IK Multimedia has announced release of a new addition to its groundbreaking virtual instrument which combines the world’s finest concert-grade pianos with inspiring cinematic effects.
Pianoverse lets users explore a breathtaking sonic range, from the most true-to-life acoustic piano experience to the wildest atmospheric and interactive creative textures, all in a single plug-in. And all with incredible ease of use and an inspiring workflow.
Gran Concerto 278 is based on a robot-assisted deep multisampling of a 9.5′ Fazioli F278 Concert Grand piano manufactured by Fazioli Pianoforti of Sacile, Italy. Made from the finest materials, this masterpiece of craftsmanship uses wood from the same red spruce forest in the Carpathian Mountains where Antonio Stradivari cultivated his rare and celebrated violins. It’s considered by many jazz and classical players to be the finest piano in the world.
With its rich and distinctive sound, the Fazioli F278 was an obvious choice to capture for Pianoverse, letting users experience the same responsive action and wide dynamic range used by many of the world’s leading pianists, including Herbie Hancock, Lang Lang, Yuja Wang and Daniil Trifonov.
The F278 was tuned and prepared by a master technician and then sampled in Italy within the walls of a 15th-century convent so the whole world may enjoy this specific instrument in all its unique glory in the Gran Concerto 278.
The latest Pianoverse update including Gran Concerto 278 is available free to all all-access subscribers, as will all future Pianoverse pianos. Users can subscribe now for 14.99 USD/EUR per month or 149.99 USD/EUR per year.
