Unreal.

First of all, Wow. This is in a league of its own. It allows for every aspect of the piano sound to be changed, softened, brightened, muted, etc. I would say this is for people who are very particular on feel and sound (even minuscule aspects). Great sound banks. I would actually like a “noise” generator to emulate white noise behind a recorded signal. I kind of like that raw sound sometimes.
