AcustiX Concert Grand Piano - Product Information:

There are a lot of sampled pianos available on the market today, especially in GIGA format. Most of them are very large in size, others sound to bright or metallic and lack the warmth of a real concert piano.

The AcustiX Concert Grand is the result of the challenge to create a top-quality digital concert piano with breathtakingly rich and realistic sound, whose tonal precision and outstanding dynamic qualities rival those of a real, quality acoustic concert grand piano. The result is an awesome piano with powerful bass, crystal clear mid-range and brilliant treble. The piano uses only 242 MB of memory in its full version and only 132 MB in the Light version. This makes it the ideal choice for every music workstation, even the smaller equiped.

The AcustiX Concert Grand uses 3 carefully selected velocity layers sampled from a famous concert grand piano. This piano sounds extremely warm and lyrical in the lower velocities, full of body in the mid velocities and crystal clear in the fortes. This character makes the AcustiX Concert Grand perfectly suited for all kinds of music ranging from Jazz to Classical and Pop Music.
