Re: VSTi piano - or other laptop synth

[mark sottilaro <zerocrossing2001@yahoo.com>]

If you're really into real piano I doubt you'll be
happy with any of the software mentioned.  Your best
bet is to save and get a kick ass sampler like
Kontakt.  It comes with a few very good pianos IMO
(though I'm probably not the most picky when it comes
to piano sounds)

The one piece of gear I miss the most when I did what
you're doing was my ROMpler (a Roland XV-5050)  I'd
say try out the software at your favorite local music
store or friends house before you buy just in case.
