If so is it worth it. They are selling the full version for $80. The one that comes with Sonar with the Amber module isn't bad.

I had it and sold it.  I bought Pianoteq Play, and haven't regretted it one bit.  In fact, I upgraded to Pianoteq Standard.
 
 
Truepianos sounds fine, but the next version has been years and years in the making.  The didn't inspire confidence in me.  The biggest technical flaw is that it's not mono compatible (if that's the right term).

I have both TP and pianoteq. TP has not been in development for a while. It has beautiful sound but lack dynamics compared to pianoteq.

Thanks I appreciate your feedback. Do either of you have Ravenscroft 275? I'd like your opinion on it.

I bought the full version earlier in the year, and I enjoy it. If you have the money though, Pianoteq is the clear winner in every way. TruePianos has some aliasing in the higher frequencies and keys, and has some odd sampled notes that sound kind of off compared to the rest of the octave (adds a bit of character I guess.)

With Pianoteq, it's full physical modeling instead of TruePianos hybrid, so you can customize and tweak the sounds much more to your liking instead of just being limited to the presets in the TP modules. Depending on how you'll be playing the piano or writing midi for it, Pianoteq might be better as well since it responds to sustain, sustenuto, and the soft pedals.

If you just need some piano sounds though, and won't mind it's flaws, TruePianos isn't that bad of a choice for $80.

TP at 80 bucks is a good deal.

Bob,
 
do yourself a favour and download the demo version of Addictive Keys Studio Grand. The demo version only contains four octaves and three mic perspectives (as opposed to the full version's 88 keys and six mic perspectives) , but it won't ever time out so you can test it as long as you need. It's a beautifully sampled Steinway Model D Concert Grand, and for only $80 it's so much worth it. If I were to keep only one of all my virtual instruments, that would be the one.

The best grand VI I've ever heard! Got the full version as a BF deal. It's awesome.

I should point out that I am not a piano player but play well enough (self tought)to write and play for my own music so I appreciate a piano players perspective. I learn a lot about the differences in piano's when you guys get into the more technical aspects of piano's.
I have the Pianoteq Stage, all the Addictive keys piano's, Kontakt Grandeur as well as the Ravenscroft 275. The differences are amazing. I think my problem is not knowing how to eq them for a particular song. I don't know if it's just me but a lot of the time the piano sounds different after I record it. Does sample rate play a big part in how these pianos sound? My projects are all recorded with a sample rate of 9600. If this some how affects the piano's in a bad way I will change the sample rate.
It looks like I chose good pianos based on your feedback and I appreciate you help.

I've considered selling my Truepianos... which has become redundant ever since I bought EWQLl Pianos..
