Waves Grand Rhapsody Piano: Grand Piano – Professional Audio Software & Plugin

There’s a reason why a custom-made Fazioli F228 can cost $200 000 or more and take 2-3 years to complete: crafted from the same Italian red spruce forest used by Antonio Stradivari the tonal consistency rich tone balanced touch superb clarity and powerful bass are in a class of their own.

Sampled with ultimate care and precision at London’s Metropolis Studios Grand Rhapsody captures the sublime tone favored by artists from classical virtuoso Angela Hewitt to Adele who used the very piano we’ve sampled on her hit “Hello.” Breathtaking Sound Just sampling a piano isn’t enough because piano reacts to an acoustic space. Combining Metropolis Studios’ superb acoustics with stereo multi-miking and flexible reverb deliver a grand piano experience.

The Secret Is in the Miking Nothing influences recorded piano sounds as much as mics and mic positions. The original Fazioli was sampled with eight cream-of-the-crop ribbon condenser and dynamic microphone models including Neumann U87 Neuman KM84 AKG C451 and Royer R121—giving you access to all mics in the plugin.

Blend Multiple Mics for Flexibility Grand Rhapsody lets you choose from all 8 mics up to 3 stereo mic pairs at a time.
