Can anyone recommend a good inexpensive piano VST?
I've seen "The Grand" recommended by many - it is $100. I suppose I would like to pay less than that if I could. I just bought Omnisphere - which I love so far. Though, I was surprised to see that they didn't have any basic piano patches.
Thanks!

Tue, May 5, 2009 - 11:25 PMHmm. Search for free sample libraries, I'd say. Trial and error. Simpler will do to play them, or one of any number of free sampler VSTs.
The problem with finding a good VST specific to a single instrument is that they're *really* good and true to the sampled instrument. Work = money. Freeware samples of most acoustic pianos generally suck, imo. Your mileage may vary, and there's come nice Creative Commons libraries out there. Archive.org is pretty spiffy for finding acoustic samples. Pretty spiffy indeed.
The Grand is pretty awesome, just gave a listen. Pretty rich tones.

What DAW are you using? I think Logic's pianos are very good, and Live's have gotten a lot better. Also, you can download the Native Instruments Kore Player for free from their website, and it has a couple of non-traditional piano patches in its library. I like the "Dubplate Piano" patch. -

here's an example in one of my tunes:
