Listen to the 2nd KRONOS 3 demo song by Stephen Kay, creator of KARMA. It is a tribute to the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle disaster. It uses a vocal track.

The 8th demo song Interstices by Jordan Rudess showcases the gorgeous solo FAZIOLI F308 Concert Grand piano sample.


I am thoroughly impressed.
I want one!
