Some may think these are a little pointless, but this is not the case at all. Though it is probably not the case that each instrument has exactly the same controls as the original (I suspect), the controls do seem to be appropriate to the keyboard in question.Ħ] There are toy pianos. They all have appropriate function dials that alter the sounds in a way that is consistent with the original sound, so your not just stuck with a two dimensional sound. They are meticulously recorded and are responsive and epxressive.

If you were to be hyper critical then ytou can sometimes nbotice that a particular character is 'layered in' rather than being a fully integrated part of the three dimensional sound, but you would have to be listening close and have very picky, skooled ears. I don't own any of the original instruments, but I do feel like I am playing the real thing when I play them. I own a few Hammond VSTs plus a real Hammond A100 -frankly no VST comes that close, but the NI B4 comes closest IMO.ĥ] The electrical mechanicals are the BIG thing about Keyscape, they have the nuances that are often rinsed out of digital emulations. This is more of a top quality studio engineers piano collection than a solo practice creature.ģ] The Electric keyboards are the best I have heard - they wipe away the opposition, they have dirt and character.Ĥ] There is no Hammond, but I think that's wise as the Hammond is a beast on its own. As a solo practice day to day piano the Yamaha will certainly do the job, but there are better (IMO). Many of the presets are very high quality and instantly give the composer the sound for that setting. My goto solo sound is the concert grand on my Roland 700NX (which is a little metallic), one to one comparisons with that lead me back to the Roland, though I fully appreciate that Keyscape's Yamaha is a very good instrument. Neosoul keys is more about creating original sounds in the same genre.Ģ] Though I would not describe the acouistic piano as weak, I would say that it is 8.5/10. It can't be compared to packages like NeoSoul keys which I also have. Here is my impressionġ] It is the best electro mechanical keyboard package in my studio - the level of the game has been raised. I bought Keyscape on the first day and have played with it every day since.
