 Ivory is magnificent
by neonjohn from Connecticut, USA, June 29, 2008
Music Background: 25 year composer/sound designer
“Ivory is simply an exquisite piece of software. Running on a modest/decent system: a first generation dual 1.8Ghz G5, with 3GB RAM and a 7200 rpm FW400 drive, it works flawlessly and was easy to install. And the sound, especially the Steinway, is breathtaking. Very satisfying to play just for the joy of playing, let alone in productions. Great work Synthogy.”

"I use it all the time! Ivory is such a great tool for the recordist. I own a beautiful Steinway Model B and the embarrassing fact is that Ivory is easier to use in the studio and really sounds great!"

"I was BLOWN AWAY by Ivory. The piano samples are stunning! However, they didn't stop there. With Ivory, you get deep control over the details of the samples which gives you amazing detail and clarity."
