I'm looking for something that sounds like a real piano (and vibes) -




I've put software solutions on the back shelf ever since the day I first connected the Ketron SD2 Orchestral Wizard to the computer and heard BIAB play through it.

Not only very realistic pianos and vibes, but most all of the other instruments, too. Some complain about things like the clarinet patch having too much vibrato, but not about it sounding like anything other than a clarinet.

The piano in that thing is very good sounding indeed, to my ears. Works well in a variety of genres and situations, too.

SD2 is hardware synth, near-Zero Latency, does not tax your cpu or ram, is small in size (I even pack it up in the laptop case on trips), has separate stereo Audio Line Outs plus a Headphone Out for those times when needed. Doesn't stop working when the OS is upgraded either. Sounds very good indeed.
