GARRITAN STEINWAY PIANO VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT IN FINALE UPDATE
The fellow who's working on the Garritan Steinway updates and who posts the update info on Northern Sounds posted interesting info re the differences between the 16 bit and 24 bit versions. Just did check the Steinway and Bluthner in Galaxy II - 14.3 gigs combined size, with the Steinway coming in at 6.85 gigs. Nicolas, I'd forgotten how large the Garritan Steinway is, especially in 24 bit format. Version 3 also comes with mic settings, which you can move around and do as you please. All technical characteristics of a real grand piano are there. The new version Pianoteq 3 has a great sound, is playable as always, which responds great to a good digital piano or midi keyboard but it also has a sound very close to the real thing (only lacking the 'warmth' of certain samples). Frustrating if you want to use it a lot.Īnother piano which I like very much, more for its playability and 0.1% less for its sound is pianoteq. It would play but only be rendered on live and not off-line.
The Steinway sound was my favourite but in my old computer (P4 2.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, ATA connection and 7200 rpm drives) it would crumble and rarely run. I also own Ivory, which I've rarely used.

The samples sound rather "quiet" at first, and indeed they are, but if you play a full piece they show their full face and an incredible range of dynamics, which I've come to love. The sound is very "classical" if I may say so. Size is around 40 GB for the 16-bit samples and 68 for the 24-bit ones. It's also got hammer noise, pedal noise (not 100% on this one actually) and other features. It also has sustain resonance and sympathetique resonance (Galaxy II has these but NOT the QL Pianos for example).

Technical info includes (the pro edition that I have) 5 different mic settings, 24 and 16-bit samples. I use the Garritan Steinway and I have to say that I like it very very much. Maybe fix the product? Or point out some things for the next update to. normal) but porpianist was challenged by many tech savies in that forum and failed to reply adequently and gave little reason for his rants (which normally should have a reason, apart from trying to blame a product - end of story. The hiss that propianist mentioned was "semi-there" (I can't hear it in my own piano and my own monitors, nor I have such high knowledge of engineering but I do believe what he mentioned, as it seemed. I'm a fequent poster there, much more than here. This was the reason he was banned from NSS forums. It's a three-piano package, which also includes a Bosendorfer Imperial and a Bluthner baby grand.Ī few notes: propianist made a thread which went for more than 15 pages if I recall correctly, and some of his posts if not most were insulting and troll like. My mini-review of Galaxy II is at the bottom of p.1 of this thread. At high volumes the Galaxy Steinway will definitely cut thru a mix. At lower volumes that piano, when tweaked, is wonderfully mellifluous. The metallic quality comes in at high volumes, which is where Steinway's front duplex kicks in. Propianist describes Galaxy II as being a little metallic and zingy, pre-tweaks. That page also includes a post re his tweaks of Galaxy II.
Propianist posted brief comparisons of various pianos on p.2 of this thread. The Garritan sounds a little crisper there than what you'll here if you listen to the A/B linked to above. The technician, IMO, did a good job of voicing the hammers in the bass register.
propianist, among others, criticized his choice of microphones. The engineer had long experience with recording acoustics, but no experience recording for sampling. Steinway chose the recording venue, the recording engineer, and the piano technician. There's a good A/B of the differences here.Ī second reason for the Garritan's distinctive character has to do with decisions re the recording. Hamburgs are brighter and have a crisper bass section. Partly that's a result of Steinway choosing to record a New York, rather than a Hamburg Steinway. The Garritan Steinway has a distinctive personality. If you're looking for a piano to play at home, then high volume or public address systems issues won't be a problem. propianist posted a review on Northern Sounds re this and was bounced from that forum. Apparently this problem becomes worse, the higher up volume is set. The Garritan Steinway has been criticized for having too much hiss in the samples.

I Am Back, to some extent I think that the answer will depend on what you want to do with a software piano.
