Key Features
The Vienna Symphonic Library Studio Bösendorfer Imperial is a meticulously sampled virtual concert grand piano that delivers ultra-realistic, mix-ready piano sounds. Recorded at Vienna Symphonic Library's Silent Stage, it delivers the distinctive character of a Bösendorfer Imperial 290-755 with a controlled, intimate sound that fits easily into almost any mix. Bösendorfer's CEUS technology captures every nuance of the instrument with remarkable precision, using up to 1,200 samples and 100 velocity layers per key for highly responsive performance.
Three separate microphone perspectives give you complete control over the piano's character, whether you want a direct close-miked sound, the natural viewpoint of the performer, or added space from the audience position. Included presets and adjustable reverb make it easy to tailor the instrument for solo performances, ensemble arrangements, jazz, rock, lounge, and more.
Product Ref: 343035
The Studio Bösendorfer Imperial uses Bösendorfer's CEUS technology to record the movement of every key with exceptional precision. Solenoids beneath each key capture even the smallest performance variations, resulting in up to 1,200 samples and as many as 100 velocity layers per key. This extensive sampling produces smooth dynamic transitions and natural note response, allowing expressive passages, delicate pianissimo playing, and powerful fortissimo performances to translate accurately into your productions.
Three independently recorded microphone positions give you the flexibility to build the piano sound that best suits your project. Blend the close microphones for definition and detail, use the player perspective for a natural performance viewpoint, or introduce the audience microphones to add depth and ambience. Each signal is available separately within the included Piano Player mixer, making it easy to create anything from an intimate studio sound to a spacious concert-style presentation.
The Studio Bösendorfer Imperial includes a collection of presets designed for different musical styles and production workflows. Choose dedicated settings such as Jazz Piano, Rock Piano, or Soft Lounge Piano, or create your own sound using the built-in mixer and elegant reverb. Whether you need a dry, focused piano for dense arrangements or a more spacious sound for solo performances, you can quickly adapt the instrument without interrupting your creative process.
