Soft sound source VS electric piano
Soft sound source: A certain piano soft sound source is a sample of the sound from world-famous grand piano. All the sounds are collected by modern technology within the scope allowed. When sampling, you can place N pickup Mics in N positions and strive to collect all that could hear in the surrounding environment. This can be called "violent sampling". The so-called "violence" means to get the realest sound no matter how troublesome and take up how much capacity. For some soft sound sources tone, the data volume can reach dozens of G or more. It relies on a high-performance computer to drag this huge database and execute complex and heavy computing tasks.
Electric piano(also called digital piano): Generally speaking, the amount of data for the electric pianos are much less than the soft sound source, because of the cost structure of the electric piano. In addition to the sound source, there are keyboards, amplifiers, speakers, control panel parts, piano body...instead of just the sound source part. Moreover, the electric piano does not allow the perceivable time difference between the touch of the key and the uttering of the sound. The soft sound source relies on a high-performance computer to reduce this time difference to an acceptable range and requires high-quality keyboard and sound system to support. In fact, the cost of a soft sound source is not lower than that of an electric piano keyboard. Besides the carrying of the auxiliary equipment when using the soft sound source brings inconvenience.
