“There’s an old American joke that goes like this:
“Everyone laughed when I sat down at the piano.”
We’ll never let that happen to you!
The piano—perhaps more than any other single instrument—conveys the whole range of musical thoughts and emotions like nothing else can.
“Imagine having a symphony orchestra at your fingertips
Garritan Personal Orchestra gives you a complete orchestra – strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, keyboards and more. Version 5 is a major new update, now with more than 500 instruments to choose from. Also included are a wide variety of instrument-specific articulations and techniques, performance spaces and reverbs, and instrument body resonances, all engineered to provide incredible realism and authenticity to your music.”
“MODELED PIANO STUDIO
The Piano V now brings to the V Collection the king of all instruments, including a studio full of faithful models of various pianos, plus the ability to shape your piano sounds for a whole new level of control.
The Piano V delivers, not one, but twelve different world-class pianos that we’ve meticulously crafted using our critically acclaimed modeling technology. Because they’re models, you not only get a wide range of true pianos, we’ve been able to give you controls over different components and characteristics that have never been accessible before. You can play pianos that are the pinnacle of realism or get as radical as you want with unconventional sounds. The versatile Piano V is an indispensable foundational instrument for any keyboardist, writer or producer in any style of music.
“A thoroughly unusual electromechanical EP with a distinctive Claviset mechanism and crude control set • Perfect for roots rock, blues, honky-tonk dives, or adding a layer of strangeness to more conventional EPs • Over 480 individual samples capture every nuance of this strange instrument, warts and all • Retrofitted velocity response allows for expressive playing; Tilt EQ allows you to tailor the tone • Synthesised Sustain wave can be blended with the tines for a longer, fuller sound, and detuned for extra warmth • Key-off samples accurately capture the distinctive clicks, ticks and thunks of the tine bars in action”
“The Raven grand piano stands out with its compelling range of nuances, beautiful harmonic richness and a natural, precise and smooth playing feel that instantly convinces.”
“EPIC ELECTRIC PIANO
The Stage-73 gives you actual authentic modeling of both Stage and Suitcase versions of the most popular electric piano on the planet —completed with unparalleled control of virtual mechanics, a complement of effects pedals, and built-in classic amps.
The Stage-73 uses our award-winning modeling technology to faithfully reproduce the tine-based sound and playing experience of the most loved electric pianos of all time. We modeled both the Fender Rhodes Suitcase Piano and Stage Piano—including separate 1973 and 1974 models of the Stage in order to capture the difference in their components. We’re talking total sonic and aesthetic fidelity to the originals. You can even easily pop the top and customize the various mechanical components to make your instrument unique. Classic amps and an array of effect pedals round out the virtual electric piano you’ve always dreamed of having.
“Five Legendary Electric Pianos
Velvet is a virtual electronic piano that combines five legendary electric pianos from the 60s and 70s into one versatile instrument. Based on the Fender Rhodes Suitcase, Fender Rhodes MK I and MK II Stage Pianos, Wurlitzer 200A and Hohner Pianet-T, Velvet accurately emulates the sound quality, response, and nuances of each original instrument to bring your piano tracks to life. Additionally, Velvet features a pallet of onboard effects and allows you to control every aspect of the sound for unparalleled realism: turn up the tube drive controls in the preamp section to warm up your tone; adjust the timbre, dynamic response, and velocity curve to customize the playing feel; and mix in the sound of pedal and other keyboard mechanical noises to recreate an authentic electric piano track.
“The most realistic sampled piano ever created.
The Vienna Imperial virtual grand piano is a class of its own. The venerable Bösendorfer Imperial 290-755 that our team hosted at the Silent Stage for two months was equipped with the famed piano manufacturer’s CEUS technology (details below), which allowed for the most precise and by far most extensive piano sample recordings ever conducted in the history of music technology. 1,200 recorded samples per key represent a magnitude of sampling detail that has been unthinkable up to now.
The innovative implementation of meticulously recorded pedal-up and pedal-down notes in up to 100 velocities, comprehensive sympathetic resonances, and multiple release samples make the Vienna Imperial the most realistic sampled piano you’ve ever heard.
No less importantly, the Vienna Imperial is so easy to use. The Basic View of the user interface lets you choose between three recording positions (close, player, and audience). The Advanced View gives you quick and easy access to more control options such as convolution reverb, EQ, pedal noises, sympathetic resonances, stereo width, MIDI sensitivity and more. But don’t get fooled by the slick interface – under the hood is a new proprietary piano engine that has been specifically designed to drive this massive amount of sample data and processing power. And when all is said and done, all that matters is how it sounds. Dare we say, the “Passion of the Grand” has never been more real.”
“The Return of a Classic
Wurlitzer-V is Arturia’s amazingly accurate physical model of the classic Wurlitzer 200A electric piano.
The Wurli 200A piano had a sound that could go from mellow and soft to hard and brash. This harder sound is what made it so popular in rock music as it could cut through a mix like a knife.
A soulful reproduction
Using advanced physical modeling we recreated this complex and dynamic sound.
The output can then be processed and shaped through a host of modeled guitar effects pedals. On the output we give you options like a guitar amp a Leslie rotating speaker or direct for making a vast array of sounds.
“The Yamaha CFX features a hand-crafted, full size concert grand that represents the pinnacle of the manufacturer’s tradition of piano crafting. It was captured at Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna with up to 4,200 samples per key. The instrument’s distinctive sound can be characterized as precise, bright, clear, powerful and assertive, lending itself to any genre of classical, romantic or contemporary piano music and from solo pieces to chamber and concert works. Yamaha’s award-winning performance reproducing system “Disklavier ENSPIRE PRO“ guaranteed utmost precision, resolution and consistency during the entire recording process. You may select from six different presets (“Concert”, “Intimate”, “Player”, “Pop”, “Ambience”, “Mighty”) and edit them to your liking with the musician-friendly user interface of our proprietary software player.”
