If normal synths are impersonators, these are impostors!

Modartt Pianoteq

The current state-of-the-art in physical modelling; an incredibly detailed grand piano instrument. Correct handling of half-pedalling, re-pedalling, note re-striking, individual damper-off sympathetic string resonance, and a number of other little things of the kind you don't really notice, until you feel their absence when playing the competition.

Native Instruments B4 II

3 manuals worth of tonewheel organ bliss -- with your choice of pristine, normally worn, or totally trashed mechanism!

(However, playing live both my ability and hardware still only copes with the two upper manuals... :)


Nusofting HarpTime

Harp sounds so lifelike it's creepy.


Nusofting Peti

Emulating a reed-and-bellows mechanism, as found in accordions and Eastern/Arabian pump organs.


soundfonts.it MrRay73, MrTramp

Physically modelled electric pianos (Fender Rhodes Mk I and Wurlitzer A200) with that smoooth response it's so hard to get from sampled instruments.
