No heavyweight piano library is going to run on your iPhone (yet.), but Ivory II's requirements are not so bad. Minimum hardware spec is a 2GHz dual‑core PowerPC G5, a 1.8GHz Intel Core Duo, or a similar equivalent processor as a minimum. You'll also need at least 1.5GB RAM and 22GB free space on a 7200rpm hard drive. As with all libraries of this nature, you'll have a much nicer time of it if your computer is better specified, but on the face of it, at least, owners of older computers are not excluded. Software requirements are OS 10.4.11 or later, and Windows XP SP2 (32-bit), Vista (32- or 64-bit) or 7 (32- or 64-bit). Installation is from 11 dual‑layer DVDs, so you can't do without an optical drive.
While the hours‑long process of feeding all those future coasters into your computer is never going to be scintillating, I do commend Synthogy for making it as trouble‑free as possible. You can choose to put the bulky sample files where you like, such as on an external drive, and no subsequent fiddling around with aliases or shortcuts is required. Additionally, on the Mac there's a dedicated installer application that lets you pause installation if, for example, you should suddenly need your optical drive for another task, or you want to spread it out over a couple of days. What will be less welcome for some is Ivory II's reliance on an iLok USB dongle for copy protection, especially as one isn't included in the box. Still, the on-line registration and licence-transfer procedure is at least straightforward, and very clearly explained.

Ivory II - Grand Pianos: What makes it different?

Robin Bigwood, Sound On Sound Magazine 'I've reviewed quite a number of piano sample libraries over the years, and some top flight stage pianos too.
All of them have been good in their own way, but only a very few have felt as mature and musically rewarding as Ivory II Grand Pianos does. It ticks all the boxes: sound quality, playability, flexibility. Dvd Rw Driver Windows Xp. And then it ticks a few more: reliability, efficiency, ease of use.
This is industry standard, production ready software that's a joy to have around. There's little else to say. Just go and play it.' Read the full review. Stephen Fortner, Keyboard Magazine 'Superb. Best in class.
Pick a superlative, and it won’t adequately convey how real Ivory II sounds, nor how immersed in the music you’ll feel when playing it. If you do a lot of productions that call for piano, I could see wanting additional plug-in colors on your palette; if you just need the occasional rock piano, I could see going less expensive. But if you want one software piano that can cover any musical genre, is equally facile onstage or in the studio, and makes zero sonic compromises, Ivory II is the platinum standard. Long live the king!'
