need good midi piano

[flhctroll]

Hey all. I have a band coming in this week and all we have left to do is lay a couple of piano parts. All they have is a cheap keyboard that doesn't sound that great. It has a midi out and my mackie spike has a midi in. What would be a good program to simulate piano. I am new to recording midi so this will be interesting. Any input would be appriciated. Thanks.

Check out the MDA Piano, it's not anything stellar, but it's damn good for being free.

www.mda-vst.com

Go to VST Synth, and then you'll see the link for mda Piano and mda ePiano.

Good luck.

Native instuments Akoustik piano for one
Steinberg The Grand (memory hog though)
or East West symphonic orchestra silver... Full orchestral but also a really cool piano included.


Midi keyboard, i use an M-audio keystation 49... solid as hell, cheap and does the job perfectly.

I say record the midi post the file here and someone should be able to plug that shit in for you.

I have gotten some really convincing piano sounds out of Reason.
