Glamour Grand
Extreme Beautiful, Emotional Grand Piano
Neo Piano Chapters aims at providing the highest quality piano sound at an affordable price. Each piano is carefully picked to ensure the sound quality meets our high standards. Neo Piano Chapters is not a permanent product; each piano will only stay three months at the most before being replaced by newer pianos. Thus it will keep refreshing monthly to provide more sounds to musicians.
Glamour Grand originates from a classic Steinway D Grand Piano, celebrated for its rich and mellifluous tones. Often, piano enthusiasts describe the instrument’s sound as having two distinct facets—a wooden resonance and a metallic, percussive quality. Glamour Grand elevates the wooden essence to an extraordinary level, intensifying the emotional depth in music. This unique characteristic imparts a magical quality to its sound, particularly when handling passages that evoke deep emotions.
With an amazing intro price, Glamour Grand is extremely affordable to all musicians
HD Velocity Layer 3 with HDR (High Dynamic Range) Technology
The dynamic of a piano is the most decisive aspects of its sound quality. Around 10 years ago, Sound Magic had already applied a True Piano Dynamic system which can represent piano dynamic in the most efficient way. And in years, we keep improving the performance. A True Piano Dynamic means the piano will have different dynamics from low notes to high notes; usually, high notes will have more dynamic range. Now, our True Piano dynamic system enables every note to have its unique dynamic range, and it can be fully controlled by knobs.
Neo Piano Chapters is powered by Hybrid Modeling technology and HD Velocity Layer 3 with HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology (support up to 65,536 velocity layers) providing a natural boost to expressive power that can be felt with every strike of the keys. Along with the new Neo Piano engine, which achieves 400 times more variations than a traditional sample engine, every note played is unique, creates vivid sound representation, and strikes a rich, accurate tone even with small movement. In essence, it’s an instrument with a musical soul instead of a machine feel. What is more, in this new version we allow you to experience this in a system which only supports 127 velocity layers by applying HDR. This makes this technology can be used without any cost upgrading your MIDI system.
Add Several Resonances to the Beautiful Sound
Resonances play an important role in a piano’s sound. It adds extra beauty to the overall sound. Reality dictates that every grand piano’s sizeable soundboard reflects sound that resonates in conjunction with the wooden body of the instrument itself. Indeed, it is this continuous process that makes every note played sound so unique.
Ultimately, in order to simulate this behavior, Sound Magic captured multi-angled IRs (Impulse Responses) from the soundboard, and then used modelling technology to convert those IRs into Multi-Dimensional Resonance algorithms. The result? An amazingly true-to-life concert hall sound readily available at anyone’s fingertips!
Sympathetic Resonance happens when Harmonics are heard in keys related to keys that are struck. It is an interaction between different strings and adds extra color to every note’s sound. It makes them sound unique so that the audience can enjoy listening.
Sustain Resonance and String Resonance can be heard when sustain pedals are pressed. Although they are subtle sometimes, as a part of Piano resonance, Our Neo Piano Engine has the ability to represent different resonances in the right way, and provide controls on their amount and behavior.
Meticulous Damper Controls
Neo Piano Engine also modelled the behavior of the damper, which controls when the sound should stop. With damper controls, musicians can choose whether it is a newly built piano, or a piano that’s 20 years old. Also, it is interesting that users can try to change the material of the damper from soft to hard; they can experience the differences in sound.
