IK Multimedia has updated their Pianoverse MAX suite to include the Grand Piano Y7, a unique virtual instrument based on an iconic Yamaha C7 meticulously crafted at Yamaha’s factory in Hamamatsu, Japan in the late ’80s.
The Grand Piano Y7 was recorded at the legendary Fonoprint Studios in Bologna, Italy. The recording involved DPA cardioid microphones for close miking and two Coles ribbon microphones. The samples were recorded multiple times and integrated with the Round Robin technology for realism. The result is a hyper-realistic virtual piano.
In addition to the Grand Piano Y7, Pianoverse MAX offers eight other deeply sampled pianos – a Bösendorfer 214 Vienna Concert, a Koch & Korselt Upright Grand, a Steinway & Sons Hamburg D-274, a Fazioli F278 Concert Grand, a Yamaha CFIII Concert Grand, a Yamaha U5 Professional Upright, a Bösendorfer 280 Vienna Concert and a Steinway & Sons New York D-274.
Pianoverse MAX also offers 33 sonic destinations, including three new ones – Northern Lights, Mirrors and White Loft Spaces. These destinations range from traditional Concert Halls and Studio Spaces to less traditional ones like a Warehouse or Vault and otherworldly cinematic environments like an Iceberg, Desert or Mars. Flexible controls are included to further shape the sounds and textures and create never-before-heard-of cinematic sounds and textures.
