City Piano: The Magnificent Sound of a Baldwin Grand Piano in Your DAW
Finding the perfect piano for your music projects can be a challenge. The City Piano plugin from bigcat Instruments offers an elegant solution – the authentic sound of a Baldwin Baby Grand piano, available directly in your digital audio workstation. This virtual instrument is designed for musicians and producers who value the deep, rich tone and expressiveness of a live acoustic piano. Thanks to careful sampling and multi-layered dynamics, City Piano allows you to realize the most diverse musical ideas, from gentle ballads to powerful arrangements for different genres.
The Feel of a Real Grand Piano
At the heart of City Piano lies a high-quality set of samples recorded from a real Baldwin Baby Grand piano. Baldwin instruments are known for their unique, warm and expressive timbre. Each note of the original instrument was carefully recorded for the most realistic reproduction. The result is a piano that feels and sounds like a real acoustic instrument, adding depth and authenticity to your recordings. Whether you need gentle accompaniment, a bright melodic line, or a harmonic framework, City Piano provides a sound that inspires creativity.
Dynamics and Expression in Every Note
City Piano achieves natural dynamics through the use of 4 velocity layers. The volume and timbre of each note change naturally, imitating the behavior of acoustic hammers, depending on the force of the “stroke.” This multi-layered architecture allows you to achieve extraordinary expressiveness and realism in performance, conveying the finest dynamic and tonal nuances, from pianissimo to fortissimo. This makes City Piano ideal for performing both complex classical works and modern arrangements, where maximum sensitivity to touch is required.
