STEINBERG THE GRAND VIRTUAL PIANO A Concert Grand Piano as a VSTi. There have been many attempts to recreate the sound and playability of a real grand piano, but none as successful as The Grand from Steinberg. To begin with, a top-class grand piano was placed in an anechoic chamber to ensure that all samples were free of any room ambience. Not only does this give us the most accurate recording of the true sound of the grand piano as the room used will not impart its character to the sound, but this also allows you to add high quality studio effects within VST, but without mixing the sampled ambience with a processed one, which would make the sound unnatural. There are key-on samples, key-off samples, sustain samples, true re-pedalling samples and piano body resonance samples. All with 11 velocity layers per note, resulting in over 4,500 samples, or over 9Gb of data at 24-bit 96kHz sound quality. The 24-bit 96 kHz recorded samples allow for dynamics, nuances and character not available anywhere else, at any price. There are even various performance optimisation features to strike a perfect balance between sound quality and system performance. More comprehensive product information on www.steinberg.net.
