Many Thanks for this. I'm just starting out with MIDI piano and am about to install Native Instruments 5 for use with Cubase 5. Your piano moved me when you played the upright !
I really never commented anything officially on the internet, I was excited about how this virtual piano sounded. Am already convinced, and btw.you are amazing on the piano, u had some really harmonic melody tunes, keep it up!
@kchhoeng LMAO ,a great thing about music instruments is that you can be an old and grey superstar playing guitar, keys or brass because it took you that long to be awesome.
Im 29 also and ask myself, are my rap aspirations over, in the mean time i've taught myself to play guitar, with the thx to youtube tutorials!!
he probably realized he pointed the wrong way when he pointed to the side of the screen, so he inverted the screen and though nothing of it. until the piano seemed backwards
Very nice video , I like your style and humour, you are obviously very talented. I would love to hear you play more and longer please could you make some videos of you playing the instrument.
@physicswagner Cable doesn't really matter. Google ASIO4ALL for latency information. It also depends on OS or whatever... Your DSP software will have general configuration for it, at least to get it down to 20ms or so.
@physicswagner Hmm... I can't really help you there. I strictly use Ableton Live for all of my musical needs and I have little knowledge of others. (Besides Reason which doesn't support VSTs or FL Studio which is just a pain overall) I apologize for not being of any help. :'(
Waw! nice sounds. The song playing at 7:35 is really amazing. Is it a real song or where you just playing around? (does anyone maybe know the name of the song?).
he's hilarious and it's one of the more entertaining reviews i've watched. but the "cognitive dissonance" I had difficulty swallowing was trying to watch the video being reversed right-to-left
he's hilarious and it's one of the more entertaining reviews i've watched. but the "cognitive dissonance" I had difficulty swallowing was trying to watch the video being reversed right-to-left
you completely wiped out any dynamics by over compressing the piano sound shame really cause you play beautifully. For a second i even thought you had the velocity settings switched off completely.
@davidmonroy86 who cares? look at his demo and listen his beautiful music. thanks to him for this demo and the tutorial he share on the vids. and you say him a loser...? lol.,you definitely the real big loser
Haha took me a while to figure out that your cam is mirrored!
I just have to say that this is the most enjoyable demo I've ever seen. You seem really laid back and may I say an awesome pianoplayer. When you started playing the Gregorian-setting.
When the video first started I thought you were speaking another language with English dubbed over. Then I realized it just wasn't in sync. :D Nice video though, good playing and thanks for the info about Akoustik Piano, it's much appreciated.
I was just lisstening and watching your Akoustik Piano demo and noticed this You Tube video shows the Piano you are playing with the left - right reversed. What I mean is the picture shows your left hand playing the high notes and your right hand playing the low notes. This is backwards so the video was reversed!
guy, Vel curve +1? well, isn't a bit too hard? actually I use -3 and is very sensitive & soft, suites perfect... ok u have to press a bit more in order to get a high sound, but is like a real piano and a good excercise for the hands :b
yes yes i use this including virtual Guitarist and probably 50 other VSTS u can listen 2 a song i wrote on myspace dot come with phrozentimestudios at the end all using Akoustik piano VST and many more including Drums on demand
Yeah. All of NI programs support both OSX and Windows. They exactly the same. I use it on VIsta. In response to the previous user saying it's a VST, it's also a standalone if you don't wanna get a host.
Holy shit, man. This stuff is awesome! Such soothing sounds. This is refreshing just listening to your playing; never mind the Akoustik Piano tour (which is pretty sweet). Just subscribed to your videos. Keep up the good work!
Yeah... You need 88 keys to play the whole range, unless you like pressing other keys in the middle of you playing something that is a real piano, then you can get some controller with transpose.
I'm about to invest in an Axon 50 or 100 (not sure which) as a guitar to midi station. Has anyone tried Akoustik Piano, but triggered from a midi guitar instead of a keyboard?
Can I ask what audio interface you used or recommend? :) I'd like to hook up my piano to my computer using VST's. But you know it's going through USB and my onboard audiocard...so that's crap. Thanks :)
Interesting video but no offense, I still think that Synthogy Ivory might be better (sampled)-- although I must say that NI Akoustik Piano is definately very good too!!
Only the Bösendorfer is sampled really badly in my opinion, does not sound like one at all. The best sampled is the Bechstein, my choice.
HEy Torley!! i'm actually looking for something to get started on and i happen to have seen this M-Audio Keystation 88es for 200$ can. Do you think i should jump on the opportunity ?

Hallo torley! Could you answer me smth? Im a begginer on controlling, trough midi.
Please, how do you deal with latency? Does the "cable type" influences anything?
I'm using USB. And it controls! But with latency. (almost 0,3 seg, yes yes.)
I got a M-Audio, and a pretty pretty god CPU and processor and avery thing.
Can you help me figure this out?
Please man! You look like being such a nice guy!
Thank you in advance.
