This one is very similar to the piano colors which was also developed by Galaxy Instruments. The idea of particle engine and the type of presets like brushed tones, damped, flageolet or drones are all the same.
Of course the sound quality is very good, but latest NI libraries seem to be a copy and paste.
The lib is good regardless though but if you already have piano colors you might want to think twice about this one.

Thank you for the insights. If piano colors and claire avant are similar, I wonder what the differentiating factors are, if any at all?

Different rhythms on presets, but this also depends on how the particle engine is configured.
There's a tonal difference between them as well because they probably used a different piano for Claire's recording.
The UI is somewhat more modern but I found it more laggy.

There doesn't appear to be a way to change the patterns, but otherwise, it sounds great.

Does anyone manage to see this library in Kontakt? I tried importing it using "Add Library" and also the old method with Kontakt 5. I also checked the .xml file in the "Service Center," but no method allows the library to appear in Kontakt (7 or 8). Maybe it creates confusion if the Claire library is already present?

What's the difference between the regular Claire library and this Avant one?

particles engine and maybe some different tones / sample types. more for experimental, avant garde, film scoring, electronic etc. Where regular is for more traditional.
