That Sonart site looked too good to be true ;) Read here: Maybe we should start thread about music scam sites? The second scam which comes in to my mind is Jay Destiny's stuff (for example: ).

Hey Arde, I did download the piano. It is nice and no invasive protection schemes, but probably not needed with all the other good pianos available. I don’t have any of the expensive toys, so opened the file to find the Kontakt, Halion, Gig and EXS formats. Looks like here's where they get you if you need a player. I have Extreme Sample Converter, so it took a minute to convert Giga to sfz and use the free player. Works fine. Tried first to convert to the Proteus VX format and saw an unanticipated dark side to free Proteus. Got a message that the free version won’t open such large files. To open, purchase the pro upgrade. They did the layers okay to give lots of velocities, a bit shrill in the lower ranges if you bang it hard. The previews on the page are fairly accurate minus the processing they use, but should give an indication if it’s worth the time downloading (if you have something that will play it). Best, John
