Yes, I just wanted to formulate a compromise here quoting DNJ, but I totally agree that only in a "busy" style mix the piano sample is insignificant. In a light jazz combo where piano is in the focus the Tyros piano would already be non-satisfying for me. So maybe Yamaha will react and provide flash piano expansions in the future (of a reasonable size, not 1 GB).
But if you look at how few members in this forum care about a high-grade piano, it will,be up to arranger market research whether Yamaha is going to address it or not.
Its not just samples, its also things as damper resonance and string resonance, which can be archieved with samples, but peferably with virtuall technollogy like yamaha does with its vcm technollogy... I would love to see that...
However Nord has great piano's that are totally sampled..
The Nord Italian grand which is seen as the best sampled piano by many is only 182MB in its largest form... Th e Kronos piano's are up to 4 GB in size its not looped at all, but compared to the Nord piano's i can not really hear the difference..
Keep in mind tough, that most current day piano players want several differnt piano sounds Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai, Boesendorfer, Fazioli and Bechstein all have a very different character... Ideally you would want to have one of each..
Only Nord and Korg Kronos offer piano's over this broad range...Yamaha sticks to Boesendorfer(which they own) and their own grands. Same goes for Kawai.
Tough with a bit of luck someone could convert the Nord sample format to Yamaha's Seems someone allready offers the Nord samples for kontakt..
