Verdict: this is easily the best piano plugin on the market, and while it can occasionally push your computer live, it’s worth the effort. That said, I know several platinum and Grammy winning musicians that have grand pianos sitting unused in the corner of their studios because of this plugin. The Piano Collection has held up fairly well for me so far (not nearly as bad as Ivories) but I’ve occasionally had it create hiccups and clicks in the audio when playing live. The one drawback of this instrument is a problem all sample based instruments face: choking the computer during live play. This feature is incredibly convincing, and puts the Piano Collection at the top of my list for realism. My favorite part about this instrument is the ability to add extra key click and ambient noise to the sound. You can choose from three different models, The Gentleman (an old upright piano), The Maverick (a personality infused aged Steinway), and The Grandeur (a massive sounding Yamaha concert grand). Review: I bought Native Instrument’s Piano Collection earlier this year as part of Komplete 10, and was blown away by the accuracy, detail, and customization of NI has included in this plugin. The Bad: huge sample library, can cause computers to choke when playing a lot of notes at the same time. The Good: stunningly realistic piano sounds.
Price: $199, bundled free with Komplete 10 ($499) Native Instruments Piano Collection (the Maverick, the Grandeur, and the Gentleman) If your goals are recording in the studio, this isn’t a bad buy, but definitely more expensive and less realistic (arguably) than the competition. Verdict: I felt like I had to include Ivories because of its tremendous (and well deserved) reputation in the keyboardist community, but I would not recommend it if you’re looking to add a piano plugin to your arsenal for live use. Also, Ivories biggest strength (its sonic accuracy) comes at an expense to the live musician: I’ve frequently had it choke or even lock up my very fast, SSD equipped MacBook Pro. Ivories II now is only negligibly better than the original, while its competition have massively upped their game.

It was the first piano plugin on the market to sound and play like an actual piano, and I spent many happy years gigging out with it and an M-Audio Keystation Pro 88.īut like so many first romances, Ivories didn’t weather the test of time. Review: Ivories was the first “real” plugin that I bought out of high school, and I fell in love with the clean, polished sound of the plugin. Can occasionally choke even the fastest hard drive. The Bad: massive sample library (77 Gigabytes), somewhat dated sound. If you have any of these pieces of software, you can open up the App Store on your Mac and get downloading.The Good: great sounding realistic grand piano tones.
