"The playability of Ivory is breathtaking. We couldn´t help getting utterly carried away with it, getting lost in a world of virtuoso swaying and flamboyant strokes. The sound is phenomenal, the dynamics are both natural and responsive, and the control parameters innovative. At present, nothing can touch it!" 10/10 - Computer Music
"The best virtual pianos for the Mac yet, at an extremely reasonable price and smartly programmed so that it can be used by all recent Mac owners." - Sound on Sound
Ivory´s superb piano samples were brought to life using no-compromise technology in the finest studios and concert halls. The sessions were produced by Joe Ierardi, an accomplished pianist and award winning sound designer and producer of piano modules for Kurzweil Music Systems®. Ierardi’s unique expertise covers every aspect of piano design, from tuning and regulation, to recording, editing, programming and engine design.
“Joe Ierardi is a very important talent in the creation of musical sound. Piano sounds have been the hallmark of Kurzweil Music products for many years, and his sound design is second to none. He has more experience in this area than anyone in the industry that I can think of.”- Raymond Kurzweil
