The best collection of configurable great-sounding electric pianos for the price.

In the full version of this VST, there are so many presets of great established electric piano sounds that can be tweaked and configured any way you want, including a variety of after-effects. This may not be the best electric piano VST out there, but is at the top. It is the most versatile and sounds great.
