Native Instruments NOIRE piano demo - Lots of playing! 

thank you and congratulations, i have no doubt you will enjoy!

Well to be fair Keyscape´s C7 is not a top noch sampled piano it doesnt even have proper release samples..Top pianos (at least for classical) are still VI Labs Ravenscroft, Garritan CFX, Ivory II, maybe also the VSL CFX just to name a few that absolutely make Keyscape sound like a joke.The electric pianos of Keyscape are gems! But the C7 is so limited in a lot of ways.

@@zenyklayi8748 I agree, Keyscape's Wurlitzer 140B makes my heart melt. I hardly play the C7 at all. What's most interesting for me is that the Ravenscroft has by far the smallest sample library of all the "big names". Especially the VSL grand pianos in comparison reside in the 80-100 GB range while Ravenscroft states somewhat around 5-6 gigs on their homepage.

@@JBrm Yes, i also love that Wurli and the CP80 also, regarding the small footprint of the Ravenscroft that proves that you dont need those huge libraries or vst´s to have an almost perfect Piano VST.But for me personally , the Garritan CFX is the best one, i even like the playability more in the garritan CFX than in Pianoteq, i cant stand the artificial sound of Pianoteq.When i sit on my Kawai Digital piano and listen to the Garritan CFX i get inspired every single time.(I own Keyscape, Ravenscroft ,Pianoteq Stage and Garritan CFX).

I have all native instruments pianos, I really like how the grandeur sounds, but the Keyscape's C7 sound much better when you play chords than the grandeur, actually I've never heard any kontakt piano sound as good as keyscape when you play chords, I don't know why, the grandeur sounds great when you play singles notes, but when you play a chord, there's something wrong.

full-time pro-pianist here and I picked "The Grandeur" in a blind test of 20 plus virtual pianos. I was totally surprised. I take their stuff more seriously now.

Les particules semblent utiliser la résonance harmoniques des cordes voisines, comme on peut l'entendre quand on accorde manuellement un piano véritable, cela m'est arrivé par le passé, et c'est un vrai plaisir sur un piano de tourner très légèrement une clé et entendre se développer ces harmoniques! Je suppose que l'idée vient de là? D'ailleurs dans le mail que m'a envoyé NATIVE aujourd'hui, ils expliquent que l'intérêt de ce piano Yamaha réside dans l'accordage très particulier qu'a souhaité ce musicien, et je le comprends comme ça, parce que j'ai toujours été envoutée moi-même par la richesse des désaccordages infimes des triplettes ou des doubles cordes qui font entrer dans un monde magique!. Il me semble que Keith Jarret faisait procéder de la sorte pour préparer son piano. En tout cas, je vais me procurer la démo, je viens de recevoir aujourd'hui mon clavier STUDIOLOGIC SL88, clavier FATAR studio, Ce Plugin me plaît beaucoup. J'ai un Jupiter 50 avec des pianos natural sound, mais ici, le son est juste ce que je recherche, une richesse incroyable. J'aimais déjà beaucoup le Unacord, mais si en plus il est livré avec? Le Unacord, c'est un peu le principe inverse, une écoute des harmoniques des cordes voisines à partir d'une seule vibration qui se développe!

hi cliff, thanks as always for the comment, yamaha teamed up with yamaha for a huge ad campaign for a uk retailer, pretty sure he's in their camp these days! it was just an tenuous excuse anyway to play some elton riffs :)

congrats, enjoy!

Usually the true colours of a piano library come out when you play a fast paced song with sudden switch to a slow paced one. The libraries that can't handle that "too much reverb" when we are playing a fast paced song, they just aren't meant to be played like that, which means? They aren't versatile. I feel Garritan's CFX is still the best out there, emotional songs, pop, rock, you name it. It sounds astonishing with amazing versatility. I've tried keyscape, I love the cinematic preset and also the Dark Score preset. They're lovely for creating emotional tracks. :) The noire does look good to me and looking forward to more reviews of this on RU-vid.

I love Garritan but only for stuff like Ghibli Studio piano stuff and such, I can't use it for pop because hearing the big size studio when playing longer notes bothers my ears too much. If you play some staccato short note atuff, some pop or funk or even some shorter note rock riffs, they sound good, but when you start playing with pedal, especially longer chords, you will hear the big size studio, and it will feel like you are playing a piano that switches places/rooms when playing shorter notes VS playing long sustain chords. That's a no-no to my ears at least, but for big hall piano sound Garritan CFX is one of the best that is still relatively reasonably priced (relative to the VSL pianos prices).

Yeah,he should turn it around,so we don’t have to look at him.

i guess we all play music because we enjoy it!

interesting factoid! thx for sharing :)

that's hilarious, but i'll take the compliment

it was! Saal 3 :)

Virtual piano yup but my tweaked headphone with no distortion can reveal lots of faux tonality. It's still not not as good, I must say Ming Freeman has nice demo.

It sounds good but still unnatural. Specially I hate those bell or dulsimer/harp like sounds in any of piano sound banks. Piano shouldn't have such a sharp attack. I hate it

thanks for the suggestion and glad you liked it, it's tricky with the placement as you have to think about depth of field and what's in focus in the reflection

He would appear smaller if the mirror was further away. next you’ll say that you’d like a square mirror.

I'd be interested in a comparison with the Keyscape C7 and Vienna Instruments Yamaha CFX, since they are all Yamahas, while as the Grandeur is a Steinway.

ouch, i love making eye contact in mirrors!

@@WoodyPianoShack Just a little humor Woody! - I very much loved this video and your demonstrations! Thank you! I bought this plugin because of your video :)

Congrats. I wish I had that sort of money. A model D, Juno-6, DX7, MiniMoog, CS-80, Prophet X. I do compromise with a Mac Mini and a 'smallish' monitor behind a GHA keybed or my moXF6. Be interesting to play a 'D' with a decent sized tablet on the music stand though.

That's probably the silliest reason I've ever heard. Put your keyboard off to the side and don't look at the computer screen. Problem solved.
