Under The Lid
Akoustik Piano is the new benchmark in sound
quality, capturing the full body and feel of the originals with
unprecedented authenticity. The latest recording technology as well as
a specially developed microphone setup was used for all 4 pianos. The
result is a uniquely warm, transparent and flexible sound that delivers
the same distinctive character of each individual piano in exacting
detail and can still be adjusted to meet specific needs.
Intelligent Ivory
Akoustik Piano plays and responds exactly as
real pianos do. The keys were sampled at varying velocities and great
care was taken to capture the entire sustain and release phases. The
brand new Layer Morphing Technology generates a seamless dynamic
gradient. The characteristic resonances caused by use of the pedals can
be adjusted as can the subtle mechanical noises of the pedals and keys
themselves. From perfect pianissimo to forceful fortissimo, this
instrument delivers the same breadth and depth of tone as the originals.
Enchanting Ebony
Akoustik Piano has a first-class integrated
convolution module, allowing highly authentic spatial characteristics
to be added to the sound. Place the piano in a studio, jazz club,
concert hall and a cathedral or use the dry signal as it is. The
acoustic parameters of these spaces, such as the size, can also be
manipulated. From the close mic setup of a jazz combo to the more
ambient nature of classic solo performance, Akoustik Piano covers the
whole spectrum.
