Absolute Piano Bosendorfer 225

The Absolute Piano really exploit the virtual piano concept by adding specific and innovative possibilities. With its filters you can sculpt the piano timber and produce a large number a piano sounds from the same base. Everything is  specifically designed to manipulate and play piano sounds.

Absolute Piano : Bosendörfer 225. This piano has been sampled from a  half concert grand Bosendörfer 225. It has a very large musical spectrum sound. It has been recorded every 2 notes, with 4 level of velocity. V4 introduce smooth cross fade between each layer for a better transition between each velocity layer.

About the Bosendorfer 225: "Anyone who has ever encountered its expressive diversity and inimitably rich, moving sound has experienced some-thing very special indeed. Playing this instrument is an uplifting feeling; experiencing its musical spectrum is equally so.

Its size and construction allow this piano to produce a rich palette of sound colors, from the softest pianissimo to the loudest fortissimo. Four additional sub-bass keys also extend the bass range to bottom F.

No wonder that, as well as being a popular choice for concert performances, our 225 model is also very highly thought of as an instrument for private use."

What the Absolute Piano can do for you?

The Absolute Piano concept is to bring to the pianist a lightweight yet fantastic sounding piano emulation, where you have plethora of options to enjoy playing your favorite pieces, but using today's technology for a new exciting musical experience.

• Play as a VSTi in your favorite host.

• Play as a Stand Alone application powered by Minihost

• Can play your Midi piano piece and save them as WAV files. You can use every Absolute Piano as a Midi to Wav converter.

• Add background sounds to have the feeling of playing in a restaurant, in a forest, in the middle of the Ocean, on the top of a mountain.

• You can record what you play. No need of a complicated setup.

• Absolute Pianos have unique Simulation features so that, based on the hi-quality studio recording of a each specific brand and models, you can tweak them and destroy the sound, make them sound weird, used, old, or sounding like a violin?

• Have an extensive range of very high quality multi FX. Each of them has been specially designed to be used with piano, from the complex and smooth reverberator to the exclusive Peek Punch that makes all pianos sounding as punchy as Elton John playing on "I'm Still Standin'"!

• Absolute Pianos sounds AMAZING, just check our pages and listen the difference, even huge pianos doing +2 GB in size cannot play the Moonlight Sonata from Beethoven with that level of detail and expressivity.

• Absolute Pianos are loading in memory in less than 10 seconds on a regular computer.

• Absolute Pianos are running on Netbooks and small laptops. And are sounding the same! Bring your piano with you in that Island and play in front of the sunset!

• You can play piano using the MIDI,  with the mouse, or even with your computer keyboard (in Stand Alone mode only)

• In stand alone mode when the piano play a midi file, you can see what is playing and you can play on the top of it. You can play 4 hands with Absolute Piano playing with you, and record what you play with nothing else than the Absolute Piano.

Polyphony : the Absolute piano can play 128 notes simultaneously!

Chopin : Sonata N°3 in B Mino mvt 4 played by Robert Finley. In this sample you can listen the real sound of the basic soundbank. No artifacts, no filters, to fx, only the pure sound of the sampled Piano.

Rachmaninoff: prelude Op.23 N°4 played by Robert Finley. This sample shows you how the sculpture filter can slightly change the basic timber of the soundbank to create a lot of interesting variations.

Chopin : Winter Etude Opt 25 N°11 played by Robert Finley. In this sample you can listen how the reverb can greatly enhance the piano sound. The reverb uses almost NO processing and is specially designed to avoid the bad ringing resonance most reverb have when they are applied on a piano sound.

Old King Dole. In this sample I use the sculpture filter, the echo and the compressor to create a children's music piano box. I also use the background sounds option to add some birds :)

Beethoven : Moonlight Sonata. In this sample I use the sculpture filter to make a dark piano and add a rain sound in the background. This Sonata is one of the most difficult piece of piano to play with a virtual piano. It uses low velocity samples and is very subtle. Usually piano that are faked (sample generated) can't pay this midifile correctly. Here you can listen the way the sound bank is well balanced, how it is possible to play dark and bright and pass from one to another without any steps.

 

 

The key features of the Absolute piano  : Optimization : even if the Absolute Piano is small - if you compare to its competitors - it is based on a very optimized high quality sound bank and it sounds fantastic. Yes, small can be better ... sometime. This piano was sampled on 4 or 6 velocity layers with up to 12 second length. Creativity : the Absolute Piano features a sound sculpture filter specifically designed for that piano. It is in fact a 3 bands  powerful shelving filter tuned to 'sculpt' the piano timber. You can create warm or old piano, ragtime or classical sound easily. Effects : in every plug-in you have a set of effects, but, the Absolute Piano has specific ones, designed only for this piano. The reverberator is warm, very powerful and will not add any ringing resonance. The chorus will greatly emulate the piano bar style, and the peak boost will add an incredible punch in the piano attack, while compressing and limiting at the same time! Great for rock and pop styles...the multi-tap echo can be sync to the tempo. Background: the Absolute piano is a real simulator, and you can add pre-recorded hi-quality background sounds, from restaurant, or concert ambience to weird forest, thunder, sea, mountain wind, snow! Fun to play it is a must for adding some emotions while you play, try it, you'll re-discover your favorite pieces! Synthesis : with its very high quality filter, low pass, high pass, band pass, and notch, with a constant gain and saturation, resonance and self oscillation, and also the volume envelope, you have access to the real synthesizers endless possibilities. It is even possible to emulate the sound of ... a violin! Most competitors are just using a basic one pole filter to free some CPU power. With the Absolute Piano, you can really create new sounds! Stand alone, FULL VST compatible version in the same install.

 

Absolute Piano Steinway B

The Absolute Piano really exploit the Virtual Piano concept by adding specific and innovative possibilities. With its filters you can sculpt the piano timber and produce a large number a piano sounds from the same base. Everything is  specifically designed to manipulate and play piano sounds. 

Absolute Piano : Steinway Concert Grand. This piano has been sampled from a huge Steinway Model D piano. It sounds large and deep. It can be used for all kind of music from pop/rock to classical music. It has been recorded every 2 notes, with 4 level of velocity. V4 introduce smooth crossface between each layer for a better transition between each velocity layer.

About the Steinway Model B: This magnificent 6' 10 1/2" (211cm) grand piano is often referred to as "the perfect piano." It’s a wonderfully balanced and versatile piano that does extremely well in intimate settings, teaching studios, and mid-sized venues.
