One of my favorite examples of a premium high-end piano plugin is the Native Instruments collaboration with Alicia Keys aptly titled “Alicia’s Keys” which runs within Native Instruments’ infamous Kontakt sampler, which retails at £89, and that’s not including the Kontakt 6 software itself, which itself retails at a hefty £359. In this article, I’ll help you navigate past the trash and straight to some of the best and most usable piano VSTs/MIDI keyboard software. Some of the free ‘virtual pianos’ out there are mind-bogglingly incredible (and won’t require an expensive re-tune every year!), but unfortunately, some of them leave a lot to be desired. If you’ve ever spent an hour or two (or ten) flicking through a library of snares or kickdrums to find the one perfect sound for your drum rack, the likelihood of you having the same issue with pianos is probably rather high.
