PreSonus Studio Grand Add-on Now Available

PreSonus Studio Grand Add-on Now Available July 21,2015

We just released the PreSonus Studio Grand, which you can get from shop.presonus.com by clicking here. This aggressively over-sampled piano features ten distinct velocity layers and eight round-robin samples for each of the piano's 88 keys. The result is one of the most natural and human-sounding virtual pianos available to date, containing well over 7,000 samples. We've also included samples of the little details that make a true piano sound different than the piano setting on a store-bought consumer keyboard, including note-off key release samples, pedal action, and sustain pedal resonance. These are activated during performance via the complex scripting made possible by Presence XT. The samples were recorded to some of the finest analog equipment available, and converted to digital in sterling 24-bit quality.

We've also included two different miking configurations. Arnd Kaiser, General Manager of PreSonus Software, states: The main difference between PreSonus Studio Grand and other pianos is the fact that we include two independent sample sets representing two different microphone configurations. These include a matched pair of German condenser mics in the player's perspective and a pair of fine ribbon mics placed in the listener's perspective. This way, the user can choose or combine mic sets just like recording a real piano in a studio. We've also included 21 Instrument and FX presets to get you started.

The PreSonus Studio Grand is compatible with all versions of Studio One 3 (Prime, Artist and Professional). To be clear, this is the full-featured bigger brother to the piano instrument included in the Presence XT Core library for Studio One 3 Professional and the Presence XT Keyboards Add-on-but at ten times the depth and size! Due to incredible attention to detail, it clocks in at 5.5GB-but in the digital age, disk space is the price we pay for quality. Incidentally, competing software pianos can run you nearly triple the cost of PreSonus Studio Grand.

The Presonus Studio Grand acoustic piano is a sampler instrument for Presence XT, and compatible with all versions of Studio One 3 (Prime, Artist and Professional).
