Other digital pianos are instead ‘modeled,’ meaning they instead try to mathematically recreate a piano’s sound. Some of the instruments on this list have thousands of recordings per key, covering every which way you can play a note. You might have one ‘sampled’ recording at soft playing, one at a medium, and one at a hard level, with some added processing tricks to try and blend these samples for intermediate values.īut while the samples on a typical digital piano are measured in megabytes, a good piano VST will use typically use gigabytes of storage for a single instrument - sometimes hundreds of gigabytes. Long story, erm, long: Most digital pianos work by taking a few recordings from some real piano, and then playing them back when you press a key.
Long story short: Your PC has way more storage and processing power than any digital piano can muster. Why is a piano VST better than the sounds in my digital piano? Having a piano sound you truly enjoy can be the difference between being inspired to make great music and leaving your piano to collect dust, so I hope this list will help you lean towards the former. In this article, I wanted to expand on some of my earlier suggestions, while providing several more options to consider.
Instead, you let your PC handle the heavy lifting using software colloquially called a piano VST (virtual studio technology), also known as a piano library or simply a virtual piano. The trick is you don’t use the sounds built into your digital piano.
