Good Piano-sound

I need a good piano-sound. For example: is "The Grand" good ? Would be great if someone could give me some hints.

Hi Westerling! Download my "Mahoney - Armageedon Man" from remix.kwed.org ... that's the Grand. Good? Well, I personally think it lacks something in the mid-section. But, it's a lot better than I'd ever be able to record myself!

You can check out my Zoids Revisited, that's Bosendorfer 290 from EastWest on the middle part. My "playing" is awful of course since I can't really play the piano or synths, but the sounds are pretty ok IMHO.
You should check out the new Native Instruments Akoustik Piano too.

Hi Westerling.
The best piano sounds I have heard on VST are 'The Grand' (so named due to it's price?!
) and the one in the 'Edirol Super Quartet' (which I tend to use more often - The Grand is a bit clunky)...
To be honest, once in a mix, there isn't much between them

Thanks guys!
I´ve listened carefully to everything you suggested and I think I´ll go for something called "Steinberg Virtual Instrument Collection". The Grand is in there. The Grand may not be the best sounding (although very good), but it is most piano per $.

I agree. I´ll be using the piano mostly for fattening up the bass registry. I won´t be using the piano for solos so The Grand it´ll be!

The Karl Werk Projekt's "The Human Race" features a long piano section done with The Grand.

Don't remember, beside the fact i modified the curve of the attack.
Also, i added a lot of "megaverb" from the powercore.
And yes, it's a real CPU hog.

I think it 1.2GB in the DVD.
I don't know what's there in the DVD but if there are only samples and they all need be loaded in memory, it needs a 2GB RAM config...

Nah - it streams the samples in... I've only got 1gb of RAM & it works fine with me
There are also a number of options to reduce the CPU load, but even then, it's still a real CPU porker.
