Supreme Piano 4 features 8 pianos collection together with Neo MasterTool, offers brand new pianos and upgrades monthly in a one year.
Technology evolution can turn things that were seemingly impossible in the past into reality. One exciting feature that Supreme Piano 4 provides is that users can obtain new pianos every month. What is more, the software will also evolve every month. It will be able to stick to one topic, such as Jazz or classical one every month. With this exciting feature, users can feel the freshness of sounds monthly, get more inspiration, and add more creativity to their music.
In Supreme Piano 4, Sound Magic finally is able to provide not only a plugin, but also a full system for music products. We included our mastering system, Neo MasterTool, into Supreme Piano 4. With this multi-effects system, Supreme Piano 4 will not only help its users to get the most professional final sounds, but also provide more possibilities in sounds.
Supreme Piano 4 has a basic handpicked, 8 piano set from 7 world famous piano manufacturers. To ensure best sound quality, Sound Magic had handpicked these 8 pianos from a large piano poll.
Get this, though: thanks to the trailblazing technology that Sound Magic incorporates into its virtual instruments, Supreme Piano 4 is, in essence, an instrument with a musical soul rather than a machine-like feel — an admirable attribute that sets it apart from an abundance of solely sample-based virtual instruments out there that it could conceivably be pitched against. As such, textually making an appearance on a GUI (Graphical User Interface) that is as easy on the eye as it is to use — albeit actions always speak louder than words, the new Neo Piano engine powering Supreme Piano 4 really represents the pinnacle of sound sampling since it lets users effectively express more than 1.6-million sounds on a single note — numerically speaking, this achieves 400 times more variations than a 'traditional' sample engine! Every note played is unique, creating vivid sound representation by striking a rich, accurate tone — even with minimal movement.
Resonances play an important role in a piano's sound. It adds extra beauty to the overall sound. Reality dictates that every grand piano's sizeable soundboard reflects sound that resonates in conjunction with the wooden body of the instrument itself. Indeed, it is this continuous process that makes every note played sound so unique. Ultimately, in order to simulate this behavior, Sound Magic captured multi-angled IRs (Impulse Responses) from the soundboard, and then used modelling technology to convert those IRs into Multi-Dimensional Resonance algorithms. The result? An amazingly true-to-life concert hall sound readily available at anyone's fingertips.
Sympathetic Resonance happens when Harmonics are heard in keys related to keys that are struck. It is an interaction between different strings and adds extra color to every note's sound. It makes them sound unique so that the audience can enjoy listening. Sustain Resonance and String Resonance can be heard when sustain pedals are pressed. Although they are subtle sometimes, as a part of Piano resonance, Supreme Piano 4 has the ability to represent different resonances in the right way, and provide controls on their amount and behavior.

Supreme Piano review.
I was looking for a piano for a solo piano record. I downloaded the free demo PianoOne from this company, which I realize would probably be a budget piano in comparison to their pay-for products, and was impressed by the sound of the instrument.
So, I bought and downloaded their Imperial Piano, which samples are from a Bosendorfer grand, for Mac.
The first patch is Imperial Audience, which sounds terrible. Imagine a piano in a toilet playing backwards.
Seeing the GUI for Mac is limited, I did not notice a patch select. The Second patch is the Imperial Grand, and is what I was looking for.
The GUI, for the Mac is not the same as for a PC. This was a big let down in my opinion. There is about half the functionality in the Mac GUI. The sound? Well, the samples sound great, with the exception of the fact that some of the notes in the C2 and C4 octave which have a slight re-triggering effect when you release those notes. When playing the instrument you can't really notice too much, but for a solo piano project this is less than ideal.
The CPU load is extremely heavy. I run a iMac dual core at 2.66ghz with 4gigs of RAM. With nothing else open in Logic or Ableton Live, Imperial Grand, taxes the CPU to almost half.
I'm still considering another piano, but $140 I guess this all in all pretty good.
