About the Library

ISW has been wanting to bring something really special to the world of virtual pianos.

As part of their research and development, they decided to test their new recording technique on the same Yamaha C7 featured in the original Pearl Concert Grand, in the same concert hall.

Once they heard the results, thy knew they couldn't leave this as just an experiment; they needed to share it with the world.

Camellia Concert Grand (like Magnolia Studio Grand) is a perfectly playable, immediately inspiring virtual piano that especially shines due to its great dynamic range and control.

Impact SoundWorks brought their years of experience and new technology to bear, and think you'll be able to hear the difference.

About the Technology

To deliver an accurate and consistent performance, ISW used a human-supervised machine to press the piano keys, applying the exact same amount of pressure for each recording of a given velocity, which means you'll have unprecedented control and stability when you sit down to play.

Using exclusive SpectralFusion technology to seamlessly transition from one velocity to the next, you've got an unparalleled amount of sensitivity to pressure.

With such a responsive, flexible instrument at your command, you're free to express yourself without limitations.

About the Instrument

The Yamaha C7 is a 7'6" concert grand with long, deeply resonant strings and a reputation for outstanding quality.

A staple of performance halls the world over, this grand is known for its enormous sound and its expressive dynamic range.

The bass in particular is treasured for its warmth and robustness, though the treble also soars.

This legendary piano’s rich tones are why we made it our flagship piano, and it’s why we immediately ran to the exact same instrument when we wanted to try a new recording technique.

Its ability to produce booming, grandiose sounds and incredible tenderness all at one mean that it’s ready for anything you throw at it - classical, pop, scoring, jazz, and more.
