sometimes playing an instrument just inspires you. When I played a 9 foot Steinway grand at the Steinway factory "Steinway Room" was one of those times.  That's what every pianist/keyboard player is trying to get. Those guys (and gal) in the video were surely compensated for their appearance, but their joy appeared genuine to me. Those are players I respect enormously. Maybe I'm a sucker--ok, we all are suckers sometimes--but even on my iPad Pro's speakers the sound reminded me of the days when I actually owned and played the original instruments (Rhodes, Wurly, etc.). They will sell a few of these, I'm sure. 

Hmm.. It was indeed not what I expected, but....
 
Frankly - I have watched the demo video, and was impressed by the quality of the instruments. I was always missing good realistic keys in Omnisphere, and it seems this gap is now filled.
 
I have seen some remarks from people that say: "huh - another piano vst"/rompler", but I can remember the same was said about Trilogy (that now has become Trilian). At the end Trilian has proved to be more than "another" bass "rompler". I am sure the same is true for Keyscape. We have to wait until some reviews are rolled out, before we truly know how this new instrument behaves, and what quality it has. So far, as said, I am impressed.
 
Will I buy it? Well - not immediately, but I think it will be in my library within a year or so. I am not a great keyboard player by any means (I am glad to know there is a difference between black and white keys), but I cannot deny this new instrument sounds superb. It fits a hole I was seeing in Omnisphere, and that hole has become painfully clear now. It's a gap that screams to be filled (I know, I know.. I'm not logic or coherent at all - I 'm never been fully rational really).
 
The price is high. That's true. Is it too high? In my case it's not really (I can save some money every month until I can buy it), but I suspect other people will say it's too much. That said - I think many keyboard players will love to have Keyscape.

Five years ago I wouldn't have thought twice about the purchase. It was a great video and I enjoyed hearing/watching the players.
 
Surely they will discount that for people that already own their products.

coming in about 2 weeks. called Keyscape.  10 years in the making sampling rare and vintage keys looks like.
 
boring.
 
 

You misspelled booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring.

I'm pretty sure the collection is great etc.
 
But for me, $99 is the most I'd pay for it. And even then I'd wait until it was 50% off.
 

I agree, if that is what it cost I would get it imedeatly. But I can never justify these sounds, and I do not work enough with piano players in my studio to have it installed over what I already have. If I was a piano virtuoso like the people in the video, with a great love and passion for all these instruments, then it looks pretty much worth it. I really liked the sound of this! I am no piano player, but I know a couple whom I will make aware of this

booooooooooooooooooooooooooring is right. Damn, really sad it wasn't an update to Stylus RMX (or that Karaoke synth mentioned earlier).
 
No matter how good it is, I would not put it in the innovative category, which is where I think those guys do best...

As a keyboard player (not nearly as good as those guys) I'd have to say...so.
I think the quality is outstanding but in the middle of a mix, who is really paying attention to all the nuances? If you are playing solo stuff...perhaps.  
I think the biggest selling point will be its integration with Omnisphere.
Nothing but love for Spectrasonics and I'm sure there are those that will purchase based on need but...
I've yet to purchase Omnisphere 2 because I barely touch the original.
 
Having said all that, it may find its way into my rig...eventually and just because.  Lol.
 
Ok Eric, will you upgrade RMX now?? Pretty please?? :-)

As a keyboardist I, of course, loved everything I heard.  In fact, I teared up a couple of times.  That guy from Snarky Puppy is killer diller.  For me it would also mean getting at least a 100 gig SSD external drive to run it on.  So, there's that.  And the worst part is that come October my Sweetwater account will be at "zero".  Dern.

Olpal, I believe that there will be a Lite loading version for use with live performances via laptops, etc. And I, too was awed by the sounds and of course the virtuosity of the players, (and surprise with Herbie at the end). I do not have Omnisphere, the cost has always kept me from doing it, as I am more of a "live" composer than a sound-sculptor. But dang, those keyboards sounded like the real deal, and very inspiring. It may be more than I can resist....at least, eventually.
