Vienna Piano Reviews
Not worth the price at all, just use Muse Keys
good but not at all worth €25 ...
The pedal sustains longer than it should creating a mess. Even after manually adjusting every pedal marking back a bit to the last note of the measure (rather than extending to beat 1 of the next measure), the pedal bleeds. PLEASE FIX!
When holding the pedal for a long time and including decrescendo, at the end there is always a "blip" sound, please fix
Sounds very robotic, dirty
The phrasing is really good and the notes are very solid and clear. One of the best pianos you can buy. All it needs, is a little update to fix the pedal.
without pedal sounds a bit like muse basics Also some problems with pedal does exist. But its good, and some issues will disapper when updates will come out
Really nice overall but yeah the pedal is doing something quite odd as many others have picked up, probably should do something about that
Issues with pedal
Absolutely gorgeous-sounding piano for my scores! I share the same issues as others with the pedal, but I'm not enthusiast enough to care (that being said, I wouldn't mind a fix to it if one is coming).
The best sounding grand on this platform (until Berlin Grands gets fixed). Just like the other Vienna libraries, this one is extremely well balanced dynamically and is crisp musically. The natural dryness of the patch makes adding reverb nice since you can get an entirely different sound depending on how much reverb you add. This instrument is so good in fact that when I heard it, it inspired me to get it and write a piano trio to fully test it out. There are only 2 downsides, both are small. First is what the others here are talking about, the pedal. On the day this is being posted, the pedal is pretty muddy, I don't entirely know how they could go about fixing it but if it gets toned down just a tad then it's perfect. The other thing could be personal taste. Whenever you play a note sf in real life, the sound sticks around for a bit then it goes. However in this patch it goes away just a tad faster than it should to my ear. Besides those two things, this is pretty much the complete package. The standard volume it comes in is good for solo and chamber music and with a little boost of volume in the mixer, is great for concertos.
The sound quality is well, especially the bass. However, if I want to apply this sound to my exsisting scores, I have to move the beginning of padel forward for one unit in MuseScore. Otherwise, if you leave the pedal by default, the playback will be extreme dirty. I find that this soundpack would lengthen the previous note, and includes its sound to the current pedal range. Please fix this issue, it is painful and time-consuming to adapt all my scores on-by-one for this soundpack.
It has a more natural sounding piano compared to Grand Piano of Muse Keys.
