You really need the full version in my opinion, to get the most out of the Abbey Roads Studios ambience, which adds a lovely 3D-ness to the sound. Today, I'd rate it in my top 5 (out of over 110 sampled pianos I own). I then found myself going back to the more deeply & consistently sampled pianos I have like Ivory 2.5 American Concert D, and Sampletekk's Black Grand Mk2, and then back to the Garritan CFX, which after spending more time controlling the Abbey Roads ambience in the mic mixer & settings, just blew me away with it's clarity, richness & dynamics, and beautiful resonance not found in many sampled pianos. While these are fantastic for getting a certain tone & vibe, I've found playability can be a limiting factor. Top tier sampled piano (very consistent & immediate under the fingers - very responsive to touch) and I really enjoyed using the muted samples included in the sound set, but ultimately the tone was just too clean & a little 'sterile' for my liking & use, so I sold my license.īought the Garritan CFX Full edition soon after release also, and initially loved it, but found myself using it less and less, and moved to the more less-than-perfect character sampled pianos like Imperfect Samples Fazioli & Walnut Grands, and Cinesamples Piano in Blue.
I bought the Ravenscroft 275 soon after it was released. I've owned & used all 3, so can offer an informed opinion.
