Rosewood Grand pairs the sound of a rich, vibrant Yamaha C7 grand piano with innovative technology for an incredible tone and a realistic, immersive playing experience. Thanks to the seldom-recorded details it emulates, you’ll feel as though you’re seated right in front of a real grand piano.
Among its many appointments, the instrument includes duration-dependent release samples, hammer mechanics, and sympathetic resonance. Pressing the damper pedal engages special damper ambience samples. Due to how the strings freely resonate when the pedal is down, lifting the dampers off the strings, this adds a rich depth to the tone of the piano. Releasing the pedal mutes those resonances, narrowing and focusing its sound.
Together, these details make Rosewood Grand feel highly reactive and interactive. Instead of the typical flat, static response, you’ll feel like you’re collaborating with the instrument to create music, which is a rare quality to find in a virtual instrument.
Rosewood Grand includes four distinct sample sets to choose between:
- Tuned: The main version, delivering the polished, pure tone of the C7 grand piano.
- Bloom: The piano’s unisons were subtly detuned, introducing more motion in each note’s sustain.
- Felt: A layer of felt was positioned between hammers and strings, softening the piano’s attack and giving it a warm, bell-like sustain.
- Classic: Access the sound of the original Rosewood Grand library, updated with the new engine’s capabilities.
We’ve gone to extra lengths to make Rosewood Grand as streamlined and efficient as possible, giving you a solid and reliable performance, whether in the studio or on the stage.
