Some even embrace imperfection, like Rusty Piano from SampleScience. The good thing about virtual pianos is that they are often useable, whether good or bad perfection can be boring. There are other excellent options, but I’ve got used to the convenience of it, and I think it sounds awesome. Keyscape has become my go-to choice for virtual keyboards in recent years. Although, I think you need to play it to really get a feel for it. I’m interested to hear how Grand Piano XXL does in this regard because the Yamaha C5 delivers remarkable bass.Īfter listening to some demos, I think Grand Piano XXL could be nice on Pop, Hip Hop-style comping. It’s more often the bass that doesn’t have the resonance and depth to convey the power of a real grand piano. One of the things I find with virtual pianos is that lots have a lovely midrange, but the bass/treble lets them down. So, you get basic controls, but enough to adjust the character of the piano. Right next to the cutoff knob, you’ll see a Key knob that adjusts the key release gain. The Filter control is a simple cutoff knob (lowpass/highpass). The Tremolo section has LFO Rate and Depth for pitch, expression, and pan. The GUI is basic, which is what I like to see from a virtual piano.įrom left to right, the controls are Attack, Release, Tremolo, Key, Filter, Reverb, and Volume. Grand Piano XXL comes in at 1.19GB, and a smaller version (Grand Piano) without key release samples and just four velocity layers is available. The samples were captured in 24-bit 48kHz audio with sixteen velocity layers. The Yamaha C5 can be considered a semi-concert piano at just under 7 ft.Īlexander Holm recorded the piano with two AKG c414 condenser microphones in AB position above the strings.

Grand Piano XXL comes from sampling a Yamaha C5 Grand Piano.
