As of this morning, XLN Audio's Addictive Keys is available. The intro price for the Studio Grand piano is $49 (half off), but there's also a free version (with half the mics... and just over half the notes. 49 rather than 88. So, we can all try it for free.

I'm installing it right now. I hope that it's at least better than Toontrack's EZ Keys, which is frankly a pain.

Always interested in new piano sounds Tom. Have you tried TruePianos - 40 day trial - my persona favourite

Nice Tom, good sound to it. I like it. Still, though, kinda stuck on my favorite "Alicia's Keys".

ZZ, I've got a couple of True Pianos in Acid Studio 9 and Sonar X1, and, yeah, they sound great.

Addictive Keys, on the other hand....

I was under the (very mistaken) impression that it was like EZ Keys -- i.e., with MIDI grooves and loops to go with their piano. Apparently not. It's just a very tweakable piano, which is great, but not only not earth-shaking or world-changing, it's barely interesting.

Sigh. BIAB wins again, without trying.
