Description: Steinberg The Grand 3 – a new generation of virtual pianos
Steinberg has released a new high-quality Steinberg The Grand 3 virtual piano. Grand 3 contains all the artistic details that elevate the virtual instrument to an unprecedented height of realism of sound. It features three grand pianos (Yamaha C7, Bรถsendorfer 290 Imperial, Steinway D), a Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand digital grand piano and a Nordiska Pianofabriken. Recording of all instruments was carried out in studio conditions using a large number of microphones.
The incomparable sound of the Yamaha C7 grand piano holds the record for beauty and musicality. This incredible sound was the result of a long work of programmers and musicians. The Yamaha C7 virtual grand piano is able to convey all the features of musical expression in performance.
The Bรถsendorfer 290 Imperial is a virtual grand piano that allows the gourmet of high-quality sound to enjoy all the colors and richness of the timbre of a real grand piano. It is perfectly controlled with the appropriate controllers and is able to shine in every piece of music, delivering luxurious sound quality.
Steinway D – bewitches with depth of tone and ultra receptive touch. Steinway D radiates the warmth of a resonant rich sound. You can simply enjoy playing this virtual piano.
Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand is one of the best digital grand pianos. A specialist from Yamaha was invited to create this instrument. Some effects were applied on this virtual instrument – flanger, tremolo, chorus and others.
Nordiska Pianofabriken – has a certain individual sound. Typical piano tones are breathtaking in the virtual piano model. Rock, blues, jazz and other styles sound great on it. In this model, detailing is clearly visible when sampling the sound.
Neuman microphones were made to special order for recording grand pianos. The characteristics of these microphones have been adapted to the piano, taking into account the timbre and frequency characteristics. The microphones reproduced the luxurious sound of each instrument with maximum fidelity. Everything was recorded: the acoustics of the room, the resonance of the strings, the sound of hammers and even the rustle of the pedal.
