I've had great results customizing the sound profile of other VSTs like the Garritan CFX, Noire and other NI instruments in Kontakt, but so far I'm finding the Ravenscroft/UVI workstation to be much tougher to crack, and was wondering if others have any suggestions or tips in this regard? There's also a slight hardness and lack of bloom to the basic sound that I've tried to compensate for via the settings, but without much success. I have to apply an unnatural amount of pressure to the lower notes to cut through the mix, and it causes the whole performance to sound rather forced and unnatural. Compared to other VSTs I have, I find it really difficult to make the bass line project in a way that sounds organic. On the negative side, the lower range of the keyboard feels underpowered to me in relation to the mid and upper range. The overall playability is top-notch, and I love the una corda samples and the way you can custom mix different mic perspectives. One the plus side, the tonal clarity and sense of realism is amazing, especially in mid and upper range. After having spent a few weeks playing around with it there is a lot I like, however it also has some (for me) rather glaring weaknesses that I'm finding difficult to deal with. I took advantage of this past season's holiday sales to pick up the Ravenscroft 275 after being curious about it for a while.
