SamTheBeardGuy offers his first impressions of Pianoverse, IK's new piano virtual instrument with cinematic effects. A professional pianist, Sam judges the quality of the pianos by playing them in various styles and comparing that to his experience with the real thing.

Along the way, he samples some of the presets and spaces, but is mostly interested in how the pianos sound alone. If you're wondering that too, this will satisfy your curiosity. Have a look.

It's a well-recorded library. I love having the moods, genres and styles to look through.... and if there's a sound you need, some creative things in here could be used for really niche stuff.

Spaces are where you can put your piano, which is cool. Looks like there are some interesting ones in here. It inspires me to try it because I can see the space. The iceberg I loved!
