Overview

Realistic Virtual Piano is an acoustic grand piano emulation with a breathtakingly rich and realistic sound. Particular care has been taken in the reproduction of the original realism and touch response of a Kawai and Yamaha Grand Pianos. The result is a delicacy of tone and expression that emulates the experience of playing a real acoustic grand. What's New in v2.5

Features

Modeled on mastered Piano samples (normalized and noise-reduced). Based on PCM recordings of a Kawai and Yamaha Grand Pianos after it has been meticulously tuned and adjusted.
To achieve such a remarkably authentic piano sound, has full length sustain samples, no loops (natural decay), stored in 16 bits and 44.100 KHz.
ADSR envelope generator with Attack, Sustain, Decay and Release parameters and several modulation targets.
Optimized CPU and memory usage. Stability: complete. Uses memory efficiently without sacrificing quality. Unlike many other piano modules and samplers, this piano will never overload CPU.
Good live performances: never stick notes, never break the sound.
Affordable price and user-friendly attitude are sure to attract many musicians.
Integrated, variable room simulation. Free variation of acoustic ambience thanks to complete separation of piano and room. Small rooms can be modeled just as accurately as larger spaces. Customizable with user controls for: size room, width room, damping factor & mixer, used to create psycho-acoustic models in the DSP environment, without having to load up any other plug-ins.
MIDI Automation: Added complete MIDI CC#.

Variable Room Simulation (Reverb Built in)

Added realistic acoustic environments, from small rooms to large concert halls.

Parameters:

- S i z e : This is the Size ( front - rear distance ) of the room. It ranges 0 to 10 ( smallest to largest)
- W i d t h : This represents the width ( left-right distance) of the room. It ranges 0 (small) to 10 (wide)
- D a m p : ( D a m p i n g f a c t o r ) This is a way to describe the surface absorption, or how sound is reflected by the walls, floors and ceilings. A higher Damp setting causes high frequencies to decay faster. It Ranges 0 (near no absorption) to 10 (high absorption).
- M i x : The proportion of the "Dry/Wet" signal in the output
