The Grand VST - Concert Piano for the Virtual Studio

Steinberg is proud to present The Grand VST. This is no digital piano or ROM player. "The Grand" is a real concert piano based on an intelligent VST engine, and sets new standards in sound quality and playing characteristics. The Grand offers the unique and exciting experience of playing a grand concert piano. The sound quality and playing characteristics are not degraded by any loops or audio compression techniques. The Grand captures every last nuance of musical expression. Steinberg's sound design partner Wizoo has made this possible by painstakingly building this virtual instrument using sounds from an excellent acoustic grand piano -- including dynamics, damper and hammer action as well as sustain and sostenuto pedals. All samples were done in an anechoic chamber maintaining the highest possible quality

Using The Grand is easy thanks to perfect integration into the VST system. The Grand is as easy to use as a concert piano should be -- just sit down, open it and start playing. In addition, The Grand allows individual settings including freely programmable velocity curves, four different sound characters (Natural, Soft, Bright, Hard), a choice between well tempered and concert grand scale tunings as well as control over the amount of ambience.

The Grand VST comes with over 1.3 GB of samples and the samples are streamed from the hard drive. The Grand VST really is the ideal concert grand piano offering stunning sound and musicality for the discerning musician.

The Grand VST is available for PC and Mac at Steinberg Dealers for $299.99 MSRP.
