Hi,
Guys who use software (e.g. samples or pianoteq) to play electric piano
| keyboard. How do you have your setup? Do you have a special amp for
the electric piano or do you just play it via your monitors? What gives
a better sound? If you have it via a special amp how do you connect it
to your computer?
Regards,

I do have an e-piano with speakers, so if I'm lazy, I just use it as-is.
Otherwise my setup is via usb cable (no midi ports) -> alsa midi ->
LinuxSampler -> non-mixer -> jconvolver -> non-mixer -> monitors &
recording software.
Hard to say what sounds better. I have issues with the e-pianos analogue
out (only headphone out, and apparently my stereo plug doesn't fit
properly + noisy anyway).
The piano through its speakers sounds fine, and so does LS and the likes
through the monitors.

Hello,
No special setup, I use either my headphones or my monitor speakers.
Just like Philipp I use LinuxSampler, he uses Non-Mixer though, I use
Qtractor as a mixing console.
Best,

I use a good sound card with RCA outs, a ground-loop filter, and an
RCA-->1/4" converter, and play through a 1962 Epiphone vacuum-tube
amplifier usually. I had never heard a piano cry, before doing this. I
also sometimes record direct to hard drive, and play direct through
house PA.

Should be able with a m-audio audiophile too. Hmm I would
think the
sound would be better with a decent keyboard app vs. studio monitors...

Its only going to sound as good as your samples. So long as your not using
total junk speakers,
I'd really worry more about your PianoTeq setup, or your .gig files for
QSampler.
Admittedly a home sound system will colour the sound differently than
monitors. But if its just
for playing live, get a sound you like and enjoy it. :-)
