While the electric pianos couldn't convince me, I must say, the vibraphone is simply perfect! I bought it without hesitating. In fact, it's so good that I advise you to change the company's name into Vibrateq. The good thing is, I now can throw away all my vibraphone samples. I'm surprised there's no one talking about it.
Vibrateq... ???
Uhhnn, I don't know. Sounds like a company destined to female consumers.
I'm surprised there's no one talking about [the vibraphones].
I'm too busy _playing_ the darn things to _talk_ about them. Leave me alone, blast you!!!
;^)
Seriously, I'm absolutely in love with them. I would almost be willing to say that these vibraphone models are _better_ than the (already excellent) piano models -- of course, in my opinion, the pianos were more difficult to create, but I'm "calling a spade a spade." I actually have _trouble_ going back to the pianos now...
I'm not much interested in the vibraphone, however I too think the Pianoteq emulation sounds wonderful, and I too was wondering why noone was talking about it.

There were users talking about it...

I know what you mean, I'm experiencing the exact same thing. I programmed a preset with slow tremelo and it's hypnotizing! It's probably the best virtual instrument (whether it's modelling or samples) that I have right now.
New sounds lead to new ideas. But trust me: You won't stay with vibraphones forever. For exactly this reason.
I find the Pianos hypnotizing as well, especially the old grands if they are slightly detuned and the partials somewhat tweaked...
