"Good quality piano."

Feature:
You can adjust different aspects of the piano sound, which is great. You can make it in a way you like most.

Sound:
It's a beautiful sound. I already play piano for 10 years and the last 2 years I use virtual piano sounds. I tested different models and one thing I can conclude of that: The Grand 2 is ad very good sampled piano.

Overall:
I think I can use this piano sound for a long time.

"Not worth the dough."

Sound:
It's ok but you should really check out the bosendorfer 290 demos and compare them to the demos of all the other pianos on this website. The price isn't bad either. Hopefully i will soon be writing a review on it. The grand is great if you are making a world war II movie and can get away with the weak sound.

About This Product!

Description

Multimedia

The challenge was to develop a virtual concert piano equal in quality to an original acoustic piano -- even including the "unmatchable" playing characteristics.

The result: The Grand -- a top-quality virtual concert piano with a breathtakingly rich and realistic sound, whose tonal precision and outstanding dynamic qualities rival those of a real, quality acoustic concert grand piano. To make this feat possible, Steinberg's sound factory wizoo has painstakingly built this virtual instrument using sounds from a top-flight acoustic grand piano -- guaranteeing you powerful bass, crystal clear mid-range and brilliant treble.

Recording The Grand in the highest quality is so easy -- without the hassle of tuning and mic-ing -- and with perfect integration into the VST system.

Features:
Absolutely realistic, authentic sound

Playable with any MIDI keyboard

Authentic functionality of sustain and sostenuto pedals

Velocity individually adaptable to suit personal playing style

Complex variation of different sound characteristics

Free variation of acoustic ambience

Performance optimization features
