Synthogy are known for their realistic and beautiful sounding virtual pianos. The Synthogy Ivory II Studio Grands comes with 2 classic studio grand pianos that have both been recorded in two different iconic recording studios providing you with clean and full bodied virtual instruments. The first is the Steinway Model B Grand Piano that was hand picked with Steinway & Sons themselves at the Steinway factory in New York and has been referred to as 'the perfect piano'. One of Steinway's top concert technicians have been no site whilst recording and sampling to prepare, maintain and constantly tune throughout the session making sure the Steinway Model B's recording is nothing but high-quality and shows its unique balance of size and power. It is a versatile instrument for all styles of music.
The second virtual piano is the Bosendorfer 225 Grand Piano which is known for its deeply resonant tone and clarity and has appeared on numerous Grammy winning and Grammy nominated recordings. The Bosendorf was recorded at Firehouse Recording Studios in Pasadena with sessions being engineered by legendary recording engineer/producer Tony Shepperd to provide you with the cleanest and powerful sound that captures the pure beauty of this piano.
"Certainly there’s no way, in a mix, to tell that a Studio Grands MIDI part isn’t a real piano recorded in a great studio. There’s not one whiff of artificiality." Sound on Sound
