A VIRTUAL MODEL D LIKE NO OTHER

After years in development, we are immensely proud to present our largest and most ambitious instrument to date:

The Modern D

INTRODUCING THE MODERN D

The Modern D is our impeccable simulation of the world's most well-known concert grand. Sampled from a 2021 New York Steinway© Model D chosen for its exquisite tone, the Modern D contains 34,615 pristine samples in five stereo microphone setups, all controlled from a beautiful, easy-to-use interface.

INFINITE RESPONSE
Our new Natural Response method recreates the full dynamic range of each key within each mic, generating an incredibly accurate response of the real piano. Many notes have over 50db of true dynamic range, and some sustains can last over two minutes. Whether this piano is bright, mellow, or anywhere in between is entirely dependent on how it is played.

TRUE TO THE SOUND
As always with VI Labs, 100% of the sound is sampled from the real piano, with nothing synthesized or faked. Legendary mics like the M49 and 4006 were chosen to capture everything, including 2,500 release samples per mic, multi-layered sympathetic resonances, sampled Una Corda pedal with its own release samples, plus sampled Muted Strikes, Half Pedal, Silent Strikes, along with Pedal and Key noises.

CUSTOMIZABLE FEATURES
A beautiful interface offers you control over imaging, such as the stereo width, tone and timbre shift, MIDI and dynamics response, 37 pristine convolution reverbs as well as features such as micro tuning and sampled resonance. The improved MIDI panel offers high resolution discrete tables and controls to create custom curves for any response imaginable. And many general and MIDI presets are included, plus save and load your own.

POCKET-SIZED
Despite the colossal amount of samples and multiple microphones, the entire library weighs in at only 18GB thanks to lossless compression and is incredibly efficient in terms of RAM and CPU. For musicians on the go, it will install, load quickly, and run smoothly on basic laptops without any problems.

We’re offering $50 off as an introductory discount for 10 days only, meaning this incredible instrument is available now for only $199 instead of $249. To learn more about the Modern D, you can watch the overview video below or visit our website for complete information and audio demos.
