I heard of Keyscape from spectrasonics showing up on the scene.
Although entirely based on samples (appr. 80 GB) it addresses the same audience as pianoteq.
A lot of different keyboards from Rhodes to Grand.
The demos are sounding impressively good.
Any further experiences in the forum?
It is similar, in a sense, to Ravenscroft 275, a high res piano sample but Keyscape includes additional keyboards and all very nicely done. I listened to it and it is very nice. I always say that Pianoteq is to sampling what Photoshop is to Etch-A-Sketch. Well, these sample sets are a little closer to Photoshop quality but still do not have the level of editing capability of Pianoteq. I have not checked to see the size.

About 77 gig total and about 15 gig for the C7 grand.
64 voices polyphony max ? And top high end PC to handle that with little cracks and pops ? The guy from video play it with 16 voices. Obviously, this piano from bundle is not for serious solo playing. Just warning for anyone who wants to order this.
A lot to spend if you can’t try it in demo mode first. Just can’t waste that kind of money to find out if I like it or not.
I think I'd hold off on Keyscape for a little while to see the reviews etc. Spectrasonics seem to make a good product - I have Omnisphere. But I have noticed it's very resource hungry.
