There are no major bells and whistles for fx- EQ or ambience- just a really good sounding piano with smooth sliders for velocity (horizontal and vertical slope controls) and dynamics control to suit your controller, adjustments for increased polyphony and an on/off toggle for multiprocessor support. I do think that Ivory has a greater diversity of character and on some level a greater sophisitcation. It would be just plain mean of me to put this down just for the sake of finding something wrong with it.

These 1.63 updates contain many technical enhancements such as improved memory usage and better overall performance. Ivory 1.6 features new preset browsers and sample-accurate rendering among other items.

The Ivory 1.63 updates for Mac and Windows include our latest plug-in version 1.63, and it is highly recommended that all users download and install one or more of the 1.63 updates. The Ivory 1.63 Updates are now available! Lots of samples streaming at once- 12 layers x 88 keys and the whole lot x 2 for 'una corda' samples (aka: the soft pedal) Not sure what that's all about because I've ported the samples over to a Raptor 10k drive and lowered the polyphony and still get the warning. But the one and only thing that worries me about Ivory is the "disk too slow" warning. Ivory is wonderful, of course, and is my go-to piano VI exclusively. It should fare VERY well on a MacPro.įrodo wrote:This is really impressive. I'm going to give it a try! This looks really promising- the demo video sounds pretty good and it doesn't break the bank or the CPU. Otherwise, the company presupposes that all users will want/need all updates. That way, the user can decide if they really need to get version 1.6 or if they'd just want to wait until 2.3 is released.

I'd rather they did what most other developers do- and that's to support the customer throughout any given build-point series (ie: 1.0 through 1.9) with a nominal fee to upgrade to 2.0, etc., at the time of the update release. If that's the WUP-side, then the upside is that a $180 list price ought not amount to anything too unmanageable.

so, I'm not quite sure how/if that system will work. The idea of just going according to individual date of purchase seems to defeat the purpose when updates get released. The idea of developers working according to calendars where support is critical doesn't sit well. Also, it could get a little sloppy where one person buys the VI in its first month, and another person buys it in its 10th month, and both pay a fee after 12 months for what appears to be an annual membership more than an as-needed support system. Not so cool- they could easily release an update on day 366 and nab a fee. Because of this, I'm not quite sure of how it's structured- where the numbers of velocity layers usual make or break the success of a playable virtual piano. That's a lot of sophisticated data at your fingertips at once. Non-streaming? This is easily the most remarkable quality of all. If the audio from video is to be believed, the instrument appears to have plenty of beef and sparkle. The sustain duration on any virtual piano are a clear giveaway- many just roll off way too quickly. Lots of samples streaming at once- 12 layers x 88 keys and the whole lot x 2 for 'una corda' samples (aka: the soft pedal).
