The perspective offers a present and broad sound that can be mixed superbly into contemporary productions and modern tracks. This position recreates the sound a pianist would be hearing when playing the instrument. The sound of the Bösendorfer Imperial develops naturally and is well balanced throughout. The audience position exhibits the most room ambience, and is perfect for recreating the sound of a concert recording. You may select between three microphone positions, resulting in three different sonic basis points and lending the Vienna Imperial well to orchestral music, romantic ballads, contemporary pop and rock tracks as well as jazz performances.Įach of the three positions is a different mix of several microphones, carefully positioned to provide a well-balanced, phase coherent, and accurate overall sound. As a result, the Vienna Imperial is very flexible and can be placed easily in any virtual environment. The elaborate positioning of microphones allowed for the sound to naturally evolve and spread while minimizing room characteristics.
Dare we say, the “Passion of the Grand” has never been more real. And when all is said and done, all that matters is how it sounds. But don’t get fooled by the slick interface – under the hood is a new proprietary piano engine that has been specifically designed to drive this massive amount of sample data and processing power. The Advanced View gives you quick and easy access to more control options such as convolution reverb, EQ, pedal noises, sympathetic resonances, stereo width, MIDI sensitivity and more. The Basic View of the user interface lets you choose between three recording positions (close, player, and audience). No less importantly, the Vienna Imperial is so easy to use.
The innovative implementation of meticulously recorded pedal-up and pedal-down notes in up to 100 velocities, comprehensive sympathetic resonances, and multiple release samples make the Vienna Imperial the most realistic sampled piano you’ve ever heard. 1,200 recorded samples per key represent a magnitude of sampling detail that has been unthinkable up to now. The venerable Bösendorfer Imperial 290-755 that our team hosted at the Silent Stage for two months was equipped with the famed piano manufacturer’s CEUS technology (details below), which allowed for the most precise and by far most extensive piano sample recordings ever conducted in the history of music technology. The Vienna Imperial virtual grand piano is a class of its own.
