Keyboard and Piano plugins

ewal

I'm looking for a reasonably priced keyboard and piano plugin for use in Reaper - I used to have a few free ones I used on Windows, I've not yet been able to replace now I've moved to a Mac Mini.

This appears to cover everything I want/need. Any other obvious options?

Have a look at Pluginguru Unify, much much more than just a piano VST, but it does that very well as well.
Best VST purchase I ever made, IMO, in the last 3 years or so.

Pianoteq or Keyscape are both good.

Try Spitfire Audio "LABS" ... it's free and there are couple of nice piano sample packs in there (as well as a pile of useful weird stuff)

All good options - think LABS might be a good place to start - cheap and not too much to distract me from basic sounds.

I used Piano One on Windows - I think I might've found a MacOS compatible version.

I tried LABS, however it seemed very quiet and had to re-install once - don't want something that's unreliable...

I then started to think about NI options - Noire, Grandeur, etc. However my basic playing doesn't justify the expense, which would soon mount up if I needed one or two of the models.

So ended up buying the Sonivox Essential Keyboard Collection - it has all the sounds I'm after for £30. Hopefully that'll do the trick for the moment.

Dexed is great if you like the DX7 like me & it’s free .

Piano One is on that list - which is what I used an liked on Windows. I'll get round to getting it on to my Mac.
