From intimate melodies to concert-level performances, Velvet Grand is designed to inspire.


🎼 Two Signature Grand Pianos

Imperial Grand — Virtuoso Warmth

Imperial Grand is a Virtuoso Grade piano, selected as one of only four Virtuoso Grade pianos from Supreme Piano 5.

To achieve Virtuoso Grade status, a piano must possess a distinctive musical character, exceptional recording quality, and a complete 127 True Sampled Velocity Layers under MIDI 1.0, delivering extraordinary dynamic precision and expressive control.

Inspired by the legendary Bösendorfer Imperial, this piano delivers a warm, velvety, and highly expressive tone with exceptional continuity across the keyboard.

Its vibrant upper register sings beautifully while the powerful low register provides depth and authority without sacrificing balance or clarity.

• Excellent clarity for fast passages

Imperial Grand excels in music that values melody, projection, and expressive nuance.


NewYork Grand — Elegant Grandeur

NewYork Grand brings the unmistakable warmth and authority of the legendary New York concert grand tradition.

Classified as a Maestro Grade piano, it delivers an elegant and refined tonal character with natural projection, musical presence, and timeless sophistication.

🎛 Beyond the Original Recording

Great piano recordings are shaped not only by the instrument itself, but also by the room, microphones, and recording chain behind them.

Using Sound Magic’s MDIR Sound Stage and High-End Microphone Modeling Technology, Velvet Grand allows you to reshape the character of the original recordings with remarkable flexibility.

Move from intimate studio performances to expansive concert hall ambience, or from vintage warmth to modern high-definition clarity—all within a single instrument.

One Piano Collection. Endless Sonic Possibilities.

🚀 Hybrid Modeling Technology

Velvet Grand combines the authenticity of premium sampling with the responsiveness of advanced physical modeling.

Using Sound Magic’s Hybrid Modeling Technology, 439GB of source recordings are transformed into a highly optimized ~1GB instrument while preserving the natural tone, harmonic richness, and musical character of both pianos.

The result is an instrument that feels responsive, expressive, and alive beneath your fingers.
