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: :: MIDI

| 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 |
