The piano is presented in stereo and surround. You'll find these instruments extremely playable and inspiring.
There has never been a sampled piano that you can play this softly. They programmed and designed these instruments for maximum expressivity and playability to fit every style of playing. You’ll find the dashboard accessed microphone control allows you to customize the piano for virtually any musical application and sound type. They placed mics over the hammers, under the piano, 2 matched pairs of Earthworks room mics at both ends of the room as well as a classical ORTF, 2 side mic configuration to the right of the player.
The set of vintage keyboards were meticulously recorded at a private studio in Topanga Canyon, in the Santa Monica Mountains of Southern California. This stunning collection of lovingly restored vintage keyboards includes Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Vox, Farfisa and Hammond organs. These keyboards were played by Arlan Oscar Schierbaum. The instruments are part of a collection curated by Arlan and carefully restored by master keyboard technician Ken Rich of Los Angeles. California. They recorded at the highest resolution to capture the character and uniqueness of each instrument, 192khz/24bit into a pro tools HD system. The collection is delivered in 24bit 44k and comprises about 8000 samples for approximately 40 Gigabytes.

The Blue Grand embodies the robust Steinway sound, utilizing powerful harmonics to create an unsurpassed authenticity and complexity that has long been the standard in concert halls around the world. Our Blue Grand sound has successfully recaptured the highly resonant wooden bodies strength and depth of a vintage Steinway built in 1927, deftly representing its unique singing tone through Sympathetic Resonance and soundboard resonant. If you’re looking for a very emotional piano with amazing expression, this is the perfect sound for a softly played yet bold melody.

Next Generation Neo Piano Hybrid Modelling Engine
Neo Piano features a custom built Hybrid DFD/RAM system. It is a very flexible system which can be optimised for different playing applications. If you are using an old system with low RAM,DFD will work well. If you are using a top performance 64bit system with plenty of RAM, you can choose to play Neo Piano totally from RAM. A balance of DFD and RAM samples can be utilised to optimise general performance. In All cases Sound Quality remains at the highest level.
The core of the Neo Piano Engine is the intelligent analyze system which evaluates a MIDI track or performance to determine the Optimum balance between RAM and DFD usage. You can choose the amount of RAM available to Neo Piano to use. For live stage performances, the entire piano sample set can be loaded into RAM, removing any worries about OS interference with Hard Disc access. For Studio and Composition use, DFD is ideal with modern computers.
The new Neo Piano Engine has been totally redesigned and consumes much less CPU than before (1/10 of the previous version) and also best DFD performance (15mb/s requirement for hard disk speed which is around 1/10 for modern hard disks and even less for SSD, so this minimizes the possibility of glitches and pops due to reading the hard drive)
NEO Piano Engine offers you the best from both sampling and modelling worlds. The Authentic Sound of Sampling combined with the Playability of a Modelled Piano makes for a piano experience that you have to try to believe!
Standard sampled piano sounds are always static with no interaction between the strings while playing, but the NEO Piano Engine recreates these ethereal harmonic changes, generating subtle sympathetic resonances based the notes being played at any given moment. The NEO Piano Engine is constantly evolving, reproducing this interaction between strings, breathing life into the piano sound, recreating the souls of a real instrument.
The new user defined Damping system emulates real damper behaviour precisely and you can decide whether you want to play a ‘tight’ brand new piano, a typical bedded-in piano or a ‘loose’ well-worn old piano.
The NEO Piano Engine gives you absolute control over every aspect of a piano - you can even design your own piano! There are nearly 40 controls waiting for you to adjust. Lift the lid, alter the dampers, change the velocity response, apply a ‘Style’ or Resonance, adjust the player/audience perspective the combination of options is astounding!
Major Breakthrough - Multi-Dimension Resonance Engine
A major breakthrough in Neo Piano Engine is the resonance engine. Every Grand Piano has a very large soundboard which reflects sound which resonates together with the piano’s wood body. This is a continuous process and makes every note sound unique. In order to simulate this behaviour, Sound Magic first captures multi angle IRs from the soundboard, then applies ground-breaking technology to convert those IRs into Resonance Engine Algorithms. The result is an amazing concert hall sound reproduction full of life.
One Knob to fit your music style - Style Designer
Style Designer is a special function which allows you to quickly and easily set the piano’s musical style, such as pop, jazz, rock, classical or soft. When you move the style level dial, it will change several internal parametric.
Artificial Intelligence Tools
The Artificial Intelligence Tools check the response of your keyboard and pedals, and help you to find your ideal velocity response curve. A.I. Tools will:
1. Test your Keyboard's Velocity Response.
2. Test pedal support and half pedaling support.
3. Monitor the input states of the piano.
Scala Tuning System
Scala Tuning System allows you try different tunings on your piano. There are over 4000 tunings waiting for you to try out!
Multi GUI Versions
Neo Piano Engine provides different GUi versions for different usage. Sometimes, you may not want the GUI to take so much space on the screen, then the mini GUI version will be good for you. Or you may want to see GUI easily, so a modern and big GUI will be good for you. they plan to add more GUI versions in future to give users more choice on their GUI.

They say copying someone’s work is the best form of flattery, which is why the sound of Fazioli Rose comes from the Fazioli "Brunei", a concert grand worth more than $400,000. Based in Italy, Fazioli is considered to produce the best sounding grand pianos, as evidenced by the way factory engineers tuned the “Brunei” to achieve a unique sound with deeper, yet mellow bass.
They used the best microphones and AD/DA converter available to successfully capture the unique sound of Fazioli "Brunei” and it took almost a full year’s modeling process. Today they offer a vivid, full bodied sound in a compact size to achieve all of the luscious sounds without the expensive jewelry-studded designs.
