  veganeyes's review "Not usable"

  Overall Opinion

  The piano sounds have lovely tone, but the samples aren't consistent across the keys. It is almost as if the soft pedal are being pushed for some notes. Very annoying to play live! I also found all kinds of glitches playing back midi tracks that had been recorded using other piano software. EastWest technical support was all but nonexistent. Even though I've been happy with other EastWest software in the past, I quickly realized that this program was pretty worthless. I was beginning to think that I'd never be happy with piano software, when I tried Ivory Italian Grand II. I absolutely love it! I would STRONGLY recommend Ivory over EastWest.

  Mickamix's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Good virtual piano, professional use"

  Overall Opinion

  3 years of use, and end of the galleys with the engine PLAY2 phew!
  
  I tested and Steinberg Ivory Grand Piano (1 and 2) ... competition is jettisoned with the concert Steinway, and Bechstein. The particularity of this Piano (for my full version) is that I can adjust the microphone (close, mix and surround) is extremely useful to position the piano in the concert hall that you want, and you longer has the right to add a reverb impulse (all wonderful) ... Keep in mind that it produces little disappointed if we do not know how the settings of these microphones ... (you can also adjust the opening of the resonant case) ... Another amazing feature: push the mod wheel and you'll hear the samples "staccato" extremely realistic (to play the Chopin ?)... You have it in competition? no! listen to the notes in rapid repetition is superb.
  
  Value / price rather good. With the experience I remake this choice for the Steinway and Bosendorfer surely ... but not for the C7 shining too much for my taste, nor the Bechstein is too "smooth"
  
  But something is missing ... in this pack.
  
  You have only a super smooth and perfect together ... Piano competition offers intimate with the imperfections of games and other strings of parasitic resonances (sympathy) ... Ivory has tried but just the sound of keys / crack + pedals ... unnecessary, the sound of the strings everything!
  
  Listen to the "Hohner Baby Grand" in ImperfectSample, we are in the "beautiful" in the "woodwork" natural c super!

  Here is a super warm Piano complementary and melody for the "Forest Gump"
  
  So do not hesitate to have two! QLPIANO for the dynamics and perfection of the Steinway baby grand and the Jazz and the side "club" atmosphere.

  Overall Opinion

  Used for 3 months, I took advantage of a promo EastWest across the range.

  - Long to install!
  
  - True, it is very resource hungry, I have upgraded my PC (AMD X2 - 2 GB Ram) but there was anyway necessary. Now with a quad core AMD Phenom X4, 4GB Ram and a fast HDD (WD Caviar Black SATA), no perf bp with 2 mics (player + close) enabled.

  The sound is huge.
  
  I have not had the privilege to test the "real" models but I find the Steinway and Bechstein very very good: rich, dynamic. Resonance on the Steinway is a pure delight and gives great pleasure during the game
  
  I like a little less Bosendorfer but it is mostly a matter of taste.
  
  The Yamaha is a real cons notch below, especially compared to the incredible quality of the other 3.
  
  
  
  I see that the 2 previous reviews are very negative on the plug.
  
  It is a matter of taste, so a subjective matter altogether. In my case I'm really in love ...
  
  The grave is said to be back? no more than a pro record for me. Different microphones allow sound good shape.
  
  Above all, and it's still the most important game on the plug from a keyboard "correct" (heavy) is a pure delight showcasing the entire dynamic range.

  Groupir's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  - I use the program in stand alone for 3 weeks.
  
  
  
  - I have not tried other models, I relied on demos of East West as well as that of Purgatory Creek. My only real reference was The Grand 2 Steinberg no pianos East West fails to match despite their recent designs and debauchery of technical means used.
  
  
  
  - Nothing is really convincing except for the Steinway sound that seems a bit clearer than others. The Yamaha C7 is a true pan, Bosendorfer 290 sounds completely "confusion". A state also the total lack of recognition of Windows 7 at the time of installation. Must necessarily go through the updates available on the website of East West in order to install the product on this OS (and again ... we must do this manually)
  
  
  
  - In value for money, I feel completely rolled. East West had not accustomed to such poor quality products.
  
  
  
  - A remake? Never!

  relxchange's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Not ..."

  Overall Opinion

  Huge disappointment after being captivated by the demos, the technical description, the ambition of the project ...
  
  
  
  The samples sound like old pianos, without depth, without dynamic (or too: Yamaha), velocity and uneven harmonics, basses without depth ...
  
  
  
  Samples long to load, does not support the proximity of other player (crackles with Groove Agent, not allowing player to play both simultaneously).
  
  
  
  Surreal installation (10 hours) given the outcome (not so bad through headphones, but not acceptable for audio) ...
  
  
  
  :-(
  
  
  
  I bought and tested five samples of piano ... And only one convinced me (you have to find ;-)

  Overall Opinion

  - How long have you use it?
  
  Use for over a month on a Macbook Pro 17 pouces.Le software does not suffer too much the machine.
  
  
  
  - What is the particular feature you like best and least?
  
  First, you realize one thing with the best product versions East-West: installation time ... So of course we brle impatient to test his new "toy" in esprant not be of. Positive thing, installation, although long (this is normal given the hundreds of Giga Bytes per piano), has made no final problme.Au is batitude couraging with the software is the height of the long installation process!
  
  In addition, the handling is very simple, the software looks at the full possibilities of a joint rel piano.L game interface is also the enjoyable trs eye.
  
  - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
  
  I had the chance to try and Akoustik Piano Pianoteq. The pianos on offer are the same, yet they do not have the same depth, precision and the Quantum Leap Pianos ism of East-West ... However, these programs are Allg more, this surely will delight those who prfrent a good product for a proving too hard!
  
  
  
  - How do you report qualitprix?
  
  It is true that it is more expensive than others on the marchmais must perspective, first of all, the sound quality is irrprochable (with, for example, notes and rptition 'Sampling of a real staccato, to name a few). Then, with hindsight, if we want to obtain beautiful piano sounds, all to bring a true, of course, it is not given. This product, I believe, is more than reasonable Contents qualitprix report.
  
  
  
  - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
  
  It is indniable I would do this to me more choices than convaincu.J 've even been jealous of this product! Many of my collgues ingnieurs musicians and sound have Akoustik Piano tend turn to QLP indniable ... It is my opinion that this jewel made in East-West, many people will agree. I recommend that you cost the DMOS site of East West ( http://www.soundsonline.com/product.php?productid=EW-171 ) , so that you can you account for the "monstrous" t work that has provided, and will agree to many.

  Overall Opinion

  I purchased the piano (and Gypsy) recently, a month ago. For the pianos, I used Ivoiry before.
  
  It will be hard to do better at the sound quality of these pianos ... absolutely incredible ... I almost tried everything before and frankly I thought that was already on top Ivoiry ... but with the QL Piano is a new step. The product is cheap but very expensive ... Cheap, because given the volume of sample is given. That expensive to build, I had to buy an HD, go with Vista 64 and change the processor ... Do not think of this product with a PC three years.
  
  I will redeem this product tomorrow if necessary.
