Truepianos 1.9.5 Full
Florene Franca
This is an excellent review, in my opinion, of the True Piano VSTi technology. While my own understanding of how it actually works from a technical perspective is rather limited, I am much more interested in the hearing, testing, and comparing the sound and tone production of electronic piano technology such as True Pianos as it relates to the quality of authentic piano realism. As a pianist who is passionate about the enduring and superior quality of an acoustic grand piano tone compared to anything electronic, it takes alot to convince me that advancing piano tone technology has even yet come close to creating a product comparable to it's acoustic counterpart, where tone and adequate resonance is concerned. I have listened to various samples of the True Piano demo, and my conclusion is that I am rather optimistic indeed, that a tool like this affords us a much greater example of an "authentic copy of the real" evidenced here in this unique product. I'm sure many pianists like myself would be glad to try this product without feeling like they were compromising the quality of sound, timbre, and musical texture a real acoustic piano affords. Given all the varied components you had to address in this VSTi, Brother Charles, I felt you gave a rather convincing review to any keyboard player, or pianist out there, that True Pianos is a must have addition to their electronic collection!
Hi, because of yours and one other review, I tried truepianos. I was very happy with it and decided to buy it. However - I am a student and getting the student discount seems to be impossible. After asking for it 3 times without even getting as much as a reply, I have almost given up on that. However a few days ago, I decided to give it yet another try.
I like their software and I also like to support developers who write great software but there has not been a update since 2012 which does not indicate a very active development and alongside with not getting an answer to my mails that certainly does not leave a great impression.
I am certainly not going to pay full price for a software after having gotten such a great taste of their customer care and not being sure whether or not development is still active.
Now - what are my options? Either I pay full price (which I will never do for the reasons explained above) or I just continue using what I have or I might even pay for a competitiors product.
I just hope that someone from Truepianos sees this and realizes that losing potential customers this way is unnecessary and stupid...
I recently delved into the modelled piano technology with a visit to the local music shop and tinkering around with the Roland V-Piano. Then I tuned to both TruePianos and Pianoteq for comparison. While they each have their strong points, I quality/cost of the TruePianos suite is an outstanding investment. I use the Atlantis module for solo, Diamond for Jazz quartet, and Sapphire to cut through in a mix. The CPU overhead is great and the responsiveness using both a Roland MKB-1000m and Yamaha CP-80M controller is great. I personally can't see much room for improvement with future upgrades, but look forward to perhaps more individual note scaling as found in the V-Piano. Then again, for the difference in price between the two, I am happy to stay with the TruePianos package I have now!
