Insights from Real-World Use

Pianoverse Grand Piano Y7

  • Different spaces significantly alter the piano's tone and emotion, making a great difference.
  • A beautiful instrument played beautifully. I picked up Pianoverse at IK back in early Feb., downloaded the C7 edition a short while back. It's great that new piano editions are included in the package
  • I have pianos from Arturia, Native Instruments, Spectrsonics Keyscape, and now Pianoverse. I my opinion, I was blown away by pianoverse, quality, usable presets, super fast load times. I really don't
  • The studios sound really good, especially Vintage Studio 2.
  • I have Keyscape to load full samples from a SSD drive, and it can take 15-20 seconds. Pianoverse takes about 3-4 seconds from the same SSD and there is no decernable sound quality change in the second

Pearl Concert Grand

  • Wouldn’t believe it if you didn’t compare them side to side, but I definitely can hear more detail into Pearl Grand Piano samples than Keyscape ones! I’m so glad I purchased Pearl and not Keyscape, it
  • The Pearl Concert Grand has a lot more resonance compared to Cinematic Studio Piano, and sounds more alive & 3D to me
  • The Pearl Concert Grand has a lot more resonance compared to Cinematic Studio Piano, and sounds more alive & 3D to me
  • GREAT pedal handling, the best one, but totally dull sound with zero hardness / brightness or dynamic control for the classical and jazz pianists out there...
  • lower C.D.E.F.G samples really unclean and too hard.
