Incredible
This is the best Grand piano VST I have tried. It sounds natural and big as it should.

Piano sound on request
A piano tone tailored to the light music genre, nothing more, nothing less.Don't substitute it for a real instrument when comparing.

Ravel Piano
Best sounding piano VST I have ever heard, very rich and natural sound, nice response and action & dynamics, play's smooth and with inspiration.
L. Spilger
Beautiful!
Since I got the Ravel it‘s my goto piano. I have the impression it reacts more responsive than other Pianos when playing. And it‘s easier to get it sitting in busy mixes.

sounds too good!!

UA does it again!
Wow!
The adjustable mic positions for room life, the reverse verb sound design possibilities and what a piano sound, smooth and natural. Don't need anything else for a good recording environment. Thanks UA! Way to go, thanks to keep the good work done Mr. Putnam.
Found my last piano to work with for playing, recording and mixing. Ouffff!!! ...

Not Good
Sounds like somebody made a perfect recording of a Steinway with a down comforter thrown over it.
C. Özdemir
Not variable
Every single plugin i own from ua is outstanding. unfortunately not this plugin. if you want exactly that one sound, it's good. otherwise it is not so variable.
J. Welch
Disappointed
Any chance I could have my money back? Too much mid-range muddiness and room tone. Gets too crowded when playing lots of notes.

Amazing Sound , Ready for Action !

Some good elements but leaves a lot to be desired
Hoping a new piano will be uploaded for Spark. This is useable in mixes, but alone it leaves so much to be desired. No full sounds or real punch - quite a plastic sound.
A. Ruoff
actually I’m thrilled by the products of UAD Plugs
ravel didn’t satisfy my expectations!
L. Grubišić-Čabo
Must have upgrade
After seeing the results of the Light version and the satisfaction of academic piano players using the free version in my studio the only logical step was to buy this full version.
S. Aagaard
The best
There is no pianosoftware sounding as real and perfect like this in my opinion - its a must have.
A. Pütz
Great Steinway Sound
This PlugIn gives you a great Steinway sound. Great to use in Pop/Rock or Jazz productions.

You have to bring it
In today’s virtual piano world one Company is the benchmark — Spectrasonics. And Ravel falls far below this standard. This plugin is deceptively priced. UAD makes great products; this isn’t one of them. Get Keyscape instead.

Reverse is added texture
I was running a VSL imperial on a project I’m working on but swapped it out with Ravel to compare the textures. Suffice to say this is now a perm fixture in my template! Try it you will buy it!

You Made Me Buy It
UA, you made me buy this by resetting my demo. When I finally got to try it, I wasn't expecting much since I already have lots of good piano sounds. But there is something about this one... it has a heft and weight to it that just feels substantial. It's that same UA ineffable quality that makes me buy their products -- there's just a "feel" to it that others don't have. I spent almost an hour doing an A/B with 6 other high end piano sounds, trying to talk myself out of it.
The bottom line for me is that this instrument is very playable. Anything that feels more like play and less like work is worth it. And it sits in the mix nicely. In a dense mix, I have to do a high pass filter on it, otherwise it will take up too much space. But it's always better to subtract than to add something that's not there!
I always thought the UA instruments were a novelty, but this is going to be a workhorse for me.
