    I can't believe how good it sounds. It uses like 40% CPU on my 10th gen laptop but its so worth it. :)

    Try KORG EP-1. I tried it some time ago, it is the best virtual Rhodes I've heard. Especially impressive considering it's not sampled. This is exactly what I always thought the future would be - and it feels like it has finally arrived.

    I think its combination of sampling and synthesis. Check the size of installed vst3 file. Its 2GB+
    The one from Pianoteq is not sampled and its 5mb.

    "The electric piano sound engine EP-1 first appeared in 2011 in KORG's flagship workstation synthesizer, KRONOS. It adopted the newly developed MDS (Multi-Dimensional Synthesis) technology which expresses smooth and dynamic tonal changes finely corresponding to key touch, something previous sample playback methods could not achieve. In 2017, it was featured in the top-tier Korg stage piano Grandstage, and in 2021, a new electric piano model was added to the NAUTILUS workstation. This plugin version now features the latest EP-1 sound engine and has received new voicing, making it the definitive Electric Piano sound engine.

    The overwhelmingly realistic sound and dynamic expression of EP-1 will stir the player's soul and unleash deep emotional responses. Experience the latest EP-1 sound engine and expand your creative horizons."

    "EP1: In contrast to the acoustic pianos, the electro‑mechanical pianos generated by the new EP1 engine are based on a resynthesis method that appears to be similar to the Structured Adaptive Synthesis that powered Roland's RD pianos in the late 1980s. In this, parameters are derived from the pre‑analysis of samples, and sounds are then rebuilt from these in real time when you play. "

    Reducing oversample from 4x to 2x I went from 30/31% CPU to 18%

    The only options I can see for oversampling are ''use trim pot settings in performance'' ''2x'', and ''4x''. Its default on ''use trim''.

    Nvm you can select either 2x or 4x oversampling in trim pot settings. Using 2x only uses only 25% cpu vs like 37% in 4x but it doesn't matter I'm only using once instance anyway its not like I'm going to make a real time project with it. So I'm just using 4x for the ultimate quality and the ultimate sound.

    select "always use x2". About the resizing, you can't do it with mouse, only in settings.
