BlueStone Piano

BlueStone Piano starts with the robust Steinway sound, utilizing these powerful harmonics to create the unsurpassed authenticity and complexity that has long been a standard in concert halls around the world.

BlueStone Piano has successfully captured the highly resonant wooden body flavor of a vintage Steinway built in 1927 and also managed to represents its unique singing tone through Sympathetic Resonance and soundboard resonant. It is a very emotional piano with great dynamic.

Sound Magic's NEO Hybrid Modeling is a completely new way to offer the best of both worlds, the Realistic Sound of Sampling and the Playability of Modeling. The NEO Hybrid Modeling Engine leads all other virtual pianos by providing a smaller footprint, lower latency and a truer, richer sound that makes our piano live and breathe!

Standard sampled piano sounds are always static with no interaction between the strings while playing, but the NEO Hybrid Modeling Engine forges these ethereal harmonic changes, generating subtle resonances based on which notes are being played at any given moment. The NEO Hybrid Modeling Engine is always changing, always reproducing this interaction between strings, giving it a living, breathing sound, creating a real instrument with its own soul.

The NEO Hybrid Modeling Engine achieves this realistic and authentic sound by using physical modeling to shape the sound's "skeleton" and then maps it to a series of harmonic components in real time to provide the resonance between the strings and the sound of the piano "box". IR and Convolution Reverb provide for a sense of realism essential to the live sound. Too often, reverb is added as a gloss to emulate playing in some sort of cavern, but here the reverb is replicating the reverb that occurs inside of a large vibrating instrument. (You can add your cavern playing on top of this essential sound if you need to!)

Here are just some features of BlueStone Piano
BlueStone Piano gives you absolute control over every aspect of a piano. You can adjust hammer actions, microphone positions, sympathetic resonances, dynamics and more. You can even design your own piano!

HD Velocity Layer supports up to 65,536 Velocity Layers!

Multi-microphone positions enable users to mix between different microphone positions and create new sounds that easily fit into a mix.

Real Piano Legato make the legato passage so real with a sustaining tone.

Meticulous Dynamic Response controls enable users to adjust the dynamics of the piano, change the keyboard response, and achieve both realism and playability at the same time!

New! Our 264-string Sympathetic Resonance System adds beautiful harmonies to both pedal up and pedal down notes.

BlueStone Piano is able to detect repeated notes and activate True Staccato Mode which precisely reproduces staccato notes.

Built-in professional Reverb Engine simulates resonances with environment and soundboard, adding extra realism to the sound.

Actual modeling and soft pedal samples vividly present the sound of three kinds of pedals.
