The quest for the perfect, live, and expressive sound of an acoustic grand piano in digital music is a constant challenge. Traditional sampler libraries with fixed layers often burden the system and have limited dynamics, which does not fully convey the depth of the performance.
To meet these challenges, Tascam presents CVPiano – an innovative VST instrument. This plugin uses a unique spectral morphing technology to achieve extraordinary realism and expressiveness of sound, offering a new level of quality for your music.
Spectral Morphing Technology in CVPiano
How It Works
The key feature of CVPiano is spectral morphing technology. Instead of using numerous bulky layers of samples for different volume levels, CVPiano processes only one basic sample of keystroke velocity. Using this basic sample, spectral morphing filters dynamically interpolate and change the frequency characteristics of the sound. This allows for the continuous change of timbre and spectral composition of the sound during and after note playback, creating extremely natural and continuous spectral changes, unlike static samples.
Key Benefits for the Musician
- Extremely natural and continuous spectral changes in sound.
- Significantly higher musicality and expressiveness of performance.
- More than ten times better dynamic expression compared to regular samplers.
- Less consumption of system resources and memory.
- High playability and maximum realism of the instrument’s sound.
Source of Sound: The Legendary KAWAI Grand Piano
About the Instrument
The basis for CVPiano was the sound of a specific, carefully selected instrument – a 7-foot 4-inch KAWAI Grand Piano concert grand piano. This outstanding instrument is located in the world-famous Electric LarryLand Studios in Austin, Texas, which is famous for its acoustic capabilities and equipment.
Exceptional Recording Quality
The grand piano that was sampled to create CVPiano has recently undergone a complete restoration and is known for its deep, shimmering, and crystal-clear tone. Its unique and expressive sound has been used in numerous professional recordings created by nine-time Grammy Award-winning sound engineer Larry Seyer. This fact is the best confirmation of the high quality and musical value of the instrument, whose authentic sound is now available in your digital audio workstation (DAW) thanks to the CVPiano plugin.
Tascam CVPiano is not just another virtual piano, it is a powerful tool that opens up new horizons in creating extremely realistic and emotionally rich piano parts in your music. Thanks to the innovative spectral morphing technology and the high-quality sample of a legendary instrument, you get an expressive, dynamic, and live grand piano sound that perfectly integrates into your creative process, allowing you to focus on the music and not on technical limitations.
