Think the intro to Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again" minus the flanger they pumped the piano through. So to recap, my requirements were a bright sounding, stringy, Nashville type piano that is highly playable. Alright, you classical fans can stop laughing now So, to answer the question in the subject line, YES, YES,YES this piano DOES sound like the demos on Youtube and the manufacturer's site.
So first off, I'm a jazz pianist, not trained, horrible fingering but very adept at using the sustain pedal to compensate. This is just a VERY BASIC REVIEW, let's call it first impressions. I will certainly report back after playing around with my new toy for a few days!Īs promised my review of the Ravenscroft 275. So once again, thank you all for your advice and your experiences.
This should be a wonderful compliment to my other piano VSTi and round out my collection nicely! So, I'm gonna pull the plug and purchase this one and I have to admit I'm like a kid at Xmas time because I have been looking for this type of piano sound in a VSTi ( bright, clear, punchy and yet playable) for years and even with external processing (Waves, Ozone etc) was never really able to mimic it.
So I have my own project studio so the I have the monitoring system covered (MOTU Ultralite AVB interface, JBL, Genelec, Event monitors, AKG Q701/Sony 7506, ATH-M50x headphones etc. His hands literally float over the keyboard and it doesn't even look like he is playing the tune, although I know he is! Quite an interesting technique! Maestro1972, your clip sounds just like the demos at least to my ears! Thank you for posting that one! AllanH, I listened to that excellent clip and Dan's playing style is amazing. Thank you all so much for posting your impressions. Thank you so much in advance for any advice. If so, would you mind sharing your settings? So taking the Eric Griggs demo, for those of you that own the Ravenscroft 275, does it actually sound like this demo?Īlternatively, have any of you been able to tweak say Pianoteq or Ivory American D (or any Ivory piano) to sound like this? So right now American D and Pianoteq Steinway B are my go to for inspirational playing but no matter how much I tweak I can't get that "stringy, in your face" type sound that I am hearing with the Ravenscroft 275 at least from the demos. I'm using a Roland RD700 and a Roland RD 150 in my studio. Playability is extremely important, mostly repedaling to catch the strings and samples that don't die immediately when lifting off the key. Jazz pianist who likes the bright, Nashville sounding piano but not over the top.
