Italian Grand is now a free-standing plug-in that no longer requires prior installation of Ivory.

The Italian Grand is a magnificent addition to Ivory’s award-winning collection of pianos. The sound is uniquely expressive, from its smooth, delicate pianissimo iterations through to an explosive fortissimo that will satisfy the most lion-hearted of performers.

Expertly regulated and recorded at the famed SUNY Purchase concert hall in New York using Class-A equipment, this Italian 10-foot Concert Grand is well known for its dynamics, expressiveness and full-bodied character. Twelve velocity layers are included in this virtual instrument, as well as soft pedal samples and release samples at multiple velocity and duration levels. And now, Ivory Italian Grand now comes complete with Synthogy’s exclusive Ivory Piano Engine (other Ivory piano samples not included).

FEATURES:

         • 19 GB core library
         • Over 2,000 samples
         • 12 discrete velocity layers
         • Una corda (soft) samples and release samples
         • All Ivory pianos can be accessed from one interface

“Not surprisingly, Italian Grand sounds simply stunning. Using a good, weighted MIDI keyboard, you could record classical music on this piano and no one would ever know — that’s how phenomenal it is.” —KEYBOARD MAGAZINE

Ivory Intelligent Browsing
Ivory’s “unified interface” feature enables you to use just a single instance, and one interface, to play and control all of Ivory’s pianos, no matter how many pianos you install. So whether you own one, any two, or all three Ivory products, Ivory’s intelligent browsing feature allows you to load any piano from one convenient interface.
