Gambold agreed!

Some of the best samples in the library dont have XL option due to age.. would be nice for some new grand sample(s) though

Too many uprights. nice novelty, but seldom used in a practical sense.

Rhodes mediocre at best, the Nerfetti is about the best of the bunch

I actually like the layer pianos.. Very rich and deep sound. Selective use though

Dont really use the other sections so not in a position to comment.


Either way something new in there is certainly long overdue. The library idea is not a new concept now with others (eg Dexibell) jumping on the bandwagon so the better content within is going to be key.

I think Yamaha are due some updates themselves. They have been throwing around their ancient CF samples for years, the S6 and CFX being slightly newer samples in the ranges per the CP4 but not recent by any stretch.

Yamaha C6 Grand

I can get behind the grands, electrics and clav, but the rest is just window dressing.

Totally agree with Gambold (new), back again with humour and verve :
- Gds : yes
- Uprights : downrights
- Elecs : on the rhodes again and again, reactualize old samples.
- Digitals etc : take on me 200%
- Clav : 300%
-Harpsichord : Saturday night fever 400%

There is no need to retire anything. To reserve a bit of space on the download server and on the website costs nearly nothing.
Keep them all, and bring on new samples.

And, by the way, you've got at least one fan of the Chris Maene collection, these historical pianos are wonderful.

Perhaps Clavia should hire you as their new strategist. Care to send a job application?

Get a beer! :grin:

I think it's important for a company to phase out dated and relatively unused material - at least dump them in an archive section. Promoting the older and in many cases weaker samples for download suggests that the company isn't bothering to update them. Which in Clavia's case is too often the truth.


Consider that companies don't really know *all* the ways people are using their products.
