Hello As I am awaiting for my new hammer action midi keyboard (Hammer 88 Pro), I started to search for a good piano vst. I heard a lot of praise towards Keyscape but at the same time I saw some negatives about it. So wanted to hear what would be your opinions? Is it worth buying Keyscape? Or...

I've been rather curious about this for a while and want to ask now. But when you can recognize the samples or virtual instruments in a song, how do you generally feel about it?
