I compared the True Piano to the PianoTeq.

I thought the True Piano had a larger more realistic sound and the dynamics/response was greater with more tonal change depending on how hard the keys are played.

PianoTeq was thin in the midrange.

I think Ivory and True Pianos sound quite different as well. True pianos sounds fuller and deeper in the bass.

Ivory has less dynamics than True Pianos and not as full a sound but brighter on top and cleaner.

With a little eq in the lower midrange I think True Piano will sound like Ivory but maybe better?

Any more thoughts.
