Hi all Sorry for my bad english I have an Asus laptop ( i7, SSD disk, windows seven 64 bits.) with Cubase 6 and Eastwest orchestra (silver) on a 'd:' partition so I m able to re-install quickly windows if crash, using 'True Image', with an USB3 external disk. This complete installation works well. I use a M-audio small keyboard. The problem begin here: I bought 'Giant piano' (download iso + 'The_Giant_100.exe') Also installed Kontakt 5. 1) when I run 'The_Giant_100.exe' the first surprising thing is that for 'library Destination Folder' need. 0 MB for 'Required Disk Space' 2) I choose library directory ( 'd:' ) and, finally, it create 'd: The Giant Library' but there is absolutely nothing in! 3) I decided to copy directory files from iso disc 'The Giant Library Part 1.pkg' and 'The Giant Library Part 2.pkg' into the library directory (d 4) if I use Kontakt 5 directly or using Cubase, I can t see any piano in.

What s wrong in my work? --- OK, I download again and make an iso disk and it work. Click to expand.You need to provide more information. Were you able to download the Giant program? Without a serial number it runs in demo mode but at least it runs.

It does not run at all without a version of Kontakt 5. Do you have either Kontakt 5 full or Kontakt 5 Player installed? Do not bother with Cubase until you have The Giant installed and running in stand-alone mode however when everything is operating properly Kontakt is the plug-in you look for when using Cubase then you will choose The Giant from within Kontakt. You won't ever see The Giant listed as a separate VST. It is always accessed from within Kontakt just like you will not see anything in the Kontakt library listed as a separate VST to open in a DAW. If activating the serial number is all you are needing to do then you would be able to open The Giant in Kontakt and use it demo mode as a stand-alone program.

From your description it doesn't look like you are at that point yet.

You have Kontakt, so why not trying Galaxy Vintage D? Pianoteq is nice, too, but it´s not sampled!

The piano plugin I use mostly is Piano One, the great thing is the fact it is free! And I like it even more than Galaxy or Pianoteq, but it depends what I do, if I play classical stuff, I prefer Galaxy Vintage D, but also here it depends on what I play, if I play e.g.

A Nocturne, I prefer Piano One again;) Yamaha P80 of course is way better than any plugin, although Yamaha uses samples, as well. Yamaha S90 has the best piano I ve ever heard! My list Galaxy Vintage D for Van Beethoven, Sonatas (Chopin), or Etudes (Chopin), Abdullah Ibrahim Rachmaninow Pianoteq Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Satie, Preludes (Chopin), Miles Davis, Roy Ayers Piano One Mazurkas and Nocturnes (Chopin), Mozart, Bach, Ludwig Schuncke, Pop and R&B, eletro (dance) & house, Stevie Wonder But when I play a Yamaha S90, these plugins do not exist any more for me!

And NI´s 'The Giant' is a nice and special piano plugin! And Kontakt´s Upright piano is not bad, either, but NI´s piano Grand series is not very good. I've been chasing piano vst's for a while, and Piano One is pretty good. Download ragni of karampal sharma.

I have to play with the 'lid' settings (really, nothing more than high-end roll off) to keep it from sounding too sparkly. It's built off a Yamaha C7, and those things are bright enough in the natural world. Bigcat Instruments City Piano (is a freeware goodie sampled off a Baldwin grand, and it's formatted for VST, Kontakt, SampleTank and sfz. It sounds really good, but it's really sample intense. 4 velocity layers in round robin.

It'll eat up your hard drive. The piano plugin I use mostly is Piano One, the great thing is the fact it is free!
