We at Auddict have worked tirelessly over the past couple of years recording, re-recording, producing, adjusting and finally perfecting this fabulous new virtual grand piano - a VST recorded with pianist Dorian Marko's very own golden-era Steinway D concert grand piano.

Presenting the Dorian Marko Piano
As far as we are concerned, the most realistic digital re-creation of a concert grand piano yet.



Runs as a standalone, VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin. Compatible with all major DAWs. M1 native.

FOUR Piano Models
Four different piano modes: “classical” (for a traditional concert sound), “stage” (for rock, pop, jazz), “attic” (a soft, haunting sound which works in cinematic productions) and “stardust” (highly experimental sonic effects).

Inspiring Graphical Interface
A truly inspiring and graphically rich visual display which can inspire and even be recorded for streaming or uploading your performances/recordings online.

Lifelike Sustain Pedal Resonance​
We've even re-created the sympathetic resonance behaviour of the sustain pedal... but did we stop there? Of course not. We've made it so that you can even adjust the amount of sympathetic resonance.

Una Corda Mode​
We specially and separately sampled the una corda pedal, you get the real thing. The una corda sound on this piano is very prominent and very special.

Fourteen Velocity Layers​
We’ve never spent this much time sampling an instrument; months of sampling and re-sampling until it was perfect. We made sure to capture every single detail from this very special Steinway Model D concert grand piano.

Transform Your Sound​
You can even adjust the mechanical sounds of the instruments. Alter the sound of the pedal going up/down, the hammers strikes, hammer releases, note releases, room/background noise.

Walkthrough Video (more to come)



Piano prepared for this project by renowned piano tech Iain Gordon who has prepared pianos for Lang Lang, Evgeny Kissin, Martha Argerich, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Chick Corea and more.​

Iain had this to say about our instrument:
""Having worked with Steinway pianos all my life, I’m really impressed with the sound Auddict have achieved. It’s certainly the best digital piano sound I’ve ever heard."

Three Mic Positions​
Play anything from the closest driest piano sound appropriate for pop/rock/jazz to a hugely ambient and distant concerto sounding concert grand for classical pianists.

Velocity Curve​
Adjust the dynamic response of your piano with an interactive velocity curve.
