Your premium piano collection
A first-rate collection of virtual pianos makes up the third version of The Grand, consisting foremost of three recorded models based on highly acclaimed grand pianos: the Yamaha C7, the Bosendorfer 290 Imperial and the Steinway D. Alongside two additional virtual pianos with the distinctive character of the vintage Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand and the upright by Nordiska Pianofabriken. As a result, The Grand 3 boasts a variety of piano sounds for different music styles, at a sound quality that is simply phenomenal. Exceeding current standards in virtual piano modeling, The Grand 3 gives musical inspiration a new name!

Play an array of amazing pianos
The Grand 3 boasts completely different piano models than its two predecessors. Plus, The Grand 3 uses intelligent sample architecture and latest recording technology to achieve an even more authentic sonic image and realistic feel. The Yamaha C7 grand piano is the artist's choice — its sound gives you a true concert grand experience, while the expressive tone of the Bosendorfer 290 Imperial provides an extended musical range not found in other pianos. What's more, the incredible sound, responsiveness and superb playing behavior of the Steinway D have also been added to perfectly complement the collection of virtual pianos featured in The Grand 3. The classic Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand has a timbral character that makes it genuinely recognizable. The Nordiska Pianofabriken upright piano is ideal for pop and jazz music.

Superb reverb
The Grand 3 comes with a convolution reverb based on the same technology used by REVerence, the world's first VST3-based convolution reverb processor already featured in Cubase 5. It boasts sumptuously realistic natural space simulation, emulating any acoustic environment, from the smallest live music venue to the most impressive cathedrals. This reverb includes a vast number of impulse responses that put the characteristic sound of some of the world's most distinctive settings immediately in your hands — both in stereo and surround! An algorithmic reverb is also included to increase the amount of reverbs. Over 60 reverb presets give you an amazing amount of flexibility, so you can enhance your piano sound!

Flexible equalization, convenient tuning editor
The Grand 3's powerful and versatile equalizer offers full 4-band parametric control that works as a sum over all output channels with variable response curves and shelving modes, as well as analog-style peak filters. An enhanced tuning editor provides customizable scales and a wealth of presets for tempered and concert tuning. Each tuning situation may be stored and retrieved as preset whenever you need it!

Support of all major formats
The Grand 3 supports all major formats, such as VST and AU. And by supporting ReWire, The Grand 3 runs with any audio workstation, while the standalone version can even be used without any host application at all.
