Key Features
The Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Bösendorfer Imperial an immaculately sampled virtual concert grand instrument that brings the unmistakable Viennese sound of one of the world’s most revered concert grands straight to your studio. Recorded in the controlled ambience of Vienna's Silent Stage, it delivers the distinctive character of the Bösendorfer Imperial while giving you the freedom to place it naturally within almost any mix or acoustic space. CEUS performance capture, up to 1,200 samples per key, and as many as 100 velocity layers recreate the instrument with remarkable consistency across its full eight-octave range, including the Imperial's extended bass notes.
Three microphone perspectives let you move between focused player detail and a wider listening position, while six pre-configured presets provide fast starting points for different productions. The included Vienna Synchron Pianos engine also lets you adjust sympathetic resonance, pedal noise, key noise, and more, so you can shape the instrument to suit everything from intimate solo performances to larger orchestral arrangements.
Product Ref: 343063
The Synchron Bösendorfer Imperial combines Bösendorfer's CEUS technology with Vienna Symphonic Library's detailed sampling process to reproduce the piano with impressive consistency. Featuring up to 1,200 samples and 100 velocity layers per key, it responds naturally across subtle dynamics as well as more powerful passages. Every note retains the instrument's distinctive tonal character, making expressive performances translate convincingly whether you're recording solo piano, film scores, or layered productions.
Recorded in the controlled acoustic environment of the Silent Stage, this library provides a clean, adaptable foundation that can be placed into almost any production. Rather than committing you to a strong room sound, it gives you greater control over the final acoustic character. Close, Player, and Audience microphone perspectives let you choose anything from an intimate playing experience to a more spacious presentation, while six main presets offer quick starting points for different musical styles.
The Bösendorfer Imperial stands apart thanks to its full eight-octave, 97-key range with additional bass notes extending the instrument's lower register. Those extra strings contribute harmonic resonance throughout the keyboard, adding warmth, depth, and a broad orchestral character beyond the lowest notes alone. Whether you're writing cinematic arrangements or expressive classical works, the extended range opens up new creative possibilities without changing your playing approach.
The proprietary Vienna Synchron Pianos engine gives you detailed control over how the instrument responds. Adjust sympathetic resonance, pedal noise, key noise, and other performance characteristics to create anything from a polished concert presentation to a more intimate studio sound. These controls work alongside the included presets, allowing you to refine the piano's behaviour without slowing down your workflow, so you can quickly tailor the instrument for different sessions and productions.
