The results are right below, you can judge by yourself! So, I quickly googled for a good MIDI of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, and run it through all these libraries. What did I test to check for these libraries quality? The most important thing I was looking for, besides the actual sound of course, is dynamics. Please note that these are the ones I found out 5 years ago, at the end of this post there’s a quick “state-of-the-art” check for 2020. Grand Piano 1 SE included in Sampletank 3 by ikmultimedia ( now simply Sampletank Custom Shop).Piano In 162 by Ivy Audio ( in SFZ format).Here’s list of the best ones I found out: That being said, what if I need a good piano and I don’t have any money to afford a paid version of Kontakt Library or VSTi? When I prepared this post 5 years go, I really struggled to find good ones, because there are tons of piano libraries but very few of them are good enough ( and don’t need full version of Kontakt). As you can imagine, this statement puts out of the way every third party Kontakt library because if you want to use the free Kontakt Player, you have to stick with Native Instruments “official” libraries, which of course don’t include any piano for free. Anyway, the main question behind this post was “Is there any good free piano sample library/VSTi?” and with the word “free” I mean totally free. It’s time to wrap it up and maybe also do a little update, 5 years in the world of sampled instruments are like a whole new era. This post is a long due on my schedule, I prepared everything during mid 2015 and then…nothing.
