Re: IK multimedia Pianoverse
These two videos give some idea of how these pianos (can) sound:

They sound very good to me, as the person who is pretty unfussy with pianos.
The pricing seems a little challenging to start off but not outrageously so, and I can't see the subs being very popular, but I doubt it will be too long before they start getting rolled into deals and sales.

Re: IK multimedia Pianoverse
Curious as always and quickly telling myself that one more virtual piano can't hurt, I bought the Steinway. It's not bad. Not great either, but not bad. The upper register of the keyboard is a minor disappointment to my ears. It doesn't sparkle and sounds a bit lifeless, I find.
Software is pretty good though, if a bit sluggish. Plenty of editing possibilities. A pity that most parameters affect the entire keyboard. If adjustments were possible on a per note basis, that would really take Pianoverse to a whole different level. Hopefully in an update.
Some very nice reverbs (IR's) included as well. The other included effects however (which allow you to make the instrument sound as if it was recorded somewhere in the Antartic, on Mars or on the bottom of the ocean) I haven't looked at and I have no intention of doing so either.

Nice balance of warmth, air and presence to my ears.

Re: IK multimedia Pianoverse
Sounds good to me but I have so many good pianos that it would take a miracle for me to buy another.

Re: IK multimedia Pianoverse [Max sale]
My disinterest in piano libraries continues, yet here I am because I'm an idiot.
IK are currently doing a Total Studio Max 5 upgrade from any Max product (I have TS3.5) for $99. That includes all 9 pianos in this here Pianoverse, T Racks 6, Modo Bass 2, Modo Drum 1.5, Tonex Max, 9 signature Tonex collections and unlimited trips to the salad cart.
I don't need any of it but but but but. I'm possibly interested in the opposite of Piet's focus - are there wild and esoteric piano textures in Pianoverse?
EDIT - sheesh it's $89 at jrrshop with the FORUM code.
