The Giant Piano Kontakt 6 Demo - NI Komplete 12 

Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoyed and yes The Giant is great.

Didn't expect to see you here, lol.

@@MoodyBeautifulAnimeandVGMusic well, this was when I was looking for a VST to experiment with. I mean, you already know of my addiction to other odd VSTs like Cinematic Soft Piano, haha

Thanks a lot Joshua! That's greatly appreciated.

Anytime Man ✌

Thanks a lot man! Glad you liked the content.

Thanks. Well, when you have an 88 weighted keyboard sitting around, you would use that to play a piano library I guess. I wouldn't buy Kronos just to use it as a midi controller though. There are far cheaper options with the same RH3 keybed.

Thank you GG. It’s been a while but I don’t think I used a preset worth saving. I may have added some reverb but that’s about it

Like a Giant!

Glad to hear that. Happy to have you here

Yes, The Giant is a very bassy piano...which is probably why it's called The Giant?

I was reading about it on The Keyboard Corner forum. Man the full version is like 250 gig just for another piano library. I would much rather use that space for Orchestral libraries. I'm not thinking about it at the moment, but you never know.

Hi Kim. It’s not an actual song. Just an improvisation

@@InTheMixReviews Good job :)

Not sure how your sound is different. It's been a long time since I've uploaded this video. I don't remember what settings I've tweaked unfortunately.

@@InTheMixReviewshello the low notes are much too intrusive, it sounds much too loud and produces a slightly too velvety back sound and the highs its too dry for example if I press too hard it will make a really sharp and a little unpleasant noise while you when you play hard in the treble it really makes a beautiful piano sound

@@deineospiano4972 Yes, this is a VERY bassy piano which is probably why they called it 'The Giant'. I wouldn't consider this library as a general purpose piano. It has a special tone and place. I looked up your videos, and if that's the type of video/music that you're working on, I highly recommend Noire from NI. In any case, to answer your question if you're not using this piano for a special purpose, you gotta watch out the velocity especially on the lower register to avoid getting that boomy sound. Same thing with the higher register. It takes some practice to get used to the feel.

@@InTheMixReviews ok thank you very much, one last question. I also play a lot of Chopin, the noire of native instrument is also good for classical music ?or you find another virtual piano ? ps; you improvise very good!!

@@deineospiano4972 Yes it's a good piano for that purpose indeed. Also check out Signature Grand (Steinway piano sample library). I used it for my latest Russian Piano piece called The Lark.

That name sounds familiar. Is that the dude who stares at the camera while playing?

@@InTheMixReviews Yes lol

Just watched one of his videos. Hilarious!

Based?

If you’re a pianist and use to heavier keys, you’ll enjoy most piano libraries more of course. With that said, you can totally play the library to the fullest if you’re used to your keyboard. In general a heavier action gives more control over dynamics

@@InTheMixReviews thank you very much, I buy not Giant, but NOIRE vst, I am totally in love with those sounds and I play quite well with a Nord Electro 4, I do not have hammered keys, but it's good enough to play with pleasure and are good sounds! Thank you!

@@borromini_music Glad to hear you're happy with Noire. Yes, it's a very good piano. Congrats!

It’s not an actual piece but just a spontaneous improv. It’s not something that is published anywhere or based on an existing piece. You can call it a pop/classical fusion

@@InTheMixReviews You should record it. Great work.

You can’t really compare them that way. They sound very different.

In The Mix Then which do you prefer or find yourself playing more often?

@@brandonlovestech454 For live performance, I don't bother with sample libraries at all. For recording purposes, I find sample libraries a lot more convincing.

If you're only recording virtual instruments, having an audio interface will not contribute to the quality of the recorded audio, because everything happens within your DAW. It will however provide you with a much better headphone output, and also line outputs to be connected to external monitors/speakers, especially if you're on a pc computer. I'm not familiar with Scarlett Solo 3rd gen, but generally all recent audio interfaces that are compatible with the latest OS should handle the task . If this particular audio interface supports the latest OS and all that, then you should be fine. They come with a low latency ASIO driver.

@@InTheMixReviews thanks for your answer !

@@alpay389 Any audio interface, even the cheaper ones,would give you much less latency than what your inbuilt soundcard on your computer will. In your case, I believe the Scarlett Solo would be fine.

If your NI Piano library has only one velocity layer, you should get in touch with the tech support ASAP. I own all their pianos and never experienced this problem!

​@@InTheMixReviews No, the problem is not the velocity layers, nor the NI library. Even with several layers in a single key, if a person play at the same level, it will trigger the equivalent layer, and the sound would be the same. On an acoustic piano, EVEN if you play the same key with the same intensity, every time the sound will be a little different, there are certain variables which change each time a key is pressed, like the waves travelling on the string on very different positions and directions accordingly with the sound and acoustic inside the instrument. An electronic piano would have to have more than 127 ways to express a simple key touch and every time, would be different, not only 5 or 7 layers per key.

@Dihelson I’m a pianist and been playing and recording acoustic pianos for over 30 years. If I were to blind test you with multiple recordings, you’ll have many wrong guesses. I can assure you that would be the case! Aside from that It’s rather basic knowledge that no library can actually replace the real thing. For thousands of applications you wouldn’t want to use a real acoustic piano anyways. There’s no one rule that applies to everything. You could potentially have an acoustic piano that is unusable for many mechanical reasons as well

Nameless spontaneous improvisation

Sorry, I do not.

@@InTheMixReviews okayyy

Nothing. All Giant effects.

Thank you Adi. It doesn't have a name. It's an improv...

@@InTheMixReviews wow lol
