Professional Piano Library with Advanced Modeling Technology
Sound Magic's Imperial Grand brings together three distinguished Bösendorfer 290 grand pianos in a comprehensive virtual instrument. The collection features the 290SE with its rich, dark timbre, the Kaiser II with sustained resonance, and the Austrian Gem recorded in a concert hall setting.
Advanced Dynamic Control
The instrument incorporates Sound Magic's True Piano Dynamic system and HD Velocity Layer 3 with HDR technology, supporting up to 65,536 velocity layers. This technology enables unique dynamic ranges for each note, delivering natural expression even on standard MIDI systems limited to 127 velocity layers.
Composition Tools
Imperial Grand includes over 100 piano loops created by professional composers across various musical styles, each available in multiple BPM versions. These pre-recorded pieces serve as creative starting points for composition and arrangement.
Resonance and Response
The Neo Piano Engine models multiple resonance types, including sympathetic resonance between strings and sustain resonance. Multi-dimensional resonance algorithms derived from soundboard impulse responses create authentic concert hall acoustics. The engine also features detailed damper controls, allowing users to adjust characteristics like age and material hardness.
Specialized Performance Features
A dedicated staccato mode captures the distinct release characteristics of forceful playing, while the Hybrid Modeling technology produces up to 400 times more variations than traditional sample engines. Each note maintains its unique character, avoiding the mechanical feel common in sampled instruments.
