Very rarely am I tempted to venture beyond what my Stage 3 can do, but this is extremely interesting, especially the particle engine:

The particle engine is a type of sound I've been searching after for a while, I'm tempted to get it just to add those sounds to the Nord pianos. Has anyone tried this, or found a simpler way to get these kind of organic, piano-like ethereal sounds added in with a piano? I've definitely played with the synth section arpeggiator on RND with some of the samples, but I've never been able to achieve anything like what Noire sounds like.

yes! Agreed, I feel like my basic needs for grand and upright pianos are very well met. I'd love some more interesting stuff. The Chris Maene stuff was definitely a cool example, some very unusual piano sounds in there by modern standards. The put a CP-80 pickup in real piano and sampled it like 15 years ago, that was really cool. They're even venturing out with the vibes and marimbas, hopefully they'll keep adventuring out into more interesting territory
