Classic and versatile — the new intimate piano sound
A versatile, up-close-and-personal piano, designed to suit a range of styles — whether for solo composition, accompaniment, or as part of a larger ensemble. A vintage Steinway Model A grand, expertly recorded in the intimate acoustics of Castlesound Studios, Scotland.
Three bespoke signals capturing the rich timbre, delicate nuance and wide dynamic range of the instrument in pristine detail: Condenser, Ribbon, and Binaural (providing a true-to-life image of the piano in the room). 7 presets — from tight and bright, to profoundly deep, dark and cinematic. 4 controls — Reverb, Tightness, Hammers and Pedal. Available in our easy-to-use plug-in.

Presets (8)
- Direct — The close condensers with reduced mechanical sounds of the hammers and pedal
- Intimate — A dry and characterful mix of the two close microphones with the mechanical sounds of the hammers and pedal increased
- Broad — A blend of all three signals provides a versatile and characterful sound
- Reverberant Ribbons — The ribbons, KU100 and a generous helping of reverb for a colourful, cinematic sound
- Ambient — The Binaural signal with the reverb turned up
- Soft Drama — A combination of all three signals provides a dramatic and suspenseful sound
- Subdued — The upper dynamic layer has been removed to remove brightness from the piano, useful for gentle and pensive moods
- Dynamic — The variance in dynamic layers is emphasised to allow for greater control over expression and nuance of the piano
Signals (3)
- Condenser — a pair of Neumann M149 microphones for a crisp, full bodied sound.
- Ribbon — a pair of Coles 4038 ribbon microphones providing a characterful and warm sound.
- Binaural — Neumann KU100 dummy head, providing a realistic image of the piano, as if you were sitting at the piano yourself. Works particularly well with reverb.
