Hi,

I play piano for over 20 years now, started with a steinway grand piano
und moved my way to all kind of different synths.
This is defintitly not a real piano (if it was, the piano is heavily
defect), for some reason:
1) I hear about 3-4 different velocity zones which the synth blends in.
2) the release phase of the sound is too hard (he should have had the
reverb switch on to diffuse to sound....) a real piano would have some
wood resonance and early reflection coloration I miss here.
3) the attack phase of the sound is also to hard for me, it goes in a
direction of the famous Korg M1piano patch (not fully but a bit) we all
used in the early 90s. ;-)
4) I think it's not a yamaha or roland sound engine, it could be a new
korg or a very hard preset from the promega labeled something like "80s
piano", "pop piano"...

it is not a rhodes, spinett, clavi, cp70 / cp80...

sorry for that!

I uploaded an mp3 and I'd be grateful if you'd take a listen and let me
know if you think this is a real or sampled piano. A guy tries to
"sell" this as a real piano but I think it's a digital keyboard of
sampled piano sounds. Either way I think it sounds like crap but I'd
really like to know what YOU think. Thanks in advance.
