Key Features
The Vienna Symphonic Library Studio FX Piano is a virtual piano instrument that transforms sampled piano recordings into an extensive palette of unconventional textures for composers, producers, and sound designers. Built from a Yamaha CFX recorded at Vienna Synchron Stage, the instrument uses screws, bolts, rubber, felt, chains, paper, and an EBow to reshape familiar piano tones into percussive hits, sustained drones, organic plucks, atmospheric pads, and evolving soundscapes.
Sampled in a controlled environment in Vienna Synchron Stage B, this dry recording environment gives you complete freedom to add your own processing, while optional convolution reverb lets you place the instrument in a wide range of acoustic spaces without leaving your DAW. Dedicated FX patches, performance articulations, mixer presets, and the Vienna Synchron Player make it easy to create distinctive textures for film scoring, contemporary composition, electronic production, and experimental music all without ever needing to touch external plugins.

When writing for film, TV, game or sound design, a musician must be prepared. Preparedness takes on an entirely different meaning with Studio FX Piano. Every sound begins with a Yamaha CFX that has been physically transformed using a wide variety of materials and performance techniques to uncover textures well beyond a conventional prepared piano. Bass strings are plucked and struck by hand, the piano body is hit with mallets, while screws, bolts, rubber, felt, chains, and paper each introduce their own distinctive resonances and harmonics. Additional articulations, including EBow sustain, string scrapes, glissandos, and mallet strikes, give you an extensive collection of percussive, tonal, and atmospheric sounds that encourage experimentation without sacrificing playability.
Studio FX Piano blurs the line between keyboard instrument, percussion, and sound design tool. Familiar piano tones become mysterious drones, metallic impacts, delicate plucks, spacious pads, and evolving textures that can sit comfortably in cinematic scores, contemporary classical works, ambient productions, or experimental electronic music. Dedicated FX presets are organised into practical categories including Percussive, Pads, Spacious, Delays, and Evolving, allowing you to quickly explore different sonic directions. Additional mixer presets provide instant sound shaping, while custom articulations give you expressive performance options that continually reveal new creative possibilities.
Every sample was captured in the controlled acoustic environment of Vienna Synchron Stage B, producing a detailed, relatively dry recording that responds naturally to further processing. This clean foundation makes Studio FX Piano particularly flexible for producers working entirely in the box, allowing you to shape sounds using your own effects or the included processing tools. Optional convolution reverb derived from Vienna MIR Pro 3D adds realistic acoustic spaces whenever you need them, while algorithmic reverb offers another approach to ambience.
