I know this has been done before
And i know its in vst
But im really asking about both refills and vst.
Lets compile a list of free acoustic pianos or inexpensive that are actually available.
Sonic flavours free demo

And of course we know all about these ones

https://www.productionmusiclive.com/blo ... no-plugins

But have i missed any great little refills or Vst ?
Come lets have a new fresh list

Many different pianos, community effort, hosted by Christian Henson.
Mostly for ESX24 and Kontakt.

If anyone can come up with a NNXT version, that'd be great..

It's good if you avoid the high velocities and add some release in the plugin. My favorite free (in Reason included) piano is "B GrandPiano 1.0.sxt" though - but you need to reduce the resonance between 300-400 Hz a bit if you want it to shine solo.

Its so annoying that people only make these for expensive samplers and not something like sforzando or something , i really don't get what the point of being free is to earn companies like kontakt a lot of money these people are giving up there time to earn ni and apple money whats the point ? Those look good but ill never buy kontakt and i get what your saying the good free pianos resonate a bit too much higher on so i just cut a bit out with the loss pass

ESX24 is Logic's free included sampler, so.. and Kontakt, well it's Kontakt and a staple in music production. I'm pretty sure you can download the raw samples somewhere and make a NNXT contribution.

Regarding your last sentence: I mean that my favorite Reason piano patch "B GrandPiano 1.0.sxt" has too much resonance, so you need to dial down a bit between 300-400Hz with a bell EQ.

How hard would it be how long would it take to import into nnxt?

and yeah i knew what u was saying sometimes i low pass it to make it softer.
I like the sonic flavours home piano free refill , i saved the nnxt patches out of it you only need to buy if you want combinators which i dont really like, i like the nnxt patches and changing them myself.
Besides i wouldnt know how to import libaries into nnxt is it easy anyone can anyone here do it ?

Why dont you start a new post with a link asking if anyone can do it how easy is it , i know what your saying about the samplers.

but i think people who are making these should think

“oh im doing people a favour im giving them a free piano”

which there not really to a lot of people , because the people that crack will go for the best ones and the people that dont will just go for the ones that dont require kontakt ( if they dont have it wont they .
If i had the money for kontakt im sure i could get a great piano cheaper why would i use free ones ? I dont see the point of free stuff for a sampler that costs hundreds of pounds

Yeah, weird to make this available to two of the most popular and widely used software samplers in history, lol. :roll:

Yeah I guess that's what they're supposed to sound like. Muffled and soft.
