@@b3at2 Thank you. They're not actual songs or pieces. Just improvisations in certain styles.

Have you tried Garritan's Yamaha CFX vst? I ask because Garritan's version has a MUCH larger sample set, at over 130gb vs Noire's 16gb sample set and I'm wondering how the 2 compare, considering the major difference in sample size.

This is a wonderful example showcasing the pure sound of Noire. NI and Galaxy Instruments have done a great job with this library. I own multiple piano sample libraries (some considerably bigger and more expensive) but Noire has become my goto for general piano duties. However, there is one flaw with this instrument and that is it doesn’t support Una Corda! I really miss this for some classical recordings and end up having to use a different library when this is required. I would even be happy with modelled Una Corda which some companies have successfully implemented and would happily pay a small upgrade fee for this! I’m hoping NI/ Galaxy Instruments will add this in an update at some point in the future.

I never get tired of listening to you. Your music is wonderful. I am an amateur pianist. I want to learn these works even if it takes me years. Where can I buy the sheet music? And if they don't exist, could you re-record the session and share the midi? You would make many of us happy. It's amazing how you play

[@InTheMixReviews]

You’re so kind, and I appreciate that. However these are old recording and the session files are long gone. It’d too much work to recreate a spontaneous improvisation. You guessed it. No sheet music either. If you’re a beginner, definitely think about studying Chopin pieces and then incorporate ideas into your own music. It’s hard work for sure but it does pay off.

Nils Frahm is my personal piano hero, so being able to play on his precious Yamaha CFX Concert Grand is a real privilege.. and the price is perfect too! 149,- is NOTHING for a piano of this quality, people... it's amazing!

That’s how you test vst! Not like many youtubers who play sweet and slow songs with zero dynamism. That’s the only way to test if the piano has a plastic sound or not. Thank you!

[@InTheMixReviews]

Thank you Andrea. Yes, playing an actual music does help a lot. I try to cover the whole range at different velocities...etc..., but still it's good to have different people demo the product in their own style.

[@YoungBlaze]

Lol plastic sound

[@BuzBG]

It kinda makes sense. If a piano is gentle but never finds warmth, or conversely bright without dynamism, it's really hard to explain what is lacking. Imagining it's made of plastic gets to the heart of it in a relatable way.

[@InTheMixReviews]

@@markali88 I just use the default velocity curve. I kind of tried the rest and didn't like them at all. Maybe I didn't spend enough time with them. So in general I leave Kronos alone.

Gorgeous. I wish I could get my Noire to function properly. The volume is so quiet when I use my Roland RD-2000 88-key controller that you can only hear faint notes. But if you test fire notes off using an on-screen midi keyboard, it's perfect.

[@InTheMixReviews]

That’s so strange. How about other sample libraries?

[@station2station544]

@@InTheMixReviews Other instruments sound perfect. But pianos have more dramatic velocity curve/dynamics than synths for example. There are other talking about it. Did you have to modify your Kronos velocities or anything?. Thanks!

[@InTheMixReviews]

No I meant with other Pianos not synths. Mine sounds just fine

[@abolit]

I would check your velocity setting - that's where the "miracle" is :D . My guess is your key action is "weak" or too soft to get to the required velocity level. If you have any DAW you can monitor the velocity

Great performance and amazing showcase of the noire piano. I got inspired and tried it myself but when I used it, it was way quieter to your video. How did you manage to increase the volume without changing the effects or anything like that. Would love to know. Thanks in advance.

[@InTheMixReviews]

Thank you very much. I think I know what you're talking about. If I remember correctly, NOIRE had this issue where the volume would default to -6dB, regardless of what you set your volume for the midi track to. I haven't upgraded to the latest KONTAKT yet. Not sure if they ever solved that issue, but I remember I used to start recording before the first note, and had to raise the volume on Kontakt manually to 0dB to make sure my track would be recorded at the proper level.

Great playing, really enjoyed that :) I'm debating whether to buy a Kronos 88 and a few extra VST's or just buy NI's S88 MKII and a ton of VST's. I want the Kronos for KARMA and some other functions but I could save the money and spend it on more sounds such as orchestra's etc with the S88. Any thoughts? I'm planning to start music composition as a hobby. I'm not sure how good the Korg sounds are. I know the pianos are pretty good but don't know about the other instruments such as violin, cello, trumpet, sax etc etc.

[@InTheMixReviews]

Thank you Col. I'm not a big fan of sample libraries for stage performances. To me that's just not convenient. For home/studio usage, I have both set ups. Kronos is awesome for instant satisfaction type of thing. It's nice to have a platter of bread and butter type of sounds at your disposal without having to play around with libraries and stuff. Even then I never use the onboard sequencer to actually record anything, as nothing beats a DAW. But when it comes to more extensive recordings (orchestral arrangements in particular), sample libraries are a blessing. They offer so much more for a dedicated instrument or a family of instruments than any workstation ever will. It really depends on your workflow and priorities.

[@coloaten6682]

@@InTheMixReviews Thanks for your reply :) I'll probably end up buying the Kronos and a VST setup such as the Native Instruments S88 and a ton of VST's, for the reasons you mention.

Thank you Marc. In my opinion, that's the worst way of comparing various libraries or even multiple presets from the same library. I could never understand why people run the same midi file through bunch of libraries and come up with these comparison videos. Each preset or library needs to be played separately. There are bunch of factors that need to be taken into consideration. For one thing every library responds differently to the same velocity value, and that's just one of many factors.

I made a few subtle changes to the stock parameters, but again these options come with the library. I haven't played the UVI Key suite, so can't compare, but I can tell you that is particular Piano is VERY interesting. That Particles Engine makes it even more playable. It has a very sound track, cinematic quality. Useful for conventional playing as well. I gotta check out the UVI suite ...

Hey, are using sustain pedal because my Pianos in kontack doesn't sound like this🙏🏻

[@InTheMixReviews]

Of course I do. It’d be impossible to play piano without it

Excuse the bad, I have a big question, according to you between Ivory II and all the Native Instrument pianos which ones are the best, because I have all those of the NI except Noire and I ask myself to take the others too .. this is consuming me I have been hoping for some time to help me

[@InTheMixReviews]

It's really hard to say which one is the best. They're all playable and have their own unique character. Noire does offer that particles engine, so if that's something of interest, you won't find it with Ivory pianos. I have a lot of Ivory Piano videos as well. You can check them out and compare them that way if you like.

I'm buying this Vst tomorrow how do you get it to work on your piano though? I don't get what to do. Also how do u record the direct sound to a computer how do I make this sound come from my piano I really like the sound it's amazing

[@InTheMixReviews]

Noire is strictly a sample library. You would need a Computer, DAW and a midi controller of some sort. If you’re not familiar with this concept, I don’t recommend for you to buy anything just yet. You might want to check out pro audio forums and how-to videos first and then decide on products.

@@InTheMixReviews I've been looking into this the past few days and I have downloaded cakewalk DAW. I also have a relatively powerful pc. I use a 88key digital piano that has a built in Audio interface which allows for audio/midi signals to travel to and from the piano via only one direct usb from the piano to the computer. but the big question is does that count as a midi controller? And would this Vst work with my piano? The manual says it's USB class compliant

[@InTheMixReviews]

@@kaii7147 Yes it does. In fact the synth workstation that is being used in this video is connected to the computer via a usb cable. If your keyboard/digital piano has a midi out, or usb midi built-in, you can totally use it as a midi controller.
