NeoSoulKeys vs Colossus EP inapp?
I have NSK, but it doesn’t sound as detailed and immediate as Crudebyte’s Colossus electric piano pack. Any opinions before I buy it? Maybe I am not hearing right. Thanks.
Comments
oh boy.
I can say this, well, I bought it.
I don’t use it.
I think UVi is top line for instruments on iOS or PC.
Neo just took up too much room and I found much menu diving for what seemed like very similar things.
Effects are not done in way(GUI) that add to the creative process for me.
NSK just never hit me for my style app in form and function.
There are some amazing sounds on it.
For the size it takes I can get them out of BeatHawk with Klevgrand aAU FX in more desirable fashion.
I am using Digitone for most Tines and EP stuff as well.
And never got Col.
Thanks @RUST( i )K. I have only recently gotten interested in EPS. NSK seems kind of thin soundwise to me. Hence I am searching for something fuller. Module is pretty good for EPS but no midi out. Since I make most tracks from midi info now that doesn’t work. The five EPS in Colossus use 1.5 gbs, so that indicates something, right? Only seventeen presets altogether. I will look at digitone. That is new to me.
Colossus EP's include *every* Electronic Piano type with a few options of each:
Rhodes of course
Wurlitzer
Yamaha E-piano
Clavinet
and another early EP I don't recognize (someone else might)
Colossus offers a velocity/touch curve and Hermode tuning (micro tuning adjustments based upon chord analysis... tweaking the pitch of the 3rds for more sonorous overtone alignment but probably useless for complex jazz harmonies).
I prefer it over the Neo Soul but I like my Rhodes to be bell-like and most prefer some bite and dirt so Neo Soul gets better reviews. I never loved the Yamaha EP as a piano substitute but this one seems useful in the age of everything synthesized it offers an excellent velocity sensitive sound option in the toolkit. The clav's are good.
The Colossus Reverb is really good to my ears. The App can import MIDI and record audio. It is an AUv3 App but be *warned* like all the Crudebyte Apps if the sample size gets large it can cause DAW's to enforce the 340MB RAM limit and dump the instance. These EP samples are not that large but the big pianos are worthless as AUv3 and should be used as IAA. The Colossus App accepts IAA MIDI *and* optionally CoreMIDI. You can buy the EP soundset and no other pianos.
@McD You're back! Listen to Adagio and MikroMuzik. Two versions of the same midi track.
and, what about this...

NSK sounds great to me. Because it has a lot of options and many sample sets, it took me a while to set up a couple of Rhodes sounds that matched what I was after. One of the things, I hadn't fully appreciated until I got NSK (and then did some research) was how different some of the Rhodes models sounded from one another. In my opinion, NSK is a lot better than its presets indicate. I have no experience with Colossus. So, maybe it is even better. But, NSK is so satisfying for me that I don't feel a need to further optimize.
@LinearLineman (or anyone else) Sorry to hijack your thread a little, but do you have the 2 uprights in Colossus. If so, which if either do you recommend?
The electric piano in the yamaha synth and drum pad app sounds really good to my ears,and you can add fx’s.really nice chorus too.
I don't have them but I'd love to hear opinions. Personally I can't think of music where I'd prefer the Upright limitations for string resonance. I'll hear someone like Sarah McLaughlin record a song with a typical house upright and wish it was recorded with MIDI so I could swap out for RC 275 or PianoTeq.
