thanks for the nice video, I just came across this, I wish I could afford the Black Diamond B280 compared to the Steinway is very clean sound, maybe Santa brings me for Christmas haha
Re Pianoverse.....We are reaching the point where samples are all so good...the companies are doing anything to try and set themselves apart from all the others...and quality is all so good........Creativity is great....
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:14 🎵 Bitwig and PreSonus have collaborated on a new DAW project file standard, allowing you to share projects across different DAWs. 00:58 🎹 IK Multimedia's PianoVerse is a unique piano plugin with generative reverb that simulates various environments, offering creative possibilities. 04:18 🎶 When comparing piano plugins for cinematic sounds, Hammers and Waves offers more presets, while PianoVerse allows for greater sound customization. 05:00 🎹 Native Instruments' Homage is a virtual instrument designed for hip-hop music, inspired by the LA beat scene and recorded through vintage hardware. 06:09 📱 Avid's Pro Tools Sketch is a free iPad app for sketching music ideas using a clip-based creation method, resembling Ableton Live's session view.
For those who want to experiment with the kind of natural reverberation found in, e.g., forests, deserts, etc., there is a free VST plugin called "Outdoorverb". Otherwise, a good convolution reverb will reproduce any indoor space in which an impulse has been recorded.
Presonus did an amazing job ! I was flabbergasted with the 6.5 update and all the improvement ! It was my favorite daw for music, but it will probably be my favorite DAW for everything now. I also saw Pianoverse, the first downside for me is the fact that there is no bundle. but it looks amazing and sound really good. Finaly, I don't really have a favorite cinematic piano, but when I do cinematic production I use Arturia piano with other plugin to make it more cinematic. Thanks for the video. Have a great week end. Oh a little question for you. Do you have any recommandation for a production / mixing desk ?
My favorite piano has been Noire for the longest time now. No only is it a great piano, but it has cool features that I prefer over hammers and waves, even though they're less expressive. How do you feel that Noire would compare with Pianoverse? Finally a worthy piano to switch to?
ExarpOmega, I haven’t tried Noire though I received it with my last Komplete upgrade. I am not a huge fan of some of the other NI pianos, like Maverick and the Gentlemen, but they’re decent. How would you compare Noire to those, if you’ve used them? Thanks.
@@fredmanteghian5913 in my opinion, Noire is vastly superior to the maverick and the gentleman. The Giant and Una corda are also unique pianos (I use Una Corda sometimes), but what sets Noire apart is the particle generator and reverb effects that are similar to Piano Colors and also Hammers and Waves. It's not just the better sounding piano, but it also has a lot of inspirational effects on top of that, that you can tweak to your liking.
Thanks as always for the early Saturday pick-me-up! I'm gutted about Moog, and I think the manufacturing move is a VERY bad idea (not least because of what is probably going to happen within the next couple of years), but Moog also was...not business savvy and was frequently in trouble as a result. One critcism: IKM's sea floor preset was completely unconvincing: there was not one hysterical, terrified scream (from me) about sharks.
I use 2 daws, Studio one and Bitwig and i didn't knew about the collaboration, the way i screamed when he said it, i didn't even think i would ever do that!
Sharing files as natively as possible across DAWs is a big dream. For that, DAWs would not only need to consider their own implementations of features, but other DAWs as well, include any new features in the format and get it to work with their own DAW to send and receive the new features of that format. A developer's nightmare. How should that even work, when you use VSTs, that are native to the DAW? The other person would need to have the VSTs that you're using. If you're the same person using two DAWs at the same time, you need to get your game together and learn one tool to the fullest.
Thanks, Sanjay! It’s no disadvantage when different DAWs work together in the way Studio 1 and Bitwig do! The Pianoverse seems to be a very interesting piece of software!
I faintly remember SSL trying something like the DAW Project around the early 2010s where it would function as a “bridge”. Hopefully this new venture will work. I have to say that the Pianoverse is pretty attractive. QOTW: Still use Arturia’s Piano V. I have also used Roland Fantom X8 (OG 2006) for this aim. There’s a leak that KORG will issue a 49/61 Keystage MIDI controller that will support MIDI 2.0, will offer poly AT (thanks to ASM) and the going price will be 600/700 respectively. GearNews reported on this.
Oh a cinematic piano... Im broke so go for free things but heres my usual method: Kontakt The Gentleman came with my Circuit, so i layer that with some of LABS synth style pianos as BG LR layers. usually about 2 actual pianos and 2-3 piano/pads sounds rly nice all sent to a hall verb with a dynamic eq bus boosting the mid and taming the hi-mid. I use that chain abt 80% of my tracks
My favourite piano is Addictive Keys on the Ambient preset.. Reason- its a paid piano that us Focusrite/Novation users got for free.. I know you hate it but i think you probably weren't in that same situation as us..
I don't know if you would call it a cinematic piano, to say, but my goto is Grand Piano in Kontakt... I typically like to using my piano bus and then send that over to Valhalla Shimmer and Delay, via return tracks
Knowing IK Multiimedia transaction hell the other environments are just more microtransactions to bleed you dry, I'm surprised they don't have a price per piano string with a subscription model
the daw industry will jump on the band wagon, but pro tool's will try there best to be Proprietary from using this new up comming industry daw standard.. let's see if im right. im thinking that some of them moog staff will start a whole synth new company, truly hope this develops great work sanjay..
This is definitely something I want. A universal DAW format. We need to all put pressure on the other manufacturers to join in! As for pianoverse, your personal preset sounded awesome.
I’ve played pianos on the sea floor, in the middle of the desert, and on other planets, and they don’t sound anything like that. Close, but not quite. 😂
Good morning Sanjay. A universal file system would be great, but Im a bit skeptical. You need to have bigger players such as Ableton, Pro Tools, etc. get on board first, then there's a chance. Until then...nnot happening.
If Studio One could get a proper “splitter” that worked like Ableton’s Audio Effect Rack, it would be GAME OVER and I wouldn’t have a need to continue producing in Ableton… but oh well… I’ll just have to wait till that day
Sanjay have you tried the blueprint electric keys by fracture sounds if not then you should its based on the rhodes mk 1 with the atmosphere layer and reverb of fracture sounds and the best part is its free and if you haven't then you should its just gorgeous
Pianoverse... meh. So over done with all effects. It doesn't sound like instrument is placed in special space, only highly processed. From the demo I can see its nothing you can't achieve with ANY piano sound library + effects. For piano - only Pianoteq.

Using pro tools at college and using ableton at home. Having universal files would help sooooo much
Yes! Let's get more DAWs on this format!
@@SanjayC Live!
Being able to share projects between different DAWs would be a revolution in music production.
Welcome Back Sanjay.. These weekly videos were heavily missed. Also my deepest condolences to you and the family for the loss! 🙏
🙏🏽💕 Thank you soo much
Thank you so much. And don't miss last week'd video and freebie too!
Yes. Make em all support a common format for better co-operation 😊
Re Pianoverse.....We are reaching the point where samples are all so good...the companies are doing anything to try and set themselves apart from all the others...and quality is all so good........Creativity is great....
I love how you can “play” the piano in different environments. So cool!!! ❤

Edit: I use Felt Seiler soooo much... It is SO GOOD!!!
Yeah, its really cool!
Universal format 🔥. Pianoverse may be on my Black Friday list.
So thoughtful of you, Acee! Thank you for the Super Thanks!

@fredmanteghian5913 Noire is definitely a step up from those pianos. There is much more dynamic range and character in the tone.
open-source DAW files will simplify a lot, from the newbies to the professional experts

LOLOL @ Missing sharks!!
I use 2 daws, Studio one and Bitwig and i didn't knew about the collaboration, the way i screamed when he said it, i didn't even think i would ever do that!
Hell yeah!! we need universal way for all DAWs
Universal DAW format would be amazing. Seafloor giving those underwater level vibes
I use Arturia VPiano3. Im a regular ole Joe, So I got to be frugal with my money. Still watch your videos though.👍
Nothing wrong with that! Thanks for sharing!
Great information as usual! I think the Pianoverse "environments" sound good, but I agree - as you said they are on face value a bit gimmicky.
I used to use Addictive keys with a few reverb plugins, but now replace AK with Pianoteq.
@sanjay you can got between different DAWS using .AAF which has been around for years.
Truly enjoyed listening to you play the piano. Awesome video, as usual!

Sharing between DAWs...game changer!
Beautiful piano playing Sanjay 🙏🏾

New DAW file Format? YES!!!
My favourite piano is Addictive Keys on the Ambient preset.. Reason- its a paid piano that us Focusrite/Novation users got for free.. I know you hate it but i think you probably weren't in that same situation as us..
I'm early again 😂 not sleeping
Yes! Thanks for stopping by early!
I don't know if you would call it a cinematic piano, to say, but my goto is Grand Piano in Kontakt... I typically like to using my piano bus and then send that over to Valhalla Shimmer and Delay, via return tracks
The piano : NOIR is my choice ! Ben :-)
This universal DAW file would make collabs between daws so much easier
Can you review MainStage Sunday keys and best midi controller for it? Thank you
Hey sanjay great video🔥 i wish you consider making a video about vsl pianos
Those are the top of the line pianos
Knowing IK Multiimedia transaction hell the other environments are just more microtransactions to bleed you dry, I'm surprised they don't have a price per piano string with a subscription model
protools will be the last to implement the new DAW format and once they implement it they'll say it is a game changer .
My go to piano for cinematic sound is Soniccouture Hammersmith Pro.
I got my answer!!
the daw industry will jump on the band wagon, but pro tool's will try there best to be Proprietary from using this new up comming industry daw standard.. let's see if im right. im thinking that some of them moog staff will start a whole synth new company, truly hope this develops great work sanjay..
Yes, ex-Moog employees should start a new company and call it "Goom".
@@avsystem3142 yea that would be a cool name reversed moog.. clone & reverse the moog synth & come with an added twist..
My first thought on Pianoverse was that it sounded so cinematic. Then you use cinematic to describe the FREE piano plugin. 😅
Yeah...thought I'd share some cinematic tools today! :-)
Sanjay when is the Rhodes vst comparison video dropping??😭😭
This is definitely something I want. A universal DAW format. We need to all put pressure on the other manufacturers to join in!
As for pianoverse, your personal preset sounded awesome.
Pianoverse sounds rather like Arturia's Aug Piano and the Westwood piano(s) engine combined.
I’ve played pianos on the sea floor, in the middle of the desert, and on other planets, and they don’t sound anything like that. Close, but not quite. 😂
Good morning Sanjay. A universal file system would be great, but Im a bit skeptical. You need to have bigger players such as Ableton, Pro Tools, etc. get on board first, then there's a chance. Until then...nnot happening.
Very doable - each daw is handling the same information.
True...just one of those needs to get on board then we'll be in motion!
Notification squad 💚
How do you do it!?!? Here first!
@@SanjayC I always look forward to your videos. So, mostly I keep my schedule free at this time.
If Studio One could get a proper “splitter” that worked like Ableton’s Audio Effect Rack, it would be GAME OVER and I wouldn’t have a need to continue producing in Ableton… but oh well… I’ll just have to wait till that day
What about MIXCRAFT? Ya'll don't seem to talk about this EASY-TO-USE-FULL-FEATURED DAW.
I was hoping IK would make Modo Piano. Sampled piano is a saturated vst instrument.
Sanjay have you tried the blueprint electric keys by fracture sounds if not then you should its based on the rhodes mk 1 with the atmosphere layer and reverb of fracture sounds and the best part is its free and if you haven't then you should its just gorgeous
Fractured makes some great stuff, but I haven't tried that one yet. I'll check it out!
@@SanjayC for sure 👍
Hi Sanjay, can u review the VSL concert D-274 vst? Big thanks!
my Cinematic Piano - Keyscape Cinematic
Noice!!😌
Hey Philip! How are you?
My cinematic piano would be : NOIR
I use my Korg Kronos
Sad news about Moog.
I thought the title said “free” 😂😂
Don't miss the free piano plugin! link is under the vid
Pianoverse... meh. So over done with all effects. It doesn't sound like instrument is placed in special space, only highly processed. From the demo I can see its nothing you can't achieve with ANY piano sound library + effects.

Thanks for the amazing video @sanjayc
