First time I realize how much musicians are hopeful :)

Kaneel:

For music

Renoise
Protracker
Ableton live

Coding:
Asm-pro

Gfx:
Dpaint

emacs is all I need.

reaper and ableton live are fine as well

Rebb is amour.
Knos, dont lie, you forgot the monomachine :)

it's not software .. at least I don't treat it like software

ah yeah... nice one :)

Coding:
VisualStudio 6,2003,2005
Notepad ++
Tortoise SVN
SVNserver

VC2k5
WinMerge

Haven't really done any of those for a while. Did some coding in spring and what I used was emacs, dunno if it's such a great program but well, I know a lot of the keyboard shortcuts by heart so...

During the summer I tried to do some MIDI file editing with Modplug. It was fine until I saved what I had done and it totally fucked up everything. Stay clear from that everyone. Afterwards I switched to a program called Sibelius which is great but it's quite expensive if you want to be a law-abiding citizen.

Any of you have tried The Grand 2?

What about sound quality? And ease of use?

texel: Haven't tried The Grand 2 but I have tried Native Instruments Akoustik Piano and I must say it is quite fantastic, both in sound quality and ease of use.

The Grand 2 and Art vista virtual grand piano are amazing, but the second is really something. http://www.artvista.net/Virtual_Grand_Piano.html
I didn't tried Akoustik piano, I'm pretty sure it's amazing.

Both are easy to use, under a sequencer or simply in stand alone mode.
In a mix I can't say, but if you only play piano Art vista is much more "musical". Grand 2 got a very nice sound too, and great reverb, a little more plastic in comparasion but still a great piano.
