Overview
Realistic Virtual Piano is an acoustic grand piano emulation designed to offer "a breathtakingly rich and realistic sound".
Particular care has been taken in the reproduction of the original realism and touch response of a
Kawai™ Grand Piano.
The result is a delicacy of tone and expression that emulates the experience of
playing a real acoustic grand.
Features
-
Modeled
on mastered Piano samples (normalized and noise-reduced). Based
on PCM recordings of a Kawai™ Grand Piano after it has been meticulously
tuned and adjusted. Optimized with latest recording technology .
-
Transparent
and flexible sound: like the real piano, no artifacts, no fake layers.
-
To
achieve such a remarkably authentic piano sound, has full
length sustain samples, no loops (natural decay), stored in 16 bits
/ 44.100
KHz.
-
ADSR
envelope generator with Attack, Sustain, Decay and Release parameters and several modulation targets.
-
Optimized
CPU and memory usage. Stability: complete. Uses memory efficiently without sacrificing quality.
Unlike many other piano modules
and samplers, this piano will never overload CPU.
-
Good
live performances: never stick notes, never break the sound.
-
Affordable price, user-friendly attitude
and compact software instrument are sure to attract many musicians.
-
Integrated,
variable room simulation. Free variation of acoustic ambience thanks to
complete separation of piano and room. Small rooms can be modeled just as
accurately as larger spaces. Customizable
with user controls for: size room, width room, damping factor & mixer, used to create
psycho-acoustic models
in the DSP environment, without having to load up any other plug-ins.
-
MIDI
Automation: The following MIDI Continuous Controllers (MIDI CC)
messages are recognized and affect the described parameters:

Variable
Room Simulation (Reverb Built in)
 Added realistic acoustic environments,
from small rooms to large concert halls.
Parameters:
-
S i z e : This is the Size ( front - rear distance ) of the room. It ranges 0 to 10 ( smallest to largest)
- W i d t h : This represents the width ( left-right distance) of the room. It ranges 0 (small) to 10 (wide)
-
D a m p : ( D a m p i n g f a c t o r ) This is a way to describe the surface absorption, or how sound is reflected by the walls, floors and ceilings. A higher Damp setting causes high frequencies to decay faster. It Ranges 0 (near no absorption) to 10 (high absorption).
-
M i x : The proportion of the "Dry/Wet" signal in the output
