I have no doubt that all the instruments will play beautifully and there aren't that many sample libraries that I would take that risk with.

Well I am quite interested in the whole thing actually, but mainly because I already use omnisphere (which imo is the best synth of all time) so I already know that the guys over at spectrasonics really know how to make electronic instruments work well.

Was the C7 your main interest in Keyscape or the EPs - Rhodes etc? I can't remember if you'd mentioned previously you were already using other sample libraries? which we can here in the audio demos captured at Spectrasonics release event. 64 note poly (if that's what we're talking about here) does a nice job on Rhodes, Wurly, CP70, Clavinet, MK80, etc. In ensemble play/band context - Nord has shown that excellent players are willing to sacrifice polyphony on the decaying/sustaining parts of the sound which are entirely lost in translation in the mix with a group.

You need to use a very basic patch and tweak to get a nice classical sound from this instrument. Their programming of the C7 patches is a very modern take on the acoustic piano - nice for pop and jazz. The 'LA' Yamaha C7 is a bonus here and quite useful if the plan is to make Keyscape the center of your live rig. Its real focus is obviously the variety of keyboard instruments in the collection - the electromechanicals in particular (but not limited to). This is definitely not a selection for players interested in the most capable, fully featured software acoustic piano available today. Although all my other VST's run fine (Garritan CFX, Ravenscroft, Vintage D and Lounge Lizard) on my system, I'm just wondering whether this bear would. Windows 7, Maxed out at 8 Gigs Ram, SSD drive and i5 CPU running at 2.3ghz. Also - my laptop meets the minimum system requirements, but only barely. I have a VPC1 and am wondering whether Keyscape includes a specific velocity curve for that controller.

Thanks.Ĭan I request that anyone making the purchase report back here as to Keyscape's playability - and also include their hardware specs? I guess it just means that there is no standalone version, correct? I already own Reaper, so I guess that would work as a host. Note : there are free simple VST hosts such as SAVIhost (which support VST2.4).ĭuh. Most DAW - digital audio workstation - (Cubase, Reaper.) are VST hosts. What does this mean in the system requirements: ' VST 2.4 or AAX-capable host software'? Examples of such software?
