Here are all the demos from our PlayIvorys.com site.

I am not a great pianist but these demoes are not about performance as much as sample quality and to give users an idea of some of the great piano samples available. If you submit me a midi file of piano only I may use it to generate more demos to critique the samples using a variety of velocity and other midi control information.

All demos presented below use no additional effects or EQ other than what is in the preset program provided by the vendor. No additional proceessing was done and all recordings were done in Sonar 5 or Sonar 6 and saved as an 192K MP3 for your listening. Others who rendered for me may be using a different sequencer software. If you have any questions about a particular sampleset or setup just write us.

Demo1 - is an original composition that was performed on Ivory and then the midi file used on all other versions with no edits.

Demo2 - is an arrangement of the hymn by Andoiram Gordon called My Jesus, I Love Thee. It was recorded origianlly on Ivory using the stock patch German Concert D 10.

Demo3 -  is an excerpt of The Solid Rock Hymn. The purpose of this demo is simply to place the piano in a mix. It was recorded using the NI Akoustik Piano Bechstein D 280. I find that this piano works with Pop or Rock but not very well with slow intimate arrangements for my play. If you are interested in the instruments used here you go - drums are Moon Drums (played by Phil Brannan great job) - bass is Trilogy - strings and horns are IK Multimedia Philharmonik. This is for reference only how many mix version demos that will be done will probably be few but I may add one for different pianos from time to time.

Demo4 - is simple piano performed on William Coakley's Perfect Piano D359C originally. It concentrates in the mid section on the piano mostly.  It is a variation of the hymn It is well with my soul feel free to compare the pianos.

Demo5 - is some worship piano performed on Ivory Bosendorfer originally. It plays some warm parts in the mid-lower register some compare. I especially like the warm and smooth transitions shown on the Coakley 359C.  Feel free to comment and compare.

Demo6 - is the hymn I am thine O Lord performed on the Coakley FantomXR Hamburg D107 Piano.  This demo really shows the soft play of the piano.  Listen closely to how the some pianos back away when going from loud to soft.   The controller used to record this was an Yamaha Motif ES X8.

Demo7 - is the short arrangement of Vince Guaraldi's Christmas Time is Here performed on the TruePiano Sapphire Piano.  This demo has a small track drums in the background which may help show the piano in a mix a little.  Listen closely to the new module.
