AKOUSTIK PIANO fuses the sampled sound, expressiveness and playability of three of the most reputable grand pianos – the Steinway D™, Bechstein D™ and Boesendorfer Imperial™ – as well as the charismatic Steingraeber 130™ vintage upright piano into one application. AKOUSTIK PIANO covers the entire range of piano sounds and styles, transfusing the sonic characteristics and subtle tonal nuances of all four into your computer – the perfect complement for studios, rehearsal rooms, schools, stages and clubs.
AKOUSTIK PIANO is the new benchmark in sound quality, capturing the full body and feel of the originals with unprecedented authenticity. The latest recording technology as well as a specially developed microphone setup was used for all 4 pianos. The result is a uniquely warm, transparent and flexible sound that delivers the same distinctive character of each individual piano in exacting detail and can still be adjusted to meet specific needs.
AKOUSTIK PIANO plays and responds exactly as real pianos do. The keys were sampled at varying velocities and great care was taken to capture the entire sustain and release phases. The brand new Layer Morphing Technology generates a seamless dynamic gradient. The characteristic resonances caused by use of the pedals can be adjusted as can the subtle mechanical noises of the pedals and keys themselves. From perfect pianissimo to forceful fortissimo, this instrument delivers the same breadth and depth of tone as the originals.
AKOUSTIK PIANO has a first-class integrated convolution module, allowing highly authentic spatial characteristics to be added to the sound. Place the piano in a studio, jazz club, concert hall and a cathedral or use the dry signal as it is. The acoustic parameters of these spaces, such as the size, can also be manipulated. From the close mic setup of a jazz combo to the more ambient nature of classic solo performance, AKOUSTIK PIANO covers the whole spectrum.

Hi
ReplyDeleteIn text "
Art Vista Virtual Grand Piano .."
I found the synthetic super sound of a grand piano being discussed,
well wonderful
now I have a complete different problem:
In Hamburg several years ago I lost accidentally my recordings
of my playing grand piano (and singing),this is 75hours and the work of 15years.( this is about at least 50MCs, in a supermarketbag or?, which I have lost in moving between flats in Hamburg (Blankenese,Iserbrook,Osdorf)
or let it in the state being drunk in the house of a friend without informing about, so no place found anything
People told me, that I must be insane to lose such a thing,
now :
it was not on purpose, i tell you
This Shit happened 2000 until Summer 2001
That I have lost the Cassettes I realized only 2years later
This is a try, to get info about how to seek these Cassettes Online
For your response I will be very grateful
I have been busy since 2003 interviewing friends in Hamburg and former landlords, neighbours etc but without success
I know that I won´t get my cassettes back simply by sending this email
BUT
Maybe you have an idea how I could find better
OR
Maybe you heard of somebody in the Hamburg Region with a recent enormous amount of MCrecordings
of grand piano and singing
maybe characterized as "experimental music" who knows?
