If the pictures from motu's site are to be believed, it looks like a Hamburg Steinway:

Not at all, Dwetmaster. TruePianos is going to serve you well because it does things that some piano libraries larger than 8GB will do.Dwetmaster wrote:Like I said in The other Thread:

Think of the M5v2 piano more as part of the package rather than an isolated instrument to replace all else. It may sound quite good, no doubt, but I've yet to hear an imported sampled piano that was quite as effective overall as the better rompler counterparts whose interfaces were designed for a less "universal" purpose.
If the M5v2 piano was on par with something like Ivory, I would sooner think that MOTU and its users would find value in it as a standalone rival instrument.
For that matter, the nice VSL samples are another bonus-- but without the Vienna Performance Tools designed to go with them as part of its own rompler, shaping the samples into convincing phrases takes considerable extra work in K2 and M5.
TruePianos will go far on large projects where resources required by M5 can be used for other purposes.

I noticed they didn't include a pic of my marching band Steinway Baby Grand; have you got one, Billy?billf wrote:Here's the photo from the brochure:fw3857 wrote:Bosendorfer?

Dang, no mention of the "Monkey Sessions" patches, not even the venerated 3rd World March-by recordings.
No matter. They're bound to be in there somewhere.

It's probably planned as a special event announcement at NAMM because the demand is so high for the Monkey Sessions.monkey man wrote:I noticed they didn't include a pic of my marching band Steinway Baby Grand; have you got one, Billy?

Dang, not only did I white-out every camera lens I could find on the day, but I confiscated all cell 'phones.Frodo wrote:And here's a pic from behind the scenes at the sessions:billf wrote:It's probably planned as a special event announcement at NAMM because the demand is so high for the Monkey Sessions.monkey man wrote:I noticed they didn't include a pic of my marching band Steinway Baby Grand; have you got one, Billy?
