Spitfire Audio Originals Intimate Grand Piano
Grand Piano Virtual Instrument
Classic and Versatile - The New Intimate Piano Sound
A versatile, up-close-and-personal piano, designed to suit a range of styles whether for solo composition, accompaniment, or as part of a larger ensemble.
A vintage Steinway Model A grand, expertly recorded in the intimate acoustics of Castlesound Studios, Scotland.
Three bespoke signals capturing the rich timbre, delicate nuance and wide dynamic range of the instrument in pristine detail: Condenser, Ribbon, and Binaural (providing a true-to-life image of the piano in the room).
7 presets - from tight and bright, to profoundly deep, dark and cinematic.
4 controls - Reverb, Tightness, Hammers and Pedal.
Signals (3)
- Condenser - a pair of Neumann M149 microphones for a crisp, full bodied sound
- Ribbon- a pair of Coles 4038 ribbon microphones providing a characterful and warm sound
- Binaural - Neumann KU100 dummy head, providing a realistic image of the piano, as if you were sitting at the piano yourself
Presets (8)
- Direct - The close condensers with reduced mechanical sounds of the hammers and pedal
- Intimate - A dry and characterful mix of the two close microphones with the mechanical sounds of the hammers and pedal increased
- Broad - A blend of all three signals provides a versatile and characterful sound
- Reverberant Ribbons - The ribbons, KU100 and a generous helping of reverb for a colourful, cinematic sound
- Ambient - The Binaural signal with the reverb turned up
- Soft Drama - A combination of all three signals provides a dramatic and suspenseful sound
- Subdued - The upper dynamic layer has been removed to remove brightness from the piano, useful for gentle and pensive moods
- Dynamic - The variance in dynamic layers is emphasised to allow for greater control over expression and nuance of the piano
