GBVery nice piano I took advantage of the Black Friday sale to pick up Hammer and Waves Acoustic for a very good price. I really like the instrument, and the purchase and download process was very smooth.

FRIt's an excellent choice. I was looking for a Yamaha C7 Vst library and while visiting the forums, I came across this magnificent C6 with a raw sound, very close, timbral and sufficiently bright. I don't know much about the Yamaha C6 but I often played on a real C7 in the studio and I found a great similarity with the Modern Grand from Hammer & Waves. I really appreciate Skybox Audio for their highly precise work and their configurations which offer a multitude of possibilities. However, the absence of a Velocity Silent Key and a re-pedalling system are notable. The Modern Grand by Hammer & Waves is one of the most real libraries that I have heard in Yamaha's long VST series. It's an excellent choice.

DEHammers + Waves Suitcase 73 I bought the electric bundle, because of the Suitcase 73. This is by far my favourite Rhodes VST, after trying most of the famous ones. I don't really use the adventurous effects, and stick to the natural sounding ones. I love the fact that you can add mechanical noise and impulse responses. You can make it sound as if you where in front of a actual Rhodes or studio clean. The playability is impeccable. By tweaking the velocity, you can make it bark quicker, if you have a heavy action keyboard. My favourite Rhodes VST! Great work Skybox!

GBI don't think playing this will ever get old I've been wanting to purchase for a while after seeing some ads online (Instagram). The ad was the best commercial I've ever seen, with the product being showcased through the audio, with the video just showing you the features used to make the audio in the background track. It was insanely meta and self referential and I loved every second; watched it multiple times. The track was killer as well, especially with the drop to transition from default samples to the modded sounds; the composer has mad talent. I've been playing with this pack for a couple of days after purchasing and holy crap man. The default presets are so good already and the touch feels great out of the box with my SL88 Grand. It just punches in this way that makes me feel like there's a pluck in my keys (except there's no click or notch in my keyboard's action). Suitcase 73 and UX Upright default presets are definitely my favorites. Playing this is a dream.

GBThe most innovative Piano based plugin The most innovative Piano based plugin. This is easily a must-have for anyone looking to get a truly professional piano/keyboard sound and then get a ton of other unique effects that truly make your creativity blossom. The inspiration I’ve gotten from this vst is refreshing. I’m usually very traditional with my choice of instrumentation in my compositions. This takes me outside my comfort zones. Affordable, easy customizable user interface, useful features. I’m very pleased with this design. I own other piano/electric libraries. This isn’t them, refreshing.
