Experience the soul and musicality of the Grand Piano Collection

Grand Piano Collection features some of the best sounding sampled pianos in the market. A good sounding piano is a rare alchemy between the instrument, the acoustic in the recording studio, the microphones and above all, the engineer´s taste.

Grand Piano Collection highlights five wonderful instruments:

Steinway D Concert Grand
Fazioli F278 Concert
Erard Baby Grand Piano
Seiler Upright Grand
Japanese Upright

For each piano, USB selected a different set up to give different colours for every one of the five instruments. And thanks to UVI Engine´s advanced keygroup layers and rule switching, the sustain pedal and release samples perform and “feel” like a real piano.

The result is five excellent sounding pianos, with soul and a musicality.

RRP: £209.00
