Sound Magic have released blue Grand3D Limited Edition re-issue, available for only $19.00, increasing to $49.00 after the promotion. The offer ends September 30th.
In 2009, Sound Magic released Blue Grand3D as their second generation of hybrid modelling pianos (now at it’s 10th generation). This product won several awards and created a great reputation for Sound Magic in the virtual piano world. At that time, this piano came with a spacer plugin which makes it sounds in a 3D space but as technology advanced, this product was replaced by Blue Grand in 2013. Some of the original customers still love its Blue Grand3D’s mellow and mature style of sound. This is a key reason why Sound Magic decided to reincarnate it as a special edition.
Every pianist knows the importance of pedaling to the piano sound. Pedal behavior is rather complex both mechanic- and sound-wise. Sound Magic’s latest Neo Piano Engine can represent the pedal behaviors accurately including the features below:
Half Pedaling: For acoustic pianos, it is possible to press down the sustain pedal only partially such that the dampers just touch the strings very slightly. This technique for the advanced pianist is called half pedaling and allows a fine variation of the sound.
Repedaling happens when you press sustain pedal again within a very short time after releasing the pedal. The string will continue to sustain in this case.
A piano usually has three pedals, from left to right: the soft pedal (or una corda), the sostenuto pedal, and the sustaining pedal (or damper pedal). Neo Piano Engine carefully modelled the pedal behavior and additionally supported the 4th pedal on Fazioli pianos.
Features include:
- Offering authentic sample sounds with the playability of a modeled piano, hybrid modeling technology embodies over 2GB samples. (learn more)
- Style Designer helps set the piano’s musical style with a simple knob, be it pop, jazz, rock, classical or soft, and change internal parametric.
