By far my favorite piano plugin! The UI alone inspires me, but having the ability to add a rhythmic bed behind it, makes me ( a non-piano player) sound better.

Thanks Reuben. That means a lot.
I'm so glad I got this - I love it more each time I play it, and haven't explored a fraction of the options yet. Can't wait for what you create next!

@@skyboxAudio I hope so too. The only thing I don't understand is, I thought Ethan Cohen was the director of 'Fargo', but you have Shia LaBeouf demonstrating the product. Keep up the great work!
