Review Snippets

  • Praises the warm tone and extended bass of the Bösendorfer Imperial.
  • Yes, you have a control over the pedal levels. I always seem to reach for those first!
  • The close mix is so useful, I wish they included it in the full versions as well. That way you can have a very rich sound without combining 7 mics together. It's one of my main problems with multi microphone VSTs such as VSL pianos to get a basic decent sound that a 2GB VST would produce naturally,
  • I have the trial of this piano for the first time I feel more like playing in a real piano
