(I also feel, but this is totally unimportant, that it ships with terrible sounding presets, except for the ones that don’t stray too much from the core, unprocessed pianosound.) Samples that are the sonic equivalent of pinned and framed butterflies. There’s a sort of PCM-quality to their sound, I find. But to my ears, nearly all the UVI pianos sound a bit like hardware digital pianos. Not a fan of the new UVI Austrian Grand though (despite Rob's totally mesmerizing and very beautiful playing with it). Its current price is, frankly, ridiculous. On the whole, the Ravenscroft is a very good sampled piano, no question about it. But if you don’t go there, there’s no problem of course. Barely noticeable, but everytime I record something with the Ravenscroft, there’s always one or two moments when I’m thinking: “Now, is that entirely in phase or not?Īnd the second tiny problem is that four or five notes in the C2 octave have slightly distracting samples at the highest velocity. 'Sterile' is not a word I would use in connection with the Ravenscroft, but I do have two tiny, tiny problems with it - tiny ones - and they’re both situated in the C2-C3 octave: when enabling both the Close and the Player mic’s, a few of the notes in that area seem to have the subtlest hint of phasing issues.
