Description

The Modern D is a flagship virtual grand piano plugin from VI Labs, meticulously sampled from a 2021 New York Steinway Model D. Known for its exquisite tone and immense power, this plugin is one of the most ambitious and largest piano sample libraries available. It features an astounding 34,615 samples captured in five stereo microphone setups, giving users complete control over a massive range of tones, from intimate and close to wide and distant.

Modern D is celebrated for its realism and playability, achieved through VI Labs’ advanced scripting and sampling techniques. Key features include:

• Deeply Sampled Resonance: Entirely sample-based sympathetic and pedal resonance, providing a rich, complex, and evolving tone.
• Comprehensive Pedals: Full control over all three grand piano pedals (sustain, una corda, sostenuto), including sampled half-pedaling and repedal.
• Detailed Release Trails: Over 2,500 release samples per mic, including true staccato releases that capture the resonant ring of the piano.
• Intuitive Interface: A beautiful, easy-to-use interface with an interactive mic display and a dedicated MIDI panel for customizing timbre and volume response.
