It will be exciting to see how it's tone compares to Pure. I'm hoping they offer a nice range of instruments to said:īut they are all worth owning if piano is your thing. The results of the "Piano World Cup" will be helpful for more people to see which piano has the best overall tone for solo piano and which is the runner up.īut they are all worth owning if piano is your thing. You can really dial in a very intimate super gentle hammer sound that has a nice, soft "thump". it puts it into the heavily "felted" piano category and any setting near that lower right corner is like a treated piano. The Percussive setting for Pure is pretty unique. They call all get the AUM treatment with Blackhole and such. The first Ivory Grand was pretty lack luster but this one is smooth and has a lot of excellent presets for dark, ambient, bright, etc. For me it's #2 behind Pure and ahead of Ravenscroft.Īnd Ravenscroft is amazing so that speaks volumes for Korg's 3rd party option with Ivory. It's got a lot of the smooth mids that make Pure sound so good.
I think your not giving Ivory's American D enough attention.
