VI Labs True Keys Pianos Bundle

This bundle includes:

• True Keys American Grand
• True Keys German Grand
• True Keys Italian Grand

American Grand

True Keys American delivers the majestic sound of the Steinway D nine-foot concert grand.

With powerful bass, robust attack, and deep sustaining overtones, this versatile instrument can rise above a full orchestra or stand out in a busy mix.

It also has a dark delicate side, mellow and rich, especially when played with the stereo ribbon Side mic.

This grand has a classic American sound and is a staple of stages and studios worldwide.

Italian Grand

True Keys Italian is the largest piano in this collection and has the brightest sound.

Often crowned the world's best piano, the Fazioli F308 provides the sound for our Italian grand

At a staggering 10 feet 2 inches in length, the instrument has immense power with long sustains and rich harmonics.

The Una Corda pedal is particularly expressive letting you go from whisper soft to a thunderous fortissimo instantly, with even voicing across the entire register.

German Grand

True Keys German puts you at the keys of the superb Bechstein semi-concert grand and has the shortest length of the True Keys pianos at about 7 feet 5 inches.

These pianos are known for their precision voicing, clear bell-like tones, and deep bass.

Smaller in scale than a 9-foot concert grand, it can be less obtrusive in a mix but still cut through when aggressively played.

It's also most suitable of the True Keys pianos for soft lyrical playing.

A Virtual Studio At Your Fingertips

Grand pianos are large instruments and are notoriously challenging to record well.

A specific microphone in one area of the piano might work great in a jazz mix but not fit for a Romantic classical solo.

The real piano in the studio can offer many mic and placement options to dial in the perfect sound.

True Keys offers three fully mixable mic setups as well as a 'best of' mix of all mics as separate samples.

Each mic setup was chosen for its versatility and character to suit any style of playing.

The Close mics have a punchy modern sound with a wide stereo image and deep bass.

Player delivers the pianist's perspective with more distance and plenty of hammer attack.

Side is a stereo ribbon offering a warmer tone and full even response.

The Mix position is a combination of all mics for a quick and less processor intensive option.
