Bright, regal and elegant. Steinway D captures all the sound of the concert hall and transforms into a space that transcends life. Able to gracefully handle soft passages, this piano shines with wide, virtuoso passages. In the hands of a composer, this is a great way to bring one of the world’s most famous pianos into your own studio; in the hands of a skilled performer, this is a very powerful weapon in your arsenal.
A LEGENDARY COLLECTION The
piano was created with one goal in mind: to fully reproduce every sonic detail of the world’s four most sought-after grand pianos, by any means necessary. With 3 separate mic positions, 8 separate articulations and up to 18 velocities per note for each articulation, the detail and stereo image of each piano is easily adjusted to your exact performance and mixing needs right out of the box. You can easily combine multiple mic positions and simulate the damping effects of a real grand piano lid for each instrument, providing complete performance flexibility.
UNRIVALED REALISM
Listen to any Pianos audio demo and you’ll find it hard to believe that the performance was not recorded live in a concert hall. Each piano (Steinway, Bosendorfer, Bechstein and Yamaha) has enough detail to satisfy everything from quiet, muted passages to virtuosic performances, and you can expand their dynamic range as much as you need by effortlessly jumping between pianissimo and fortissimo across desire. . The piano seamlessly switches between 7 different articulations: Sustain, Pedal Sustain, Repeats, Pedal Repeats, Muted Pedal, Muted Pedal with Sustain Pedal, and Staccato with separate decay traces.
• Created by award-winning sound producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix.
