Some of the world’s finest musicians have sat on that stool and tinkled on those ivories. Garritan takes on a Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano but it’s not just any old piano sitting around somewhere, this is the Yamaha CFX that sits in the famous Abbey Road Studio A in London. In no particular order, the best Piano VSTs of 2022: While much of the feel will be in your MIDI controller keyboard the aural experience of playing a superb piano has been wonderfully captured. The best Virtual Pianos are built from meticulous attention to detail where every nuance has been sampled, every physical dimension has been modelled to replicate the sound and playability of the real thing. You’ll find many classics here as they are so well put together that they are not easily replaced by more modern attempts. The search for the perfect, most authentic and expressive virtual piano continues and in our list you’ll find a range of excellent Piano VSTs that could be the one you’re looking for. Then I use the Fantom's audio jacks (headphones quite often) to listen to it.Computers have the power to conjure up incredibly detailed and emotive piano sounds. The Fantom sends my keypresses via MIDI to the PC, and the software sends USB audio back to the Fantom. I have a very quiet mini PC that is USB connected to the Fantom. The feel is great, combined with the great sound from the mentioned software. The Garritan not only recorded the piano, but also the room, so it sounds like you are in the best room on the planet playing the best piano.Īre you using a $3600 keyboard workstation as a controller for those? Pianoteq 7 is free to try, and the cheapest version is enough for many people.

I never feel that way with the V piano or any of the other Roland pianos. In either case, playing while listening to them just makes me want to keep playing and listening to the amazing sound. If I had to pick one, I would choose Garritan.


I don't even use the Roland pianos anymore. Garritan CFX and Pianoteq 7 meet all of my needs.
