Native Instruments Akoustik Piano v1.1.3.001 VSTi DXi RTAS *UPDATE*

Grand Slam

AKOUSTIK PIANO fuses the sampled sound, expressiveness and playability
of three of the most reputable grand pianos û the Steinway DÖ,
Bechstein D 280Ö and Boesendorfer 290 ImperialÖ û as well as the
charismatic Steingraeber 130Ö vintage upright piano into one
application. AKOUSTIK PIANO covers the entire range of piano sounds
and styles, transfusing the sonic characteristics and subtle tonal
nuances of all four into your computer û the perfect complement for
studios, rehearsal rooms, schools, stages and clubs.


Under The Lid

AKOUSTIK PIANO is the new benchmark in sound quality, capturing the
full body and feel of the originals with unprecedented authenticity.
The latest recording technology as well as a specially developed
microphone setup was used for all 4 pianos. The result is a uniquely
warm, transparent and flexible sound that delivers the same
distinctive character of each individual piano in exacting detail and
can still be adjusted to meet specific needs.


Intelligent Ivory

AKOUSTIK PIANO plays and responds exactly as real pianos do. The keys
were sampled at varying velocities and great care was taken to capture
the entire sustain and release phases. The brand new Layer Morphing
Technology generates a seamless dynamic gradient. The characteristic
resonances caused by use of the pedals can be adjusted as can the
subtle mechanical noises of the pedals and keys themselves. From
perfect pianissimo to forceful fortissimo, this instrument delivers
the same breadth and depth of tone as the originals.


Enchanting Ebony

AKOUSTIK PIANO has a first-class integrated convolution module,
allowing highly authentic spatial characteristics to be added to the
sound. Place the piano in a studio, jazz club, concert hall and a
cathedral or use the dry signal as it is. The acoustic parameters of
these spaces, such as the size, can also be manipulated. From the
close mic setup of a jazz combo to the more ambient nature of classic
solo performance, AKOUSTIK PIANO covers the whole spectrum.
