Keyscape?

Anybody?

Since I first heard this software in a Jacob Collier video, i have been intrigued.

But I hear so little about it anywhere so I'm curious if any of you have/use it.

My ears were extremely pleased with the Yamaha C7 (?) and I'm wondering what others are included in it's package and what the general consensus might be?

Thanks!

I found it really disappointing. The C7 is easily the worst of the package. It has super unrealistic release (like, none), there's no string resonance and the midrange totally sucks.

There's a few really good Rhodes sounds in there although Scarbee has an 88 out that with its "Matrix" expansion set is, to me, way better. Everything in KeyScape is completely pimped up, sound wise, as you will probably recognize from Trillian.

Tastes differ but as a pianist I was looking forward to splurging on it and I've been really disappointed.

I was cool to the piano at first, but now it's my default go-to piano (example, example). The electric pianos are excellent - I have used them live on stage (before I decided that lugging along a laptop was too much bother) and they were very responsive.
 
Because Keyscape uses the same engine as Omnisphere, you can combine the two for some very pleasant piano + synth pad sounds.
 
So yeh, it's pretty durn good. But I wouldn't recommend it to someone who's not all that into pianos. Me, I'm a piano player in real life, so Keyscape is much-loved here.
 
FWIW, here's the review I did for SoundBytes in May 2017.

FWIW I'm also a full time pianist, but as I said, tastes differ. I'd rate almost any semi-recent piano above the Keyscape C7 but I particularly like the Kronos German Grand and NI The Grandeur of the ones that I own. I've used and enjoyed Pianoteq on occasion but didn't jive with it enough to make it a go-to. Ivory is still on my list but I hate iLok and I'm already carrying two other dongles. Addictive Keys has some cool dark "mood" pianos. I bought the Ravenscroft Kontakt package on a recommendation but don't really like it.

None of them come close to playing an actual grand so I guess ultimately it's whether or not it has the sound you're looking for in your music.

EDIT: also, ridiculously, Keyscape is really heavy on CPU and disk speed, even though it's only playing samples. I have a well maintained i6700 based system with a dedicated SSD for all my samples, with an RME UCX audio interface, and it was still hard to avoid clicks and pops at reasonable latencies (in fact the audio buffer didn't seem to do that much). Perhaps they fixed this with an update, I haven't used it for the last six months or so. Something to take into account at least.

The LA Custom Rhodes is definitely one of the highlights! But it has a very distinct bell that doesn't always suit the mix, I prefer the Scarbee 88/Matrix which is also much lighter on CPU.
