to get into programming the thing, it is still worthwhile.

An excellent free VSTi which really does what it says in the name; emulates pianos. While the sounds cannot compare to a huge multisampled monster, they sound quite natural and with a bit of inventive mastering, they fit well in a mix.

While it has to lose some points on the manual score, it doesn't really have one, you don't need one. It is so simple to use.

Excellent for what it says it does; emulate the Rhodes sound. In that sense it is excellent but perhaps a bit limited. (Certainly not a EPStation)

It sounds good, is simple to use, very stable... Go and Download it.

Could mda please put a front end on this thing, even something as bland as that on the mda piano would be an improvement.

Sorry but this VSTi doesn't cut the mustard. What is it, a promo tool to convince Cubase users to purchase Logic? After all if they are really interested in broadening the appeal of their product, then they msut sell THE SAME PRODUCT as what is available to their Logic customers.

Do not touch this VSTi, purchase EP-Station or download the mda epiano.

Well for a VSTi in such an early stage of development this looks really promising, especially now the major stability problems have been fixed.

Similarly, it is quite easy to use and really should be considered a most download.

Full marks go to the developer for their request regarding paying for the thing. Now the bugs are gone I will donate to an NGO as requested.

This really is pretty good. Ths sound is realistic compared to my SBLive so full marks on that level. While the CPU load is moderately heavy (which should really be improved) for the price I suppose you can't expect much more.

In fact the VFM is the only real issue I have with this VSTi. When you consider the price compared with the Virtual Sampler etc, it would be a lot better if it were multi-timbral. As it is so easy to use (and you don't need Sampling capabilities when using Soundfonts, that is what Vienna is for) for the money, if the thing was multitimbral, it would be a much better investment.

This really is a brilliant synth (particularly for the money). While I was a little doubtful at first, I found that this is one of the best synths around for really interesting pad sounds.

While there is a lack of presets, this vsti is so easy to use it really isnt't a problem.

Over all a brilliant VSTi, however, the way it integrates in Cubase is a little unusual. While there is no problem with the way in which it does integrate, it would have been easier to get to grips with the synth if it plugged in similar to the Native Instruments B4 etc (which are also stand alone programs as well as VSTi).

While the interface is not what I expected, I have come to realise that it is very functional in its own way. Okay, so you have to alt-tab to make changes, you still get another mixer, within which it is possible to plugin effects, and access to the full editing of multitimbral synths. It really is wonderful.

The availability of patches from user support pages are wonderful and certainly demonstrate the versatility of this synth.

The other important point to make about this VSTi is the incredibly small CPU usage. I was very impressed by the results.
