My Desert Island Piano VST - VI Labs Modern D

johanibraaten

Pete14 Perhaps this goes without saying, but Pianoteq does offer this “minor” detail, and I’m not 100% certain, but it might even allow note-per-note control over partials & fundamentals (perhaps one of you could check for this?)

It does (in the pro-version).



Infinito

Oh my god! I will buy it instantly. Was waiting for this for a long time...

Never liked Ravenscroft.

I am a proud user of Modern U already, with that, this one, and keeping my Bosendorfer in PianoTeq I have the end game (With VPC1)

Such a great day!


David Lai

Infinito I'm very happy for you! I think they've really done it with the Modern D. And it's a great piano for productions as well as for practice.


Pete14

Infinito Oh my god! I will buy it instantly. Was waiting for this for a long time...

But won’t you at least give it a “test drive” before committing?

Surely, VI-Labs must offer a 30-day free trial?

Pete14 Hi Pete. If you're didn't get the memo already, there's a thread I hope you'll read before returning here and posting daydream-like posts, thanks.

Sadly no demo version. None of the piano libraries I’m most interested in have trial versions (Premier Kawai Legend, Garritan CFX and Ivory 3).

Deflection, a common strategy……”look at the other hand, Pete.”

But thank you for your “non-answer,” because now I know that VI-Labs doesn’t offer a free trial, but do you know who does? 😁

Okay, I’ll see you at “the other thread,” for it seems like my objective perspective is no longer welcome ‘round here!

Nope, not here. You've been digressing, and introducing a synth into the thread. I'm only moving discussion topics to related threads. So, have a good read there before you post, as your default position is known well by me, and I don't want to hear another praise of PianoTeq from you! Read it my concerns, listen to the video, and bask in the synthetic qualities of this "piano" sound. You're welcome!

David Lai and I don't want to hear another praise of PianoTeq

pianoteq is great and it sounds identical to real acoustic pianos, and i need a doctor RN


David Lai

pianow LOL, it's alright… I'm tired of blind PianoTeq worship and dreaming, too. I'm glad we have more beautiful sounds to listen to on the likes of Modern D. And the almighty acoustic itself, which you can find in performance halls and professors' studios.

yup, but in some demos i find it to be a little hard in some areas, it reminds me of vsl 280vc in those particular demos with more openness (the 280vc is very boxed in)

although it wasn't what i expected to hear (based on other American Ds I've heard and played) but it was quite interesting and i think it has something to do with the actual piano never being used before, it's brand new

i liked the roundness a lot, it sounds like every steinway I've heard in that regard, the first thing that hits your ears is not the sharp partials but the actual fundamental frequency that's both percussive and rounded, it's beautiful, these kinda pianos are excellent for most arrangements including what i do.


David Lai

pianow True. Well, this D uses the new Renner action, like their Hamburg members. So the clarity is, I think, because of that.

After playing with this new Modern D for a couple of days, it has quickly become my most favorite VI. Its playability and sound are simply amazing. I'm so thankful to enjoy playing this virtual instrument with my N1X. 🙏

God Bless!



David Lai

jenpal Very happy for you!!! Did you have to build your own curve?


David Lai

Mindbullets Yes, almost an hour. This is something special!!!


pianow

Mindbullets

this guy's fantastic, he explained everything that i needed

and then David's playing videos, vi labs knows how to introduce/present a piano


David Lai

pianow I've quickly become a fan of Charles! His arrangements are really cool. That first piece you hear in the trailer video (and that which closed it as well) is from his arrangement of the famous Mission Impossible theme.

woah, i should listen to it again then, thanks for the reply🤍
