The one above IMO is the best choice for BIAB, and its free to boot. Tested quite a few GM VSTs in the past, Coyote Full, Edirol, Cakewalk, also paid for Sampletank Omnisynth2, then turned back to Hypersonic (Steinberg) for ease of use and sounds. PS XGlite comes close, but Halion SE has some sounds done quite better, and has a proper interface showing available sounds by name on the GUI. It remembers the setting made here OK for BIAB. Once addressed in BIAB as default synth, it's IMO still one of the best sounding GM2 VSTs note that in Halion's options you'll have to set it to GM-mode at Program Changes. As it's 64 bit you'll need jBridge for BIAB on my system Halion 3 SE (paid version, more sounds) loads automatically as jBridge 32bit conversion. Or get this one? Sounds quite good IMO: Halion Sonic SE3 FREE PS there's an update too, but i think you'll have to register for download. ![]() you'll need a good midi synth with samples. But if you need a specific set of notes played. ![]() Real Tracks pianos in Real Band and BB can do that and they sound really good. If you don't need something played exactly, as in, can it jam to the tune or does it require specific notes. When you can put some headphones on and listen, and really wonder if that was a real piano or is it sampled. Ivory Piano, wehich I don't have but have heard, also rocks. I like the inexpensive sampled pianos in the old Cakewalk Sound Center and also some of the Native Instruments stuff. if you're a keyboard player, investing in good quality piano samples should be a given. The better sounding ones, the ones with multiple layers are the ones that are going to cost you some money. ![]() Note: I have stopped using SFZ because I have a few samples that are so much better and realistic sounding. The sound fonts are OK (SFZ) but I found them to me just slightly better than a good midi piano.
