It's fully physically modeling, right? I've heard mostly good things about it also, but as one of my weak sides are that I can't settle with the "standard", or "stage" in this case, and I think the pro version is a bit expensive for my taste Which version did you go for?īut a really good reason for choosing Pianoteq is of course it's still being developed I've heard about Pianoteq 5, but never tested it. At the end I bought Pianoteq 5 because it sounds better in comparison to TruePianos and it is still developed. After Reason 9.5 supported VST's the first thing I did was testing some Pianos especially TruePianos and Pianoteq 5. The piano consists of five modules, The downside is that it hasn't been developed in 5 years or so, but it's still one of the best sounding pianos I know of. It's a really great sounding hybrid piano, which combines physical modeling synthesis and samples. It's usually 120 USD, but sometimes on sale for 95 USD. I'm not trying to insult anyone here, simply pointing out there's higher quality, without question, products available in the world for discerning people. I've personally used the Grand Piano options in Kontact for years and they're drastically better than anything on offer for Reason either stock or RE. The Waves Grand Piano, especially if it's still $29 is light years better than Radical Piano or Reason Pianos. I use Keyscape's Yamaha C7 grand, and the difference is so striking that Reason Pianos now sounds and feels to me like a 90's ROMpler piano patch.Įxactly. I have Reason Pianos, and it just doesn't feel satisfactory when playing soft material. There are plenty of other VSTs in that price range, like Addictive Keys Studio Grand ($89, or free with certain Focusrite/Novation products), Acousticsamples C7 is about $130 or so, etc. Waves' Grand Rhapsody is $29 right now Pianoteq Stage is $129 (just a little more than you'd pay for Radical Pianos) and is one of the standard VST pianos. Reason Pianos and Radical Piano are pretty good sounding, but I think for the money you can get something "better" with VSTs.
