Bosendorfer 290 Plug-in

AWARDED 5 OUT OF 5 STARS FROM SOUND ON SOUND MAGAZINE

"As a musical instrument the Grandioso 290 really is a complete joy to play: the programming is first-rate, and the attention to detail is almost unparalleled... The response between the layers is totally transparent and natural .... the Bösendorfer 290's sonic qualities should make it appeal to a wide range of musicians for western art, jazz and some rock styles..." Mark Wherry, SOUND ON SOUND UK.

"Bottom line: This is the acoustic piano sample library to beat." John Krogh and Ernie Rideout, KEYBOARD USA.

The 5-star awarded PMI Bösendorfer 290 is simply the best sampled Bösendorfer 290 Grand Piano on the planet - and now it's available as a 24-bit plug-in for the first time.

This pristine piano library has finally captured all of the beauty of this piano. Up to 16 velocity layers, true release samples, true repedalling and two different microphone positions (close and ambient) for ultimate ambience control... and best of all: it sounds as good as the real thing! This Plug-In version comes with 28 programs (9 DRY programs, 9 WET programs (with and without true real-time repedalling), 3 Dry & Wet layered programs and several FX variations. The bass of this instrument is absolutely huge with a very focused pitch.

NO SAMPLER REQUIRED!

PMI BOSENDORFER 290 comes as a VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT which includes a high-performance NATIVE INSTRUMENTS interface powered by the efficient KONTAKT audio engine, including Direct-from-Disk*, for Mac and PC (*With freely-downloadable Direct-from-Disk extension).

The VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT combines intuitive handling with excellent 24-bit sound quality, and functions as a plug-in instrument, without the need for a sampler.

For the sonically adventureous, many sound shaping tools have been built in to the interface. Powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, and LFOs give a wealth of creative possibilities. Integrated high-quality reverb, chorus, and delay effects are also provided.

Direct from Disk playback easily handles large samples beyond available RAM (which is assignable).
