With the third version of The Grand, Steinberg once again raises the bar in virtual piano software, providing musicians, keyboardists and composers alike with astonishing sound quality and expressiveness based on three of the world’s finest and most famous grand pianos as well as one electric grand and one upright. The Yamaha C7, Bösendorfer 290 Imperial and Steinway D grand pianos plus the classic Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand and charismatic upright piano by Nordiska Pianofabriken have been recorded to provide the artist with an entire palette of virtual piano greatness.
By generating the source material to highest standards using intelligent sample architecture and latest recording technology, a uniquely warm, transparent and flexible sound is present in The Grand 3. The breathtaking authenticity, the extraordinary dynamic response and the breadth and depth of tones make The Grand 3 the first choice for every discerning musician, arranger and composer.
And it doesn’t stop there. With its sustain and sostenuto pedal support, subtle mechanical noises, true resonance plus two microphone positions providing optimal tone and spatial positioning in the mix, The Grand 3 is the most ambitious and innovative development in virtual pianos to date.
The Grand 3 also includes many small details like the customizable tuning editor, a 4-band EQ for quick sound shaping plus the idea scratch pad, which helps composers store spontaneous ideas by automatically recording anything played, and a metronome in the standalone version.
