AKOUSTIK PIANO fuses the sampled sound, expressiveness and playability of three of the most reputable grand pianos - the Steinway D, Bechstein D 280 and Boesendorfer 290 Imperial - as well as the charismatic Steingraeber 130 vintage upright piano into one application.

The software instrument from Native Instruments covers the entire range of piano sounds and styles, transferring the sonic characteristics and subtle tonal nuances of all four into the computer and is the perfect complement for studios, rehearsal rooms, schools, stages and clubs.

The latest recording technology as well as a specially developed microphone setup was used for all four pianos. The result is a uniquely warm, transparent and flexible sound that delivers the same distinctive character of each individual piano in exacting detail and can still be adjusted to meet specific needs.
