If you’re mainly interested in ‘big players’ included in Keyscape (like the LA Custom C7 piano, for example) there’s the option of a 30GB ‘lite’ install. At a total of 77GB, Keyscape is certainly a big library, although when you consider than many of the 36 instruments have been sampled with up to 32 velocity levels as well with round robins, you can actually see that the space has been used effectively, rather than just being squandered.Īs you’d expect, Keyscape benefits from a healthy RAM allocation (8GB is the recommended standard, but we tested it with 64GB) and access to an SSD drive, but there is a Thinning button to lighten the load on older computers or on slower HDs, as well as a variety of options to fine-tune how Keyscape streams its sample data.
#Spectrasonics trilian review download#
Keyscape is available as a download direct from the Spectrasonics site, or as boxed edition, with the content supplied on two USB drives.
Scan the list of instruments and you’ll be impressed by the comprehensive set of electromechanical and acoustic pianos, or the host of intriguing additions like the Dulcitone and Chimeatron, but does Keyscape really raise the bar over what many players have access to already? Thanks for the Memory The concept is simple – an exhaustive library of 36 sought-after ‘collector’ keyboards painstakingly multisampled and presented in an Omnisphere-like interface. Given this supreme attention to detail, the fact that Keyscape has been almost 10 years in the making shouldn’t really come as a great surprise to us. From the task of sampling a range of acoustic and electronic sound sources, through to creating a creatively rewarding virtual instrument – not to mention all the presets required to show all of this off – Spectrasonics has demonstrated perfection is time-intensive task.
In truth, instruments like Omnisphere, Trillian and Stylus RMX are all products of years of investment. However, the task of crafting a world-class virtual instrument with thousands of presets isn’t something you can roll off the production line every few months. Having waited almost four years to move from Omnisphere 1.5 to version 2, it would be fair to say that Spectrasonics doesn’t exactly like to rush its creative process.
