Absolute Piano: Erard Upright captures the authentic sound of a cherished upright piano once owned in Paris. This instrument was meticulously recorded in 2007, featuring samples taken every two notes and four velocity layers to offer a broad dynamic range. The latest version introduces smooth crossfades between velocity layers, enhancing transitions for a more natural and expressive playing experience. Unlike many grand concert pianos, this piano delivers a familiar and warm tone reminiscent of the instruments found in homes and schools, aiming to evoke the nostalgic feeling of a childhood piano.

Version 4.2 brings a groundbreaking approach to piano emulation by not only reproducing the piano's sound but also authentically simulating its internal resonance. This update includes new hammer and tonal simulations, sympathetic resonance emulation, and an advanced reverberator combining multiple reverb algorithms for a rich and immersive sound. Additional features such as a standalone host with MIDI tools, a sequencer, and a preset bank manager expand creative possibilities. Enhanced sound quality is achieved through cross-fading and overlapping velocity layers, resulting in a highly detailed and responsive instrument.

Absolute Piano is designed to provide pianists with a lightweight yet powerful instrument that works seamlessly as a VSTi on Windows or as a standalone application. It supports MIDI playback, recording, and conversion to WAV files without complex setups. Users can customize the sound with unique simulation features that allow the piano to be altered from pristine to creatively distorted, accompanied by a suite of high-quality effects tailored for piano. With fast loading times and low system requirements, Absolute Piano lets musicians carry a high-quality piano sound anywhere, offering an intuitive and inspiring musical experience.
