Vote: Chinatown did it for me. I just have a soft spot for oriental sounds
Ice glasses was a close second though, instant magical atmosphere machine!

Good fun to play with the presets, thank you all, great creativity abound.

Peace all.

Hi Max,
After the voting ends, I'll post a solo jazzy composition I play with Dream Girl, of course if you accept...
And Luis, I'd really like to listen to something from you using it! Can you upload something? (record and play, export to wave and finally convert to MP3)

Thank you all!
Vega

Now that the hard part of voting is out of the way. I feel a little easier to post some comments, and yes, this is very subjective. Lots of nice work here and each one is so unique.

What I found interesting was that many of the sound characteristic fit the demos perfectly. For example: Chinatown, this piece make you feel like your cruising though the streets of china. The other pieces that intriqued me aswell were, spikey clouds and Icy glasses. SemiAcoustic had a very nice smooth touch and cool sound. Yes, the soft Rhodes was done very nice, and nice playing as well, even thought I am not a big fan of the Rhodes kind of sound (Told you, this was so subjective and a matter of personal taste).

The Satinpiano piece, I thought was also well done, and did have that nice satin sound to it. Yes the Dream Girl piece is nice, but I would've liked to hear it without the accompanying beat. I feel like a winner already that a couple of people actually like my piece. Sorry I must have low self esteem. Anyway thanks. Good Luck to everyone.

*casts vote-like magic missile!!*

>spuddle - spikey-clouds

reminds me of electroplankton, and its already grown on me in about half an hour...

its original and distinctive, although kinda subtle. unfortuantly it strikes me as the kinda thing that would be easily overlooked...

*nudge* listen again

You vote for the present or the demo?
i found the three best parameters

-mtyas - peaceair: excellent sound (the scale is altered, only good for fx)
-VegaNova - Dream Girl: a lot of reverb (you must know in real rhodes sustain is not made by reverb, but you're ok i can disminue the reverb)
-Teoteo - Soft-Rhodes: very good! but pianoteq can do better than it

i tried to improvise with every present, and the best is with

VegaNova - Dream Girl for what i vote

it's good because when i sustain is different from when i press quickly the note

thank you all for your work

Hello everybody,

Ok, here is my vote. It was not easy at all, as each preset sounds really different and the choice is inevitably subjective.

So, let's go :

3 - Max - Spacy Newage Electropiano (make me think about the atmosphere of "Le Grand Bleu")
2 - Mtyas - Peaceair (make me think of an old detuned music box)

and the first one .......

1 - Palebluegrey - Icy glasses. Ok I PROMISE IT IS NOT because you voted for me !!! It is because I liked the tone change between the single note and the chord, and the church organ sound when using the sustain pedal.

Anyway, I found all the presets very good. They give illustrations of the possilbilities of this software.

Best regards, Teoteo.
