Okay, I joined this forum this evening to hear what people thought about IVORY. I haven't worked with Grand, though I've thought about adding it to my sounds.

My experience with IVORY: I upgraded my computer because my old G4 iMac just couldn't handle it. So on my new G5 iMac I maxed it out with 2GB RAM and it runs brilliantly.

I have to say that I am most impressed with the Steinway samples, with the Yamaha coming in second. Sadly, the Bosendorfer is the most disappointing of them all. I especially looked forward to it since I played an acoustic one for a while years ago.

There's not much to IVORY's software, it's rather simple in fact, but I can't seem to do anythng to make the Bosendorfer sound better. The tops and the bottoms are great, but the mids seem twangy and muffled, especially when playing a complex chord structure.

Has anyone been as disappointed with these Bosendorfer samples? Changing velocity tends to improve the voicing some, but it still doesn't help the problem.
