Synthogy Ivory II American Concert D Review

This is a test run of the American Steinway D, the new piano by Synthogy.
Settings: No EQ, No Reverb, Clean Soundboard II, Linear Velocity Curve.
Other settings were set for a neutral sound. I will be more specific on my blog.
I gave it the best (most challenging) playing I could. When you play a sampled piano with no reverb and no pedal, it really shows what it is made of. Also, to dynamically glue the voice and piano together, I used a small amount of external compression and a small amount of Adaptive Limiting. In this case, I used the TRacks Black 76 Compressor and Waves L3 UltraMaximizer AdLim. Disclaimer: I did some Beta testing for Ivory, so I got this copy for free. All of my other Ivory piano's I have (happily) paid for :-)
