Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand is one of the best digital grand pianos. A specialist from Yamaha was invited to create this instrument. Some effects were applied on this virtual instrument – flanger, tremolo, chorus and others.
Nordiska Pianofabriken- has a certain individual sound. Typical piano tones are breathtaking in the virtual piano model. Rock, blues, jazz and other styles sound great on it. In this model, detailing is clearly visible when sampling the sound.
Neuman microphones were made to special order for recording grand pianos. The characteristics of these microphones have been adapted to the piano, taking into account the timbre and frequency characteristics. The microphones reproduced the luxurious sound of each instrument with maximum fidelity. Everything was recorded: the acoustics of the room, the resonance of the strings, the sound of hammers and even the rustle of the pedal.
