I’ve played two different Piano sounds on the Pa1000. Please tell me which sound you prefer. Here’s the link.

Oh, I shouldn’t forget to mention that I’’m not a classic player, just played to demonstrate the sounds.

Great video and nicely played. I can’t hear much of a difference but am leaning toward B.
You are very talented and obviously interested in getting the best sound.
Don’t forget you can add a whole bunch of new pianos for free. Follow the links in this YouTube demo if you are interested.

Piano a and piano B are they factory pianos or something you made up or you downloaded from the Internet somewhat I could see they do not look like what came with the PA 1000 I could be wrong I've been wrong many times before so tell me more are they factory pianos with factory samples from the PA 1000 or something different both pianos sound nice

I like the sound of piano b both are good ones cleaner sounding the ones little more muddy sounding but you would pay them in different situations I have done what you have done with my PA4 and my pa1000 , side-by-side same amp same EQ no effects and sat there for hours playing one keyboard one note then trying it on the other one they were very close friends of mine they could not tell the difference if you're really looking for a good piano sound you need a dedicated keyboard and if you plan rock 'n' roll and jazz the notes go by so fast it's tough to tell the difference so which one do you like that's the question tell me that a or B.
Inside of my PA4x they have a nice Italian. Piano it sounds very clean and you get here the strings I wish I could copy those samples onto my PA1000.

I Dont know, why this comparison. That kind of keyboards are not for that.
From my side I prefer the A version, and in some places B version.
It depends how they were played in realtime. Anyway I think that arranger keyboards are not suitable for that comparison. You can choose that setting what you like for more, but for me - you can compare different piano sounds from different (electrical pianos) facturers (Yamaha, Roland etc.). For me there is no difference. I prefer the Real (acoustic) Piano and then we can compare witch is better and it depends, who is tunet it.

Yes i see the difference if You wanna just compare the piano sample sounds.
But i do not agree using for that half of the RAM of the instrument. It is the taste of honey and what music what you prefer for performance. Yes i try to make good piano samples and sound below 60 MB and the same is with Electric organ sounds, but i should keep the RAM memory for other samplings and sounds. It is for me not a computer with no limitations.

If you want a real acoustic piano in a poor user PCM samples Ram arranger then you have the following options :
1) Use sample modeling technique , very hard to achieve without being an expert sound developer , simulating natural
duration and velocity layers devoting 50 - 100 Mb of compressed Ram with per semitone sampled piano notes.
2) Using authentic acoustic piano per semitones sampled notes within at least 4 velocity layers at a size over 220 Mb
compressed PCM size as tyros2013 did with obvious results that would be better with samples per semitone and
fewer velocity layer samples ...

Wavesart has already in circulation a real acoustic piano C7 for Pa4X/Pa1000 of 225 Mb compressed Ram size

although IMO Pa1000 61 keybed do not deserve it !
