  • It sounds good but I did'nt have the time to compare with the pianoteq MKI-II-W1 pack so I'm not sure for the "best in the world". But I'll update to 8 anyhow.

  • when you get freaky with FX, there are a lot of sound design possibilities.
  • Seconding this. The Stage 73 has become my go to for electric piano and Rhodes sounds. I believe Arturia is having a big sale on their v collection bundle which
  • Arturia's Stage-73 V is another strong contender with excellent presets and a friendly and flexible layout, while the Session Keys Electric S offers some clever
