For virtual acoustic piano: Garritan CFX is great (no discount) & any VSL (have some BF discounts). But you can get Sampletekk's White Grand MkII for $20 (90% off all pianos). For EP's: Orange Tree has the "E" Piano for $116 (35% off). I just bought NI Noire and a free upgrade to Pianoteq 8. I also have Soniccouture Hammersmith Pro. Do I need another acoustic? Noire is dope, bit not right for everything. Very nice for dark and moody. |

Just listened to the SW KS demo videos again. Not wow-ing me. Maybe it feels better under the fingers. Great to see Herbie playing though. So effortless.

The "LA E" from Keyscape is a model from the same year as the original famous "E" from Leeds Rental in LA. That one has been licensed out (from owner George Mamalakis) to Orange Tree & Jay Graydon. Orange Tree did an incredible job & might just be the best Rhodes vst out there. For Rhodes-Wurli combo I'd look into Velvet (AIR) as they have 3 Rhodes & 2 Wurli's in that package. I've seen it sold for $20. I picked it up for $10 after you mentioned it It has some nice Rhodes sounds, and the Wurli is alright. I ended up going back to the Scarbee A200 and tweaking the velocity curve on my controller. It’s getting closer. I have the Soniccouture Broken Wurli backed up somewhere as well and I need to give that a try for the “miced speaker” version. |

I haven’t heard of this before, but the demos sound nice. The stock Kontakt EP’s have never done it for me. Thanks for the tip! |

If Velvet (Rhodes & Wurlitzer) is selling for $10. nothing comes close to that deal.
It is up there with Keyscape, Orange Tree, Neo Soul, Waves E 88, etc.

I like Velvet for the Rhodes options, but since I’ve been playing it I’ve discovered that some of the single-sampled notes on the A-200 are noticeably more dull or were sampled at lower velocity than others, which hurts their match with neighboring notes,
