Thanks for this pic.  That is a very nice GUI.  Keep us posted on this product and let us know when it comes to market and at what price.  I just bought SampleTekks Black and their White Grand; so I am not really in the market for another piano, but this does look nice--again I really like the GUI.  I guess the price will determine whether or not I buy it.

I did this video with the beta no screen shots as XLN has asked the testers not to share those but here are some of the sounds

This product does not seem to follow in the footsteps of AD, having no midi files to drop in [like EZ Keys], but it is quite simply instead a sample based piano VST. 

Am I correctly understanding the nature of what this software will be?

AK will have midi files in it but they are not in the beta. As for it not following suit with AD I totally disagree but it really depends on your own needs. I do not need midi drumloops at all for example. So for me they are extremely similar. 

Alright, it looks more like it is going to be similar to what AD is in many respects, according to your observations in testing. I'll probably find this very interesting to see once its been released. I like the sound of it, anyhow.

released today,

Do you have to create an account?  To download the piano?

Do they ask you to..  A.  Fill out a huge form with your country? B. Email? C. Forum name? D. First name? E. Last name? F. entire street address?

G. a password, H. confirm it?

Or do they just let you download the piano automatically, as its only got 49 keys...

I will totally download the piano, and install it..  check it out, and whatever..   but I am really tired of forms..   So..  erm?  Do you have to fill one out for the free version?

You need to register then use the online installer.

Awesome, getting the demo right now! Judging by how much I love Addictive Drums, I might not be able to resist buying Addictive Keys, too. :)

Is there an old Sampletekk piano inside here or have he done the sampling of another steiny D?
