Re: Modelled upright in V-piano update.

There's some nice sounds in those demos. But, I'm a bit disillusioned by all this "triple silver" etc naming - none of them sound as "silvery" as a bog standard piano. Just listen to this standard piano with no silver in the strings at all!:

Re: Modelled upright in V-piano update.

Nice sound, Greg. 
What makes the sound be similar to silver if it have no silver at all ?
Harder steel strings and special harder hammer shape?


I wasn't impressed with V-piano's upright model, despite limitation of evaluation by just watching a youtube video.  It did not have that upright feeling, but reamamber more a grand piano.

V-piano have some thin sound too.  I always notice more problems when playing than listening.  If I could play V-piano I'm sure I would have some quite disappoitments.
