METAPIANO: Modeled Grand Piano

A 60MB VIRTUAL PIANO THAT SOUNDS LIKE A 30GB ONE

MetaPiano is the first Spectral Modeled Grand Piano out there. It was built upon real sound captures from a Japanese Concert Grand Piano and meticulously rebuilt by math algorithms.
It's so realistic you won't believe is not the real instrument. And so lightweight you can email it :).

THE PROCESS

It all started with the search for the perfect piano to analyze its sound. We fell in love with a Japanese Concert Grand Piano and deeply recorded it, capturing every nuance to feed our spectral analysis with high-quality audio sources.

A peaceful studio located in Patagonia gave us the noiseless scenario we needed to capture crystal-clear waveforms with top industry Mics and Preamps.

Then the real process began: Our custom-made algorithm disassembled the audios and extracted the main characteristics for each note and noise. And our Spectral Engine 2.0 re-assembled the timbre to every time you play a note.

HYPER-DETAILED SPECTRAL MODELED GRAND PIANO

MetaPiano was made upon Spectral Modeling, a technique that provides realistic sounds since it's based on real samples and not hypothetical approaches like physical modeling.

It sounds real because it is real: sound is created the same way in nature (stacking simple sinewaves together). This is why it feels organic and warm.

We've mapped more than 64 groups of timbre components (releases, hammer, key noises, main timbre, resonance, etc) and recreated them by Spectral Modeling, archiving a realistic and warm sound in only 60 MB, and very low CPU usage.

FULL DECAYS (NO LOOPS)

Thanks to the Spectral Engine, MetaPiano reproduces the full length of the real notes without looping. You'll hear decays for a minute and more on lower notes.

NO VELOCITY SWITCHING

MetaPiano is built upon full dynamics of the real instrument. There's no velocity switching because there are no layers or regions or anything that old sampling techniques requires.

ZERO NOISE

Being a modeled instrument has the advantage of being noiseless. You can stack 400 tracks of MetaPiano and you won't hear any noise.
