And I like it even more than Galaxy or Pianoteq. And NI´s 'The Giant' is a nice and special piano plugin! And comparing a hardware digital piano to a software piano plugin. Steinway maybe would produce a piano with smaller key size for. Is there somewhere else to download the sfz?

You have Kontakt, so why not trying Galaxy Vintage D? Pianoteq is nice, too, but it´s not sampled! The piano plugin I use mostly is Piano One, the great thing is the fact it is free! And I like it even more than Galaxy or Pianoteq, but it depends what I do, if I play classical stuff, I prefer Galaxy Vintage D, but also here it depends on what I play, if I play e.g. A Nocturne, I prefer Piano One again;) Yamaha P80 of course is way better than any plugin, although Yamaha uses samples, as well. Yamaha S90 has the best piano I ve ever heard! My list Galaxy Vintage D for Van Beethoven, Sonatas (Chopin), or Etudes (Chopin), Abdullah Ibrahim Rachmaninow Pianoteq Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Satie, Preludes (Chopin), Miles Davis, Roy Ayers Piano One Mazurkas and Nocturnes (Chopin), Mozart, Bach, Ludwig Schuncke, Pop and R&B, eletro (dance) & house, Stevie Wonder But when I play a Yamaha S90, these plugins do not exist any more for me!

And NI´s 'The Giant' is a nice and special piano plugin! And Kontakt´s Upright piano is not bad, either, but NI´s piano Grand series is not very good.

I've been chasing piano vst's for a while, and Piano One is pretty good. I have to play with the 'lid' settings (really, nothing more than high-end roll off) to keep it from sounding too sparkly. It's built off a Yamaha C7, and those things are bright enough in the natural world. Bigcat Instruments City Piano (is a freeware goodie sampled off a Baldwin grand, and it's formatted for VST, Kontakt, SampleTank and sfz. It sounds really good, but it's really sample intense. 4 velocity layers in round robin. It'll eat up your hard drive.

The piano plugin I use mostly is Piano One, the great thing is the fact it is free! And I like it even more than Galaxy or Pianoteq, Ok, cool. I'll have to try it out then. Can't beat free:) I was considdering Sample Magics other stuff as well. Anyone use it/like it? Yamaha P80 of course is way better than any plugin, although Yamaha uses samples, as well.

Ok, I thought the P80 was outdated, but you tell me it's better than most/all plugs? I really like the pedal-handling of it though, but I'm not over-enthusiastic about the total sound. But maybe that's the limitations of sampled pianos?

Galaxy Vintage D: I've heard much good about it. I'm after a well scripted piano, and the Salamander is just pure samples, or I'm I wrong? Hi G-Sun, as I go through this thread, I'm really confused about what your're looking for. When you talk about your Yamaha P80 and how it sounds, are you talking about how it sounds recorded into Reaper or how it sounds stand a lone, that is if it's self contained? For the most part I get along fine with Kontakts pianos however, I've got them from back as far as K2, but I don't think there's a lot of difference in them. If I was doing a major piano concerto, then it might be different story, but then if I was into that kind of thing I'd already have the best software I could find for it. Depending on what you're looking for, or what your point of reference might be, piano can be not only hard to find, but also deceiving unless you know exactly what you're looking for and why.:).
