Three classic pianos are generously included. A piano sound source with even more flexible control!

■Software Piano Sound Source

- ""GALAXY II GRAND PIANO / KP4"" is a piano sound source featuring the sounds of three legendary concert grand pianos: the classic Steinway D, the Bosendorfer Imperial, and the 1929 German Baby Grand (Bluethner 150).

- The included sounds are comprised of over 6,000 24-bit samples, including multiple velocities (up to 13 layers), release samples, and hammer, pedal, damper, and string noise sounds. Not only does it support sustain/sostenuto/una corda pedals, and sound control such as dynamic range, sound color, fine tuning, stereo width, convolution reverb, velocity curve adjustment, bass key intensity setting, and grand piano lid opening adjustment, it also features a warp engine that allows for sound design beyond that of traditional pianos, allowing you to distort the sounds of famous instruments and mix in pad sounds.
