With the third
version of The Grand, Steinberg once again raises the bar in virtual
piano software, providing musicians, keyboardists and composers alike
with astonishing sound quality and expressiveness based on three of the
world's finest and most famous grand pianos as well as one electric
grand and one upright. The Yamaha C7, Bosendorfer 290 Imperial and
Steinway D grand pianos plus the classic Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand and
charismatic upright piano by Nordiska Pianofabriken have been recorded
to provide the artist with an entire palette of virtual piano
greatness.
By generating the
source material to highest standards using intelligent sample
architecture and latest recording technology, a uniquely warm,
transparent and flexible sound is present in The Grand 3. The
breathtaking authenticity, the extraordinary dynamic response and the
breadth and depth of tones make The Grand 3 the first choice for every
discerning musician, arranger and composer.
And it doesn't stop
there. With its sustain and sostenuto pedal support, subtle mechanical
noises, true resonance plus two microphone positions providing optimal
tone and spatial positioning in the mix, The Grand 3 is the most
ambitious and innovative development in virtual pianos to date.
The Grand 3 also
includes many small details like the customizable tuning editor, a
4-band EQ for quick sound shaping plus the idea scratch pad, which
helps composers store spontaneous ideas by automatically recording
anything played, and a metronome in the standalone version.
