SPECTRASONICS KEYSCAPE review

www.muzykuj.com

[@remon563]

I have never felt such an urge to save up and buy something.

[@prohdusah]

lol right

[@JakeMarkMusic]

I just got it and I can't even explain how worth it it is lol

[@JBlongz]

You won't be disappointed. Spectrasonics is a great company and I'm glad to work with them. Keyscape is just a small reflection of their character.

[@DeSantis5]

I feel EXACTLY the same way. I sold stuff and pooled all resources to get this. Its coming this Friday thanks to Sweetwaters (3) easy pay arrangement! Check it out.

[@jessicagreene8083]

I am planning on getting it from Sweetwater so that I can pay for it in monthly installments.

[@LMarquee]

If only Keyscape came with this piano skills. 😔

[@SlowBloke123]

I was so surprised it didn’t sound like that when I played. My copy must be faulty 😅

[@vertigopulse]

Keyscape is and sounds amazing. The real gem is that this integrates with omnisphere. Basically midi on beast mode. A no brainer. Excellent playing!!

[@JohnnyLen]

whats omnisphere?

[@RetrogradeBeats]

Woody Bayer an extremely powerful synthesizer with the same layout as keyscape. When you have Omnisphere both vsts are in the same interface

[@myheadisempty]

idk if you know this but you were playing alot of them before they even loaded. thats how spectrasnoic instruments work. it says " preview ready " you have to let it load all the way to hear the full sound. just a heads up. other wise cool video

[@15mharper]

I agree with what you're saying, But Jesus Christ if the sound its making is just a preview at the beginning then it just shows how powerful of a VST it really is.

[@JohnChandlerEdmonton]

I'm impressed!

[@yasha12isreal]

Jamel Anonuevo what do you mean?

[@ItsThatJahncke2]

@Jamz Añove The built-in soundcard in your computer might not have a great D/A converter. You'll probably need to buy yourself a good audio interface to hook up to your computer

[@zeSpammmmmer]

this is the deal with spectrasonics: they make great vst, some have been the best on the market, and for a long time. the downside is the loading time, and it gets a lot worse with multilayered, heavily modified and fx'd patches.

[@ProdByWeber]

This guy could make some incredible beats.

[@ryanhenry1172]

[@matthewpianisto]

[@INeedsMoneys]

@@matthewpianisto lol what a waste of money. nord piano is so fire on its own no need for keyscape

[@jimi9588]

@@INeedsMoneys Actually not.. Keycape sounds are way better :)

[@INeedsMoneys]

@@jimi9588 have you heard both? And i mean not through a video, but in real life?. I must say that keyscape is both draining your cpu and ram. And the sounds are not as "fat" as the ones on the Nord. Also Hardware uses no cpu ram etc. You can easily run Nord keyboard pianos through hardware preamps like NEVE or API. Keyscape is not even comparable.

[@jimi9588]

@@INeedsMoneys Yes i played them both. Nords are good, i always use them live and at jam sessions but Keyscape is simply mind blowing. No cpu problems here so cant talk about that

[@ridgedon]

I too use my nord as a glorified midi controller.

[@dmackiii5534]

How does Keyscape piano sounds compare to the actual Nord piano sounds

[@PeyCa]

@@dmackiii5534, way better.

[@saleemobeidat3954]

@@dmackiii5534 lol not even close. I have a Stage 3 and I stopped using Keyscape in general.

[@saleemobeidat3954]

Paradoxical Vibes no the opposite, sorry. Nord’s piano collection is some of the best piano samples I’ve ever heard. Keyscape’s samples are good, don’t get me wrong, but the sounds sound kind of thing and, after a while, definitely sound artificial. However I do use it for mobile setups and have it as an underlay recording midi when recording audio from my Nord. Albeit, if you’re looking for just piano stuff and for the Nord series, I’d just avoid the Stage and look into the Piano/Grand stuff. The Stage is great if you’re doing shows but the NP/NG are better in terms of just piano/EP

[@johnnulf624]

@@dmackiii5534 Everyone here is giving you polarized answers. I've played Nords and I own Keyscape. They both sound amazing, and that's coming from someone who harshly criticizes most keyboards and vsts with a zealous love for the real deal. I can't stand Roland's pianos for example. They sound so clearly synthesized (which they are). Nord is one of the only hardware keyboards that comes close for me. Keyscape is worth it just for the grand alone imo. It's not as bright as a Nord, but the mellow sound of it, especially on the bass end, has the most glorious harmonic richness I've ever heard from a keyboard or vst. Of course Nords can get mellow too, and I'd say they have more punch and more pianos to choose from. What I particularly like with Nords is the short reverb trail you get after each note that mimics the resonance of a grand piano. It really makes it come alive as if I'm in a room with it. Nord also has sympathetic resonance and pedal down samples which some high end keyboards still don't have (which boggles me). Keyscape I know has pedal down samples because you can hear the difference. I would assume it also has string resonance although I haven't paid attention to whether it does or not. Either way, it has a real fullness of sound. So I guess my point is, I think you'd be happy with either. But whether you prefer brighter or mellower pianos may affect what you buy.

[@singlewave6663]

[@erimahmet4461]

[@jokosi]

I could listen to the Rhodes LA Custom all day

[@jonasfrenzel7314]

It sounds amazing!. Once I played on a real steinway D Grand Piano, but even if it is the best Grand Piano in the world and it really sounded insanely good it didnt sound as good as the la custom grand from keyscape. In my opinion keyscape is even better than the sampled pianos from native instruments, even if they have insanely good libarys. Keyscapes LA Custom grand just has that special something that makes it sound so insanely good, and you can really hear the developers really cared to make a great product.

[@timstrel1]

I’ve had it for 4 plus years and I swear by it. Keyscape is the best

You can't project an image of that resolution onto thin air. I don't expect it anytime soon.

You could simular with glass projectors. It just isn't too practical for most situations. It would be though for a synth display like this. I suggest someone try it.

[@shatnerhasselhoff]

I wish I could buy individual patches, I hardly need any of these but I need a few.

[@cplaei1800]

i got the NORD grand and love its feel and some of the uprights. I have a hard time when it comes to the bindings of the tones, they kinda dont play together like a real acoustic piano. Beyond that my workflow is bad when I aint got MIDI to solve small playing errors. Basically i can get the sound from the NORD in as MIDI, BUT the stereo image is WAAAAAAAAY better when I record it as audio. I would like to buy the Keyscape for only 2 presets (Cinematic and Rich Balllad), but I am afraid that the stereo image is as vague?

Thank you for posting these demos of Keyscape. I'm enjoying Keyscape myself. When depressing a note on some virtual pianos, one can press the key slowly enough, it will not make any noise, like a real piano. This does not seem to be the case with Keyscape. Am I missing a setting or something?

ok I just got keyscape after listening on youtube for so long and got completely dissapointed. I used garritan cfx before which I love. Keyscape grand piano sounds great, but it has only probably like 20% of velocity (dynamic) range that garritan has and it feels actually terrible. You basically cant play anything pianissimo neither go really fortissimo, you hit the "wall" of same sample very soon it's almost like a joke even with max velocity setting. But what is worst when I set max velocity it seems that Keyscape is actually playing same samples but just increasing or decreasing volume!! It's absolutely unacceptable.
