It's a beast, no? My favorites turned out to be the EPs rather than the fancy grand. Of course, you realize that now you'll have to get Omnisphere, too...

Actually what sold me on it was the LA Rhodes samples....yes it is huge, lots of top quality sounds to choose from, a great selection........Omnisphere ??...not for a while.....I like that the browser has a search function....the main thing though is the quality of the sound samples, they just sounded really good in my studio. So for the price of a fender squire guitar, I get all these samples.....sounds like a great deal to me.

...Omnisphere ??...not for a while....



I didn't just pick that suggestion out of the air. Omnisphere and Keyscape (along with Trilian) share the same engine, which means Keyscape can become another soundsource within Omnisphere.
 
Now, I know you prefer organic sounds over synths (me too), that Omnisphere is technically a "synth", and many of its thousands of patches are indeed very synthy. However, its value as a companion to Keyscape is twofold. The most obvious is that you can layer pianos and pads/voices/strings. Less obvious are all the goodies that Omnisphere brings that Keyscape lacks, such as envelope shaping, pitch-shifting, multi-timbral live mode, filters and effects. They even have a free patch library called "Keyscape Creative" just for users who have Omnisphere and Keyscape that shows off the possibilities.

Yes but the price of Omnisphere is $479 which puts it out of reach for me at this time. Right now I'm at my self imposed limit and was lucky to get Keyscape. I really am maxed out right now.

I'm looking at this from the other side. I have Omnisphere and I'm thinking of one day picking up Keyscape.  I like synth stuff best, but nice sounding keys can come in handy as well.  Maybe someday I'll splurge and add it to the arsenal.

I really wish Spectasonics would offer competitive cross-grade or educational prices, since I'd like to get this. The $379 price is just too expensive for me right now, especially when I picked up the Arturia V collection for $199 last year.

I know it's expensive, I almost didn't buy it, but then I looked at the list of artists who use Spectrasonic products, listened to the demos and decided it was a top notch sample set. It seems every major act in the music business is using their stuff. I want to be a part of that. I wanted a good selection of instruments to work with and this is it. Ya it was $379 dollars, but compare that to a price of a guitar or any other instrument...I'm getting the sounds of 36 different instruments without the headaches of maintaining them, moving them, storing them, paying for repairs etc....Just a C7 alone would cost $20,000+.....so in all fairness $379 is a very good value for what you get.
