DISC Synthogy Ivory II Italian Grand Piano Virtual Instrument Overview
The Synthogy Ivory II Italian Grand is the second product in Synthogy's Ivory II pianos. This library features extensive sampling and modelling of a handmade Italian 10 foot concert grand. One of the world's most expensive and elusive instruments that are heavily sought after, you can now own the sound yourself. With over 28 GB of samples, this instrument is captured in extensive detail and any composer or performer who wants a unique and expressive piano sound in their collection will be smitten with this library.
The Ivory II piano engine is compatible with any of Synthogy's piano VSTs and is almost unrivalled in its level of detail and realism. If you are used to the feel of a real piano then the 18 layers of velocity in this VST will enable you to achieve the level of expression you would look for in an acoustic piano. The detailed controls and parameters will be helpful to both performers and producers, from altering the velocity curves to adjusting the key or pedal noise you will be able to make convincing performances and recordings using this plugin.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionItalian Concert Grand
The piano modelled in this library is a handmade Italian concert grand. At 10 feet in length, this is one of the largest pianos in the world and produces an equally large sound. The piano is known for being very expensive and highly sought after, this exclusive sound is now yours with all the power of Ivory II added.
The instrument is noted for its versatility. This piano feels at home in large scale classical works, intimate jazz music as well as pop styles. With 18 velocity levels, you will be able to harness the full expressive capabilities of this grand, whether you're a producer who wants a real piano sound or a performer who needs the sound of the grand without the expense and space required for a physical one.
Ivory II - the most powerful piano engine
Ivory II enhances the acoustic samples of the piano with high-end DSP technology to create the ultimate recreation of a real piano. The live DSP means that performers will also be able to take full advantage of these features live while performing on stage. Producers will find the DSP great for hearing the sounds you are using live and recording directly into whichever DAW you use.
Sympathetic resonance
A key feature of Ivory II is the sympathetic resonance using Synthology's Harmonic Resonance Modelling. This DSP function will emulate the small resonances caused by other strings related to the played note being excited by the frequencies of the played note. This feature really adds to the feeling of playing a real piano and is a valuable feature to performers or producers who love the subtleties of the acoustic piano and would like to work with them while not having access to a piano.
More detail than ever before
Ivory II also has many other features that will create a truly lifelike sound. There are controls for the lid position, perfect for producers who need control over the projection of the piano to make it blend with other elements of their composition. The key and pedal noises also add the imperfections of a real-life performance that makes it feel like real life. Another great feature for those seeking realism in their virtual pianos for either production or performances.
Ivory II is fully featured and all virtual pianos that use this system benefit from these revolutionary features. If you require the detail of sounds which are usually only possible on an acoustic piano, then this is one of the few options available that will actually deliver that to you.
