    How much space do we need on our hard drive for this piano?

    All of it.

     the system requirements ask for 60 MB free space on your harddisk - installed size is 46.7 GB

    in case this questions also come up:

    RAM 3 GB, available free (real) memory: 1.5 GB

    processor: any INTEL core model (core duo, core 2 duo, core 2 quad, i7, XEON) or INTEL/AMD single processor >= 3 GHz

    as usual: VST (OS X, Windows XP/Vista/7), AU (OS X) or RTAS (OS X) compatible host - also works stand-alone

    christian, i intensely pray you forgot something - please don´t tell me imperial will not run on my g5 quad...

    if you have to tell me, please give me ten minutes, i have to eat a family package of prozac first.

    i gave you 20, but all i can tell is, that fluoxetine generally is not recommended ...

    Wow, looks and sounds great. I guess octave shifts and transposition will be your friends in reaching those extra keys.

    We have a first great demo by Jay Bacal which I will set online tomorrow.

    And if everything works smooth with replication we could start shipping in ca. 2 weeks.

    Demo is up, Etude in C# by Alexander Skrjabin.

    Sounds great!!!, I agree.

    Sorry if I missed that:

    Will Imperial load easily in Ensemble PRO/(3) on a slave PC (64bit) and stream over ethernet to my G5 like the other Instruments?

    that's one of the ideas ;-) Vienna Imperial is not like the usual Vienna Instruments Libraries, but working as plugin within VE PRO

    Wow Jay! It's beyond me how someone who doesn't play the piano is able to give so much realism to a performance. I think you must of been a pianist in a former life.... And of course your great musicality gave the Vienna Imperial what it needed: a nice range of dynamics with all the emotion around it.

    Really sounds great.  Sounds like the real thing.  I'll need to hear a demo with the other "perspectives" to seal the deal for me as that's what I would be using most often.  This demo sounds like the "distant" setting, correct?  If you could post the same Etude with the "close" and "player" perspective, that would help a lot.  

    Thanks,

    Amazing to me:  this piano (the etude) sounds NOTHING like the first demo you posted earlier in the thread.  Is it just the different perspective that's making it sound different?

     Right, it's the distant mike position.

    Jay has sent me now also a close mike rendering, I'll add this version to the Download Tutorial.
