4FRONT PIANO

4Front Technologies made a big splash in the early days of VST instruments with their simple yet effective keyboard instruments, starting with 4Front Piano. Intended as a quick solution for musicians looking for a good virtual piano, it was released at a time when most piano options were based on enormous multisample collections for premium software samplers. 4Front Piano is a small, low-overhead plug that combines synthesis and samples to provide a good sound while also saving CPU cycles. It isn’t the finest piano, but if you want to recapture the days of banging away on the old joanna at your grandad’s, it’ll do the trick. yohng.com/software.html
