Re: New - Royal Grand 3D Piano
Thanks, i was looking forward to the sample too and just wondered if anyone had got any wind of more info from anywhere.
If the answer is indeed never, hopefully they may give us an XL Steinway D or the CFX instead sometime

Re: New - Royal Grand 3D Piano
Gambold, can I ask your thoughts on the Steinways from the Library. I find myself switching between them as i hear things in all that I like at times
I find the Lady D appears the strongest, with the most sustain and power, but the low octave sounds a bit strange somehow.
Concert Close sounds quite authentic but has much less body than Lady D
Ambient sounds very authentic in the lower octaves, then goes strange and chirpy (and unusable) in the mid to uppers

Re: New - Royal Grand 3D Piano
Hi Kirsty,
Just realized that the pink stuff you have behind you is just a cushion....I had always thought that you were wearing a big dress like the old ones in the 16/17th century and I had thought that it was really nice on your picture because it was looking like a Chopin or Litz concertist ....Ok, maybe I was too much into classic to imagine that...

Re: New - Royal Grand 3D Piano
Lady D is usually renowned as the "best" Steinway in the piano library.
Always keeping in mind that "best" makes little sense, if you don't specify your needs, tastes and amplification.
Different pianos will suit different genres and playing styles. Nord pianos are VERY sensitive to quality amplification.
Don't underestimate the internal equalization, it can work wonders on most samples.
Finally, do you really care if it's a Steinway or not? These are samples anyway, it's not like I can brag "Hey, I'm playing a Bosie!"
I just let my ear decide. Take what you like most, tweak it to suit your tastes, your amplification and the room, and enjoy.

This.
Pick the piano samples that work best for your style of music, amplification, venue and approach to playing. Forget the names. Also, don’t limit yourself to the grand pianos. Some of the uprights are amazing.
There have also been multiple discussions about the S, M, L and XL samples sizes. Don’t always assume you need the largest sample available.

Re: New - Royal Grand 3D Piano
Guys dont take my question as a complaint about the Nord Samples. I love my Nord for all it does and I'm not chasing a fully authentic Steinway sound, I know its never going to sound like the real thing.
I was just curious of thoughts of each sample, given they are all the same piano but sound and play very different. Ive read on here a hundred times people prefer the Lady D and wondered If there is only me that liked some parts of the other ones too.
My stage work more than often is playing to accompany one or sometimes two singers so being the only instrument. The Amplification we use is a pair of EV ELX 112's each with a ELX118 underneath. Not the most expensive kit ever, but it does the job for what we need in small to medium venues. The samples i use live are Lady D, Grand Imperial, Amber or Silver and the occasional Nerfetti
At home playing solo, i hear bits i like in all of them so I swap and experiment a bit.
On the samples in general, I have mostly M and L samples loaded (Silver is my only XL). I do love the Amber upright too.
