It sounds very natural to me - a Steinberg model B has a lot less low end than a model D.
I would love to compare it to Ivory and the Vienna Synchron pianos but sadly none of them work in Luna (it crashes), and of course Ravel ONLY works with Luna. Meh.
It's velocity sensitive, so if you pedal gently it will be very quiet and if you slam it, you will hear the thump of the dampers. If you're not using a continuous controller, maybe it's always generating a CC64 value of 127 which would be WAY too much! Unfortunately UA haven't provided any controls to reign this in.
I find it very odd that they didn't include any kind of calibration controls - no velocity curves, no damper level adjustment, key noise, soundboard, lid adjustment etc. $300 for a single piano is already at the upper end of the scale - and then there's the deal-breaking limitation (for me at least) of only working inside Luna. And Luna in turn only works on a Mac, with an Apollo, and you are required to run iLok. That's a pretty narrow market! Who would buy it?
Exactly. Even if it was the best piano on the market would any one want to buy because of the Luna limitation. The amount of controls bothers me too.
The other things that bugs me is the Moog. I just downloaded the Moog ipad app, which is free. It sounds insanely good. the UAD version looks suspiciaously like it with all the same functionality, and it was amde with Moog.
The pecimist in me wants to think that they just fiddled with it a bit and ported it to AU and then hiked the price.
And then with the spitfire stuff, I think it's not grea that they don't tell you what you get for you money. They don't say which artics etc at all.
Hilarious. I haven’t heard anyone say DTP in 20 years.Some of the posts on here remind me of all the chortling that greeted the first version of Adobe InDesign. All the Xpress uers were laughing their tits off at the new upstart.
I'd wager most of those people are now using InDesign as their primary DTP Application.
This could be very good for Pro Tools as it might refocus minds at AVID, but I suspect not.
Corporate arrogance is not a good look.
Hilarious. I haven’t heard anyone say DTP in 20 years.
now I teach InDesign by the way.
Interestingly, there's nary a mention of Luna on Spitfire's website, even though they seem to be the first/only third-party sample provider so far.
