Critic Reviews

Sampleson says that its 60MB modelled grand piano plugin “sounds like a 30GB one” | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Sampleson's MetaPiano VST plugin offers an impressively lightweight package at just 60MB, promising the rich sound quality of a much larger 30GB instrument. Built using spectral modeling from Japanese grand piano samples, it features no AI or loops, with full note decay and adjustable mechanical noise and reverb levels. While its compact size and affordable $59 introductory price are attractive, the lack of velocity switching might leave some purists wanting. Overall, MetaPiano is a solid option for those seeking a balance between storage efficiency and sound authenticity.
