A range of four KONTAKT-Powered virtual instruments offer detailed
renditions of top-class acoustic pianos, available individually and as
a bundle.
The BERLIN CONCERT GRAND is based on a modern masterpiece of German
piano construction, and carries the original's vitality and
expressiveness throughout the entire dynamic range.
The NEW YORK CONCERT GRAND is the authentic rendition of the
standard in concert halls worldwide, especially suited for jazz and
classical solo material.
The VIENNA CONCERT GRAND replicates an acclaimed Austrian piano
design, with eight full octaves of powerful, orchestral sound.
Complementing the three concert grands, UPRIGHT PIANO offers the
warm and intimate tone of one of the world's best concert pianos.
In November 2009 Native Instruments introduced the BERLIN, NEW YORK
and VIENNA CONCERT GRAND as well as UPRIGHT PIANO, four software
instruments that offer detailed reproductions of some of the world's
most revered pianos. Previously available within the acclaimed AKOUSTIK
PIANO, these instruments can now be purchased individually to
specifically accommodate a certain sound or musical genre, or as a
bundle that offers the full range of piano tones.
All four pianos are powered by the industry-leading KONTAKT engine,
and are playable in the free KONTAKT PLAYER as well as the full KONTAKT
sampler. The three concert grands and the upright piano recreate each
nuance and detail of the original instruments by combining elaborate
multi-sampling with sophisticated emulation of soundboard resonance and
pedal behavior. Making full use of the advanced sampling and scripting
features of the KONTAKT engine, they remain both efficient and
convenient to use for a wide range of musical styles and applications.
Each of the original instruments was carefully set up and recorded
using a special recording technique that completely minimized room
ambience, resulting in pristine sound quality.
