It has a somewhat limited application and isn’t for everyone, but if you specifically need a moody, vibey piano sound, the Soft Piano is the way to go. This is another plugin that is great for music production as well as sound design. Two sliders control the expression and attack, and there is a singular knob to control the amount of reverb.

The sound is very warm and subdued, so if you’re looking for a bright piano with a fast attack, you might have to look elsewhere. The samples were recorded with a felt-tipped piano and high-end Scheps microphones at London’s infamous Air-Edel studios. Soft Piano is a free piano sound library for the LABS workstation. Spitfire Audios LABS is a freeware virtual instrument in VST and AU plugin formats that comes with an extensive collection of freely downloadable add-on sound libraries. Versilian comes in VST and AU formats and uses minimal CPU resources.

The plug-in comes with onboard volume, panning, and reverb controls, and also offers direct control over the ADSR curve of the envelope with individual knobs. The articulation of your playing will really translate – and if you have a good enough MIDI controller, it can be almost as realistic as the real thing. 1 is an upright piano plugin that offers a tremendous dynamic response. If you need a versatile free piano VST that is easy to use, this offering from 99Sounds is well worth looking into. Pretty good tone, but my Young Chang that I bought 20 years ago, is just so perfectly recorded/sampled, and it utilizes a DSP block in my Kurzweil algorithm so that I can darken the tone using my Mod Wheel (not just a simple filter), I am so glad I have it.Upright Piano also features key release samples and envelope controls for adjusting the attack and release time. The Ivory II should be better than it is (I paid $149 for it). I just bought Ivory II (American Concert D) and Waves' Grand Rhapsody, too. Amber might be a bit too bright.įor serious piano recording, I still think my Young Chang Grand from Sweetwater (created for my Kurzweil) remains the best. The Amber model tends to be my favorite, but the others (Atlantis, Sapphire, Diamond and Emerald) can be interesting for various reasons.

I'm glad to have them to play around with. I had Amber from X3 Producer, and just added the other 4. I paid $90.30 for the additional 4 models. I bought the complete set of TruePianos about a month ago, and they honored a discount I had, I believe for being a Cakewalk X3 Producer owner. Thanks for all the helpful links, I should mention I'm looking to use it outside of Cakewalk, I would have used TruePianos already.
