Three Glorious Grands in one multi-platform sample-based Virtual Instrument. The largest, most skillfully designed Grand Piano virtual instrument ever! Over 3,500 samples are combined with a sample-playback engine built from the ground up to bring out the resonance, response and character of the world’s finest Concert Grands. Ivory’s superb piano samples were brought to life using no-compromise technology in the finest studios and concert halls. The sessions were produced by Joe Ierardi, an accomplished pianist and award winning sound designer and producer of piano modules for Kurzweil Music Systems®. Ierardi’s unique expertise covers every aspect of piano design, from tuning and regulation, to recording, editing, programming and engine design. "There are many virtual pianos on the market now, but in my opinion, Ivory sounds the best and is the most musical. The piano specific sound control is unlike any other virtual instrument...Simply put, Ivory is at the head of the class, and a Key Buy." “Synthogy’s Ivory goes where no virtual piano has gone before... it is such a major advance in the cause of the virtual grand piano, it is hard to do anything but praise it... With Ivory, I would feel comfortable going out and playing a solo gig for the first time... an extraordinary playing experience!” "In terms of playability I found Ivory to be among the best, if not the best, sampled piano that I've used... The three pianos are well chosen, and I have always been able to find something that suits the track I'm working on... Realism is more than just how a sampled piano sounds, it also includes how it feels to play. I find Ivory to be at the top of the game in both regards... In short, Ivory sounds wonderful! “Joe Ierardi is a very important talent in the creation
of musical sound. Piano sounds have been the hallmark of Kurzweil Music
products for many years, and his sound design is second to none. He has
more experience in this area than anyone in the industry that I can think
of.” "Ivory has the most realistic, musically satisfying and sonically beautiful grand pianos I have ever heard. I'm in love with the sound and I can't stop playing it!
What customers have been saying about Ivory: Hi, folks! I have been "playing" with Ivory ever since it arrived, and it really is a fantastic piano module. The piano sounds are at least the equal of those in the Bösendorfer 290 and Galaxy Steinway programs, and the inclusion of the Yamaha model takes the cake. Even more importantly, I find that Ivory's responsiveness to parameter tweaking surpasses that of the other programs. When I combine any of its piano sounds with Altiverb, I'm in heaven! One has to start with very good source material to create an "ambient" piano of high caliber, and I've finally found my source. Thanks again!
I just wanted to thank you guys for Ivory. It's an answer to why I've spent time and money on computers and keyboards. My sense of elation comes from the fact while I know there are samples and features that I will get to, I feel no sense of urgency to get there: I'm enthralled with what I'm hearing after just a few clicks! Thanks for a great job! Sincerely,
