Swam engine with protools
To guarantee a consistent sound over all keys, velocities and note lengths, the total recording production time was scheduled as tightly as possible to minimize even the smallest changes in the instrument's sonic behavior. The Imperial's magically unfolding tonal character, especially apparent in the pianissimo to mezzoforte range, was meticulously sampled in finely calibrated velocity steps using Vienna's proprietary piano "robot", which was further developed and perfected for this effort. The massive soundboard projects an unusually broad frequency range, evoking a sonorous, orchestral timbre. The extra bass strings create additional harmonic resonance with every key you strike, providing warmth, richness and depth across the entire instrument. Its nine additional sub-bass notes extend the instrument's key range downward to the low C – for a total range of eight octaves. The Bösendorfer Concert Grand 290 Imperial represents the apex of the famed Austrian piano manufacturer's precious heritage. Listening back to the virtual representation of the brand-new Bösendorfer Imperial, we believe they've created a new milestone in the art of piano sampling.
The Vienna team is always striving to improve and optimize their products and procedures – a special challenge, having set a very high bar with the grands they've previously captured at Synchron Stage Vienna.
Warm, orchestral sound, rich in depth and tone color.
