Anyway, this is what I've noticed with the two VST's I have, an excellent sampled VST (Garritan CFX ) and Pianoteq 7. But when you actually play them, play a piece, not just a single note, there is something that feels and I think sounds better with Pianoteq. Having said all of that, I would be inclined to agree that if you just play a single note, then the sound from the best sampled VST's may sound slightly better. I would suggest watching youtube videos by Phil Best to get an idea of how Pianoteq sounds when recorded well and played by a master player. If you listen to the best VST ever being played by a mediocre pianist, it's not going to sound very good. Also, I think the quality of the pianist can make a huge difference. Not sure, I do know on Pianoworld people seem to be in the "sampled" camp or the "modeled" camp, and I sometimes think their likes and dislikes are based more on that distinction than on the actual sounds. The examples that people have played for me have not sounded as good to my ears as the best sampled pianos. Lots of people like it but many hate it claiming it is artificial sounding. Pianoteq is much debated on the Pianoworld forum.
