But True Keys American's overall body sound is warmer and more firm than the Ravenscroft 275. Comparing with Ravenscroft 275, the Ravenscroft 275 has a clearer tone than True Keys American. This one sampled Steinway model D, which means it has worm body sound in the mid and low part. But it just sounds great and you can just open the VST and play right away without any tone adjustments. Also, it doesn’t have EQ settings so that you need an extra plugin if you want to maneuver EQs. As you can see the UI below, it looks very intuitive and doesn’t provide many options as you see in other sample libraries. I don’t know if this character is coming from the sampler or the VST itself, but for sure, its sound quality always exceeds the average sample sounds in the market. I can’t tell you clearly the difference of the sound compared to Kontakt samples, all pianos run by UVI workstation that I have used, has a very clean and expressive tone. I have some piano samples run on UVI workstation, I can surely say that this sample engine has a really unique expression. Online iLok account is all you need for the activation. For VI Labs products, you don’t need hardware dongle keys. It adopted UVI workstation as the sampler and you need an iLok account to activate and run it. It may satisfy your diverse piano tastes.

For those who are sick and tired of Ivory 2 piano’s sound, go grab one of VI Labs pianos. Like Ravenscroft 275 which I reviewed last time, it has a crystal clear tone and warm body sound. Steinway Model D was sampled for this VST and of course, its sound and expressions are amazingly captured.

Today I want to talk about True Keys American which is one of the True Keys piano series from VI Labs. This is pianist Keunyoung again with piano VST review. 7.4 (Volume 5 / Sound 8 / Body 9 / Response 8 / Dynamic 7) Other option including custom CC assignments and half pedal range settings for all functions offers a control level that judicious pianist will appreciate.*Rate : Aver. Re-pedal is a crucial function which is fully supported to blend the sustained tone and blur phases when the pedal is depressed and lifted quickly. The pedals in this piano need to be responsive to give precise control to the damper pedals for UnaCorda and sostenuto functions. These multidimensional vibrations have precise samples and scripts for all advanced resonance types. Both harmonic key pedal up and pedal down resonances in the Ravenscroft 275 VI are sample based and do not synthesize in a way.

Pedal down resonance will occur when all strings vibrate in unison to make an addition to the overall sustain. You will hear sympathetic resonance among keys related harmonically. It binds all notes as a single instrument. As a pianist, you need to know the sympathetic resonance aspects that occur in acoustic pianos and its importance in sustaining resolution of chords. You will have to load samples, activate or deactivate the microphones without unloading the samples. The world-class preamps and microphones are essential in all tones distant and diffuse, intimate and close, and brilliant or warm. You can decide to either use it individually or mix it in a way. The four-phased setup of microphones in this keyboard captures its unique voice accurately in exquisite detail. placement and selection different The of the microphone in and around this piano affect imaging and tonal aspects of the record. When you are doing a recording in the studio, you will enjoy having versatility options that will cover playing styles without the limit of a single primary tone. It possesses an abundant, gorgeous detail, crystal clear hammer attacks, staccato release trails, unique muted strikes, sample resonance, and lush UnaCorda leading to a realism level that an ordinary piano cannot obtain.

The control is similar to the modeled virtual piano, but it is entirely sample based. It also has a powerful script and engine control.
