"This is one of the most realistic-sounding virtual grand pianos we’ve encountered. Truly delightful to play." - Music Tech Magazine
"Not surprisingly, Ivory Italian Grand sounds simply stunning. Using a good weighted MIDI keyboard, you could record classical music on this piano and no one would ever know - that´s how phenomenal it is." - Jim Aiken, Keyboard Magazine
"I loved playing it... it works just as well in larger works as it does in solo... Synthogy are to be applauded for producing yet another great library." - Sound on Sound
"If you want a great piano, look no further. It is rich, dynamic and expressive across all the octaves from bass through the mid-range to the upper registers.” - Jonathan Wilson, MacUser Magazine
"It’s slightly different in tone to the original Ivory pianos, but like them, it’s rich, expressive and rewarding to play." - Computer Music
This is a new complete ´standalone´ version of the Italian Grand and does not require Ivory to be already installed.
No longer just an expansion, but a free standing, virtual instrument, Ivory Italian Grand features the amazing Italian 10 Foot Concert Grand Piano, and comes complete with Synthogy´s powerful virtual piano engine technology. For those who are new to Ivory, the Italian Grand is now available as our most affordable virtual instrument to date. For existing Ivory owners, this all new sample set simply installs directly into Ivory, adding a 4th World Class Grand to Ivory´s award winning collection of pianos.
This exceptional piano is one of the world´s greatest and most sought after Concert instruments. The Italian Grand is also one of the world´s most expensive and exclusive concert grands; handcrafted and well known for its expressive dynamics and full bodied character. Expertly regulated and impeccably recorded in the famed Concert Hall at SUNY Purchase using Class-A equipment, this remarkable 10 Foot Concert Grand is captured in exquisite detail.
The samples in this multi-platform plug-in are powered by Synthogy´s custom sample playback and DSP engine which delivers a new level of realism in digital sound creation. All of the breathtaking beauty and nuance of the original instrument is rendered to phenomenal perfection by Synthogy´s powerful virtual piano technology for an unforgettable playing experience. Twelve velocity layers are included, as well as soft pedal samples and release samples recorded at multiple velocity and duration levels. All of the same great features of Ivory´s award winning virtual instrument design and user interface are also included here: custom digital effects, user programmable velocity maps, and the many groundbreaking, piano specific features that have made Ivory the industry benchmark. As one reviewer stated, "This instrument redefines yet again what a virtual piano can be."
