Hi Bachus, In my book it is no more than ok. Its a typical arranger Piano no better or worse than others from Korg or Yamaha. My beef is that if Qui and other experts can produce wonderful Piano`s from the sounds in the boards, why cannot Korg & Yamaha produce them as presets?

The difficulty is not with the preset . It’s with the sound system you are using . The piano sample itself is very good but is eq’d for use with the sound bar or it is flat and you have to do the work .

I don’t think it’s all to do with sound system, the Italian Grand is clunky and the hammer action is too pronuced at least for me and I have tried to use it through three different high quality systems, the Italian is unusable for me but I have replaced my go to acoustic piano with the Wavesart C7 sample set which suits my needs perfectly.

I'm not a skilled pianist at all, but to my ears ALL the piano's in PA4X are highly improved compared to PA3X (as are all of the sounds by the way).
In my PA3X I almost never used a factory piano except for the rock piano and the grand with moving pad.

I like the Italian Grand in PA4X a lot, in particular with a bit more reverb and accompanied by a dark pad at low volume at Up2.
In fact, thats 'My setting' at the moment.

Straight from the box the Korg Arrangers always sound very dry IMO.
Maybe Korg could add some kind of dialogue steps when starting the instrument for the first time:
- size of the room where the instrument is placed
- place in the room (next to a wall, in the middle of the room)
- sort of music you play a lot
- etcetera

and then customize the settings to those first criteria.
Some sort of steps you can also walk through when buying a TV and setting it up for the first time.
Afterwards you can of course always tweak and customize. Just an idea.

I like it but would agree that the Hammer noise is too pronounced as it is in most of the other pianos.

Qui - I also find the piano effects a bit much. Thanks for sharing how to fix it. Have always been afraid to get into the sounds with my limited knowledge.
