«  much better than version 1! »

I Ivory 1 for years but I preferred The Grand 2.
I switched to the big 3 and I was very disappointed = old sound banks are no longer available and new is not comparable (much more "hard" or metal). So I did not buy the Ivory 2 and I was super excited! (All kinds of sounds, soft, metal, honky tonk, synth ...)

only flaws:
1. there tjs sound even when playing softly hyper (that is more technical than real handicap)
2. on old presets (as the old bank is accessible from tjs ivory 2) there are some notes of discord ='s as if some layers are detuned from 1 / 2 tons! = Unplayable on that note ...
But hey, there are so many presets that simply take another.

Plus they have added the sounds of pedals etc ... (As on the large 2 and 3)

Question comparison, I also use other kind of VSTi UVI, halion ... there is no photo, is unbeatable!

I find the price of really interesting update to the level of development between 1 and 2.
A remake I would do certainly did!

I give 9 / 10 because of technical faults above
