![]() ![]() I love the sound quality of this pedal and the price is definitely worth it for what I am trying to do. The virtual piano in the interface sets the scene for a real simulation of an acoustic piano. The price is reasonable, especially if you buy this as part True Pianos bundle of virtual instruments. It also has a built in metronome and the ability to play audio files that you can play along with. While I always like to use a real acoustic piano when I can, if that is not an option having True Pianos is a huge asset as it give me a great sound in the box that I can control via a MIDI controller and edit like I would MIDI. It always runs smoothly for me when I run this on my Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GBs of RAM. I run this virtual instrument both as a stand alone piece of software and in Apple Logic. Having all the presets there is a huge plus as there are a ton of great pre made sounds in this. The interface is laid out smartly and everything is right there for you to get a ton of different types of acoustic piano sounds. It was easy to install and doesn't take to long to figure out what everything does. I've been using the 4 Front True Pianos for about a year and I have come to know it as one of the best virtual acoustic pianos out there. Or even a full 88 key midi keyboard and 4 Front True Pianos you might feel like you are sitting at a baby grand. I think its great and its something that we should all have, if you are into using piano into your music you will want to get this but if you want to just have it to learn the piano or teach the piano or just play ten make sure yo have a great midi keyboard to use with it, because whats the point in having the piano sounds if it feels like your playing a toy piano from Toy’s R Us? You want a nice midi keyboard with after touch and some weight to the keys. I do not use it that much just when I want some real true authentic piano’s in my recordings. ![]() It only took a few minutes to load up and install and it hasn’t caused any problems or system errors yet. Very easy to install and its not that big of a vst at all. So if you just want to mess around with the piano or even practice on your playing then you can just open it right up from your desktop and don’t need to have anything else open if you arent going to sequence what you play. One of the great things about it is that you can use it stand alone and don’t have to open up your sequencing software or daw to use it. They pianos are better than they are on almost any of my boards, and these is just a virtual instrument. But once I really had the chance to listen into them solo before adding any other instruments to them I was amazed. The piano sounds that are from 4Front at first didn’t seem appealing to me because I was so use to using so many cheap plug in piano’s in my tunes. It's worth the money and even more, search for it and buy it. Knowing what I know, I'm quite sure that I would make the same choice over and over again, because as I said, it provides a consistent quality of tone all over the range, the overtones sound good, even the diminished chords sound pretty natural which I never encountered in any type of piano vst. I've tried several models but I stuck with this, check it out, it's fast and has a nice tone. This vst is used world wide, I have some friends that use it in their studios, it's easy to use, fast, provided great sounding and also doesn't require a very powerful machine, it's pretty perfect. Precision and quality of the sounds is incredible, one of the few high-quality piano vst on the market, I enjoy working with this program and create a nice rich yet natural piano sounding. What Do I like most about it, is the fact that it doesn't require an advanced installation and high cpu resources.Īnother great feature of this program is that you can visually see the notes that are active, also the fact that you have different setups to choose what kind of sound you would like to incorporate in your mixes, a deeper, classical music kind of sound, or a lighter one, most found in pop/ rnb and hip-hop songs.Īnother special thing about this product, is that all over the range provided by it, it sounds constant, on the market there are some piano vst that sound good only in high range, other just in lower ranges, and they would work great for basses, but in many cases you want a more fuller sound all over the ranges. 4Front TruePianos is a VST that simulates a deep piano sound. ![]() ![]() ![]()

If you are coming from a SATA SSD or worse, a traditional HDD, you’ll definitely notice the huge difference in speed (both read and write). It is a really fast drive and I can feel it when transferring many, large files in and out of the drive during testing. Using CrystalDiskBenchmark, I can definitely get what’s being promised by Crucial: With the small form factor, you can also use the drive to upgrade your laptop’s storage solution with a larger capacity and faster performance.

It also comes with Storage Executive and free Acronis True Image cloning software to make it easy to migrate your whole drive (including your Windows operating system) to the new one. This includes full hardware-based encryption, dynamic write acceleration, and adaptive thermal protection for a better system reliability under heavy load. It’s a nice bonus on top.Ĭrucial P5 Plus is engineered by the well-known Micron company with the latest Gen4 NVMe technology. Not only they have larger storage capacity, they actually offer 1000MB/s faster write speed. However, if this is going to be your gaming drive (or the place where you are editing videos from and to), definitely go for the 1TB or 2TB. If you are replacing your operating system drive, 500GB is usually more than enough. The drive comes with a few storage capacity options: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB (the review unit I have here is the 1TB model). So what you get, is a really fast drive but at a fracture of the cost. And while it’s not the fastest NVMe SSD drive in the planet compared to the WD_BLACK SN850X, in most cases you won’t actually notice the difference in real life. You can save around A$60 for a slightly lower spec on paper and still get a really fast drive such as the one here from Crucial.Ĭrucial P5 Plus comes with 6,600MB/s read and 5,000MB/s write speed (on the 1TB and 2TB models).
