Noire and The Gentleman are my favs. Alicias keys sound nice too

The Giant isn't simulating a fake really tall piano. It's sampled from an actual really tall piano. It's sampled from the Klavins Piano Model 370i, a two story tall upright piano. The Una Corda is also a real instrument from the same company, which has one string per note.

Maybe It Wasn't the objective but, your playing helped me chill for a test. Thanks mate!

And soft. I love it

Lovely playing. Nice demo. You obviously know your stuff! I have Native Instruments Ultimate Collection but its great to hear it through someone elses fingers and technique. You show how each piano is suited to different styles of playing very well. Brilliant.

I love me a good clear and crisp sounding grand piano. You can always take away from the sound and make it darker, but it's much tricker to put it back in and make it brighter. Noire and Gandeur are definitely my favorites here

What a great presentation! Good to hear the possibilities and sounds - on top... your variety of playing is stunning! Thank you for this video.

i’ve never seen your videos before, but i decided to love you the moment you hit the keys. 🧡 greatly appreciate this video for so many reasons 🙏

Very sweet and chill video bro! Cheers Mr.coatseller!

Very beautiful playing! Just incredible.

Great overview! I really enjoyed the time you took with each of the sounds and hearing your commentary as well.

Man I love this demo. Thank you so much.

gorgeous playing

Thanks for your video. Because you play so nice and relaxed - not too many notes, not too impressive- it's easier to just listen to the sound. Well done!

Props to your chops. I've mostly watched your modular stuf until now. It's clear to me how equalizing synth gear is -- one can get great musical results with minimal virtuosity or even music theory training. Watching you tickle the ivories just now shows me that you're coming from a place of many hours of a traditional music practice (maybe everyone already knew that about you? Am I late to the party?). That's definitely something special in my eyes. I'm inspired. Anyhoo... I thoroughly enjoyed watching and hearing you today. Thanks.

Beautiful playing and pianos presentation.:) Thank you.

Great demos. Lovely playing.

your touch is GOLD man!

DUUUUUUUUDE. I came for the sounds, stayed for the playing. Thanks man.

Best video on KZread showing these. Thanks mate! I have the Grandeur. I think it is great for contemporary.

thanks i have these and its really great to watch your hands move around and I like how you describe them

Remember what the old sampled Pianos used to sound like on the Korg Triton and Roland modules?!?! Crazy how far ahead we are now.

The Maverick, Noire, or Grandeur with Raum sound better, in my opinion. That setup instead with a skilled player. Maybe some accompanying pads in the background from Massive X or FM8 would be killer, or a soundscape from Ashlight or Straylight with the pianist playing over it. 😎👍

thanks man their are lots of videos like this but most of them i find unhelpful and hard to watch when trying to find options for different piano sounds, you had just the right amount of talking and playing!

Really nice demo. You rocked this one.

Wow i love your playing for the gentleman portion! It made me feel like i was in a black and white movie haha

Loved your playing!

Bravo, excellent comparison, excellent playing! 👍 Thank you

nice playing man! thanks for the great demo.

Based off this alone I've subscribed. WOW! Very impressive friend, thank you.

Bless you, for this fantastic video.

Didn't know you were such a great pianist! Nice job!

Fantastic playing man. Great review too.

Beautiful playing!!

Love the video and your skills man, thanks for sharing :)

The Giant is a Klavins piano, not a fake one. The Una Corda is also a Klavins.

The Una Corda is really interesting, especially without the added "textures." The Noire probably my favorite of the grand piano styles. More presence and accuracy than any of the others, but no harsh high end.

@Jason75913

I heard that, too. The Grandeur and The Maverick have "Deep" presets that sound more impressive like the Noire. The default presets that load when you load each library will not show off each libraries' best, in my opinion.

Very useful comparison. I've been torn between the Maverick and the Grandeur but now I'm even more confused. You play so well that I suspect anything sounds good in your hands. I love what you said at the end about the difference between just listening and playing. It's so true especially for composers and songwriters.

@@esongsore I ultimately decided on Noire. It's an amazing sound and there are two of them, pure and felt. Combined with the particle engine and all the different variables you can adjust, you have many different pianos in one package. Grandeur and Maverick are both beautiful and can be modified as well. With the 50% off sale currently going on, I could also save more on the Noire which is more expensive than the other two.

Wow... 4:35 getting all the nostalgia! I played that exact piece for my grade 3 (I think?) piano exam back when I was about 8 years old! Thanks for that! Haha

Great review. Thanks.

Actually The Giant is not a simulated or emulated piano but a real piano. It’s the Model 370i (3.70 meters in height) by David Klavins who also built the Una Corda (one string per note) and just recently the Model 470i (4.70 meters in height). And what happened to ALL the other pianos by Native Instruments? I could spot at least another 7: • Berlin Grand (which was dismissed when the Gentleman/Grandeur/Maverick arrived but just recently showed up in the downloads again) • Kontakt Factory Library: - Band/Acoustic Pianos/Grand Piano - Band/Acoustic Pianos/Ragtime Piano - Band/Acoustic Pianos/Upright Piano - Orchestral/6 - Keyboard Instruments/August Foerster Grand - Orchestral/6 - Keyboard Instruments/Concert Grand • Cuba Library - 4 - Melodic Instruments/Piano :-D

Blah Uhm The virtual pianos here are all sampled i.e recorded from real Pianos.

Really enjoyed your video... looking to buy my first piano and also saw your Noire review... It certainly speaks to me as the best one, and as someone who is a 2 finger keyboardist (I play drums, guitar, bass and sing) the particle engine sounds like it was made for my limited talents. Thanks for your efforts... Your playing is beautiful and you are making a difference in my life at least. cheers -peter in Montreal.

Just , wow! Awesome

Thanks for doing this!

Most versatile . . thank's a LOT ! As an audio-fanatic I sould have liked you to tell about the set in the beginning. Anyway, thanks again for taking 7 in a row

Wow it's so realistic. Vsts have come along way!

Beautiful playing brother!

best piano plugin demo. period

Finally bought Komplete this video helped a lot. Noire is the one thing I wanted most but I'm also happy to get Absynth and massive and reaktor. Already had Kontakt.

Your authentic French and Italian pronunciation of the pianos' names is hilarious (0:10, 0:13)! I love your spontaneous improvisational ideas. If you ask me, The Grandeur is the most intimately beautiful and flexible of them all. That is why I chose that one for "My Fondest Memory" on my channel. Thank you for sharing your exceptional skills with us!

Yes, the grandeur is definitely the best sound out of the first three. Big rich bass and crisp highs. I know he says the Maverick has a darker more mellow tone, but if you want that you can just turn down the tone color of the grandeur halfway and you get the same result, but with the same full sound.

Damn that's some tasteful playing. Thank you.

I love it when you go all Bach on these pianos.

10:10 such a nice part!

I could watch you play all day.

Wow...... Your piano sound is sooooooo amazing..... Wow.. 💕

Mate how are you so talented? This is good

I liked the brightness to mellow contrast of the high and low velocities on Alicia Keys piano.

Great idea, thanks very much

"Alicia's Keys" reminded me of an extremely good Steinway B. In a studio with acoustically dead walls, so no wall reflections that muddy it. (Each instrument has its own character and depending on preference you may like the one in the showroom, think "meh", or dislike it.)

4 strings per note, in the top octaves, are found in Bösendorfer grand pianos.

This must be the most enjoyable instrument review I've ever watched.

Software aside, you do some very deft and sensitive playing. Many mysterious or cobblestone streets near the edge of the forest. Nice surprises this afternoon

I only have The Gentleman (as it came with my Maschine), but I love the sound of The Grandeur, The Giant and Una Corda.

How come his VST plugins have more resonance out of all of the other youtube samples I heard? Was the audio and the video recorded separately? What mic did he use?

OK, sir, I have to tell you. This is by far the best "demo some VST" video I've ever seen, especially of piano VSTs. Everyone rapes pianos with contemporary harmonies, blending everything in one big mess. I don't even like classical music that much, but you delivered exactly what a musician needs to hear when deciding on a new VST. All the nuances, all the dynamics, all the individual characters. Kudos. Thank you very much.

Nice sounds !

This is soo cool!!

Alicia's Keys and The Giant go really well together. Pair the lower keys of The Giant with the higher keys of Alicia's Keys, split 50/50 on one keyboard. Bask in the fullness.

Nice playing, liked the Latin stuff you touched on.

Hey, this might be a bit odd to ask on a 3 year old video, but do you have any tips on how you make the pianos louder in Native Kontrol? I basically got almost all the instruments from Native, but the pianos (that you showcased) are all much quieter than the rest of the available instruments (like strings, synths, guitars etc.). I use the Komplete Kontrol Mk II.

Fantastic......

Very funny interpretation of Glenn Gould at 11:25 also great video!

Maverick is my go-to piano. Sounds just right for most stuff

13:41 Actually something like The Giant exists IRL ;) it's called the Klavins 370, check out some demos ! It sounds huge !!!

Great pianist!!

Forget the sample library review, I'm just here to enjoy the beautiful playing.
