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. Also does very nice electric pianos, as well as a lot of other stuff where hammers bounce on strings, bells, tines and tiles!

GSi VB3

3 manuals worth of tonewheel organ bliss! (However, playing live both my ability and hardware still only copes with the two upper manuals... :)
