It is a beautiful sounding and musical piano ideal for pop and Jazz.
The sound of Fazioli Rose comes from Fazioli "Brunei", a concert grand which worths over $400,000. Fazioli "Brunei" is the most expensive concert grand piano. Fazioli, base in Italy, is considered to produce the best sounding grand pianos today. Based on its famous Fazioli F308, the 10 foot concert grand model, Fazioli "Brunei" is decorated with flowers in mother of pearls, features semi-precious stones in various types.This “Brunei” was specially tuned by factory engineers to achieve a unique sound. , it has deeper bass and mellower in sound compared to F308.
Expertly tuned by technicians, Vintage Upright maintains an amazing quality of sound. It's not a sound like a grand piano, but It is a great piano for a modern pop, rock or jazz recording. You will find it sits well in your mix and also it will add special flavor that those grand pianos do not have to add to your music. During its over 70 years' life, some of the world’s greatest pianists have recorded legendary albums on it including Duke Ellington, Van Kliburn, Chick Corea and many others.
The sound of the Thor developed from the most famous Steinway piano - perhaps the most famous grand piano - in history. This is the Steinway D numbered CD443, the piano that Vladimir Horowitz loved most. The CD443, Mr. Horowitz's last piano, was selected by the artist for his own personal home use. When he was first introduced to this instrument, Mr. Horowitz had reservations about the piano's action (which was rather heavy) but came to love the instrument so much that, when he briefly considered concertizing in 1989, he planned to take the CD443 with him. This piano was used for recording sessions made at his home in both 1988 and 1989.
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.

Arguably the most famous Steinway piano and most famous grand piano in history, Thor is the Steinway that pianist Vladimir Horowitz loved the most. Also known as the CD443, Thor was Mr. Horowitz's last piano and was selected by the artist for personal home recording sessions. In fact, he loved it so much that he even considered concertizing it in 1989.
Thor featured an amazingly dynamic range and certain "bite" when played really hard, but still produced a soft, singing tone when played softly; two aspects most pianos simply couldn’t capture individually or together. Coupled with Steinway's famous singing tone and bell-like sympathetic resonances, it made it a truly great piano. This vast dynamic contrast and its lighting fast response is why this superb instrument became known as “Thor" in reference to the Norse god of storms and thunder.

LittleOne is a faithful software emulation of one of the most legendary and appreciated hardware analog synthesizers.
In addition to the whole signal path simulation, every single component inside LittleOne (oscillators, filter, envelopes, LFO ...) features the original frequency responses and ranges of the hardware counterpart, producing a deep, rich and warm sound.
Add to the equation a full rack with a 16-step MIDI sequencer, a 16-step trancegate effect and two master effects slots and the result is a complete analogue-sounding instrument - all in the digital domain.
Perfection is not of this world. In nature, due to its inherent complexity (and beauty), everything is unpredictable, seemingly - for us - out of control. This makes things so special.
This is true for everything, also for musical instruments.
Based on analog electronics components, an analog synthesizer brings within itself all the imperfections of this technology. This is why its sound is so warm and rich.
LittleOne synthesizer is entirely built on this concept.
Based on casuality (like in the real world), every component inside LittleOne has its independent instability and micro-imperfections. This means that - playing the same note twice - LittleOne will never produce exactly the same sound. As nature teaches.
Together with a high-end DSP technology, this feature brings brilliance, genuineness and depth to the sound.

The result of many years of research and development, IronAxe reaches all the authentic beauty and expressivity of a real Electric Guitar by simulating the physics of all the acoustic and electronic components found in the original instrument, preserving the same nuances and multi-techniques playability impossible to perform on standard frozen-sounding sampled instruments.
Break with the past - forget all the old, expensive, bulky sample libraries.
Build your custom Stratocaster©¹ or Telecaster©¹ guitar, choose Pickups type, number and position, set the Tone knobs to get the right sound, select the Plectrum hardness or pluck a String with fingers at any point along its lenght. Finally take real-time control of all this (and much more...) using a MIDI Keyboard or a real - natively supported - MIDI Guitar.
IronAxe will bring in your next Productions the sound and feel of a real Electric Guitar. And the included full set of analogue modeled Stompboxes, legendary Amp/Cabinets and Room Simulation, make IronAxe a perfect tool for advanced guitar sound designing, without the need of additional (and expensive) external software/hardware units.
A full electro-acoustic setup, just at your fingertips.
Modeling Reality
Modeling Nature and Physics is a growing practice for reaching true-to-life systems simulations with 'alive' feedbacks, including complexity management and unpredictability integration.
IronAxe is the first in a series of instruments developed by Xhun Audio to use this revolutionary technology. The core of this kind of approach is the interaction between the Instrument's model, the Performer's model and the Unpredictability simulation.
All the six Strings, the Transducers (Pickups), the Plectrum/Finger excitation and more as well as Performer's actions like Palm Muting, Tapping Harmonics (even muting a String after its excitation is possible) are physically simulated. Add Unpredictability (instrument's and performances' micro-imperfections) to the equation and what you hear at the end of the whole process is given by the interaction of this three worlds. The result is an 'alive' instrument, a state-of-the-art simulation for an unparalleled realism. |

Xils V+ Strings, Human Voice, 10 bands vocoder
From a very long time, this wonderful and versatile machine was used by a lot of well know artists and musicians, from a long time now, it is waiting by a lot of computer users to be part of their sound arsenal.
The XILS V+ combines a Vintage 10 band Vocoder, Supreme Top Octave Divider based Strings and Human Voices, or any sophisticated layering of these three elements.
After more than one year of intense modeling deep in the basement of the Xils Laboratories, we offer you this complete recreation of a legend. Its unique vintage vibe and beauty that can only be brought back to life by precisely emulating different ancient and forgotten techniques.
T.O.D : The Top Octave Divider Oscillator provides a unique sound that no samples, or other simple synthesis techniques can reproduce. Emulating the T.O.D, without any aliasing on the whole frequency range, with its pitch and waveform modulation, was a real challenge, worthy of XILS-lab. We are very proud of this effort and offer it to you for your inspiration and enjoyment.
XILS-lab touch : The XILS V+ would not however be a real XILS-lab instrument if we did not add a lot of functions and possibilities that were not present in the original machine, some giving access to its internal circuitry and parameters. And some being totally new.
T.O.D and Beyond", following the Analog and Beyond tradition XILS-lab initiated a long time ago.
The XILS V+ features exactly the same possibilities than its famous hardware predecessor but offers a lot more : while a lot of parameters were hidden under the roof of the hardware, Xils-lab put them on the front panel for a wider range of sound possibilities.
