Grand Rhapsody Piano

“Grand Rhapsody is inspiring and musical. I favor the very organic options which allow all the noisy pedal thumps and key up whispers that you hear sitting at a real physical piano. The sounds are fantastic, particularly using the room mics, and the different mic options are very easy to choose and blend. The EQ settings seem chosen to enhance what you need with a piano: I found myself not needing to process outside of the plugin. Close your eyes and you’re sitting at the one of the great old studio pianos.”

“Grand Rhapsody is stunning. It's got some secret sauce that’s missing from other virtual pianos – a wide range of sounds, which makes it a valuable songwriting tool for me. I love the versatility of the formant control – very useful for creating space for vocals.”

“Grand Rhapsody sounds incredible. The different combinations of EQ, microphone choices and placement give you so many tonal options. The effects sound great, and the formant is very useful. I also love the mechanical sounds of the pedals and the hammers’ return when you release the keys quickly. Such an expressive and unique piano, beautifully recorded to capture the tiniest of nuances.”

“The most striking thing about this lovely instrument is the presence of the piano. It fills my room and gives me imaging and depth that I haven't heard in other sampled pianos. Changing microphone positions and models is a fantastic way to tune this grand into various timbres, and the key up sound is incredible – makes me feel I'm playing the real thing.”

“The warmth of this piano makes me want to keep playing it. I especially love the Limit feature: I’m a hard-hitting player, and it makes me sound like I have more finesse than I really do!”

“There are plenty of pianos out there, but since the first time we heard the Grand Rhapsody, we’ve deleted all the rest. It has huge realistic feel that can easily make you shiver with the right chord combination. A must in any studio!”

“I really like Grand Rhapsody’s warmth and depth. I also like that you can choose to hear the pedal noises, which gives it that extra authentic sound.”

“Grand Rhapsody is extremely flexible – so many great options, from mic placement to mic choices to room sound. It has a truly beautiful warm sound as its base, and you can go from there and customize it to suit your style of playing.”

“The realistic expressiveness and response of Grand Rhapsody are world-class. The versatile editing features make it easy to quickly find the perfect piano sound I’m looking for in a track.”

“Right out of the box, Grand Rhapsody is highly focused on attention to detail. Before Grand Rhapsody, I had never come across a piano plugin that captured the nuances of a real performance with the subtle clarity and body of a world-class piano. For me, Grand Rhapsody sets a new standard. It’s my go-to for a truly accurate session piano.”

“As a composer, I need quick access to high-quality sounds in various genres. Grand Rhapsody has become my go-to for acoustic grand pianos. It sounds exciting and alive on its own, without any processing, which is pretty spectacular. It's also more than just one piano: the comprehensive miking options let you shape the piano sound at the very source.”

“When writing new song ideas, I generally gravitate toward classic acoustic piano sounds; Grand Rhapsody makes me feel super-comfortable. I can get it sounding like I am writing on my childhood piano again.”

“From Metropolis studios, this piano’s versatility allows dark gloomy sounds, as well as very bright sounding melodies. The reverb on it, based on H-Reverb, is incredibly beautiful as well.”
