Imperial Grand combines the distinctive sounds of three renowned Bösendorfer Grand Pianos into a single instrument that offers musicians a rich palette for creative expression. By integrating the Bösendorfer 290SE, Kaiser II, and Austrian Gem models, this VST delivers a wide range of tonal characteristics, from the dark, lush tones of the 290SE to the full-bodied resonance of the Kaiser II and the balanced clarity captured in the Austrian Gem’s concert hall recording. This collection provides an authentic piano experience that caters to diverse musical genres, including classical, new age, jazz, and pop.

More than a traditional piano instrument, Imperial Grand serves as a powerful songwriting companion through its inclusion of over 100 professionally crafted piano loops across various styles. These loops come with multiple BPM versions, enabling musicians to easily integrate inspiring pre-recorded layers into their compositions. This feature offers a streamlined creative process, making it accessible for beginners and seasoned players alike to produce polished piano tracks without extensive composing knowledge. The combination of Hybrid Modeling and HD Velocity Layer technology ensures expressive dynamics and subtle tonal variations, creating a natural and emotive playing experience.

Imperial Grand provides extensive customization options, allowing users to fine-tune up to 40 parameters including lid position, tone, harmonics, dampers, dynamic range, and velocity response. Multiple microphone perspectives and a Style Designer knob enable tailoring of the piano’s character to fit a broad range of musical contexts. Additional innovations such as the Scala Tuning System, Multi-Dimensional Resonance engine, and AI-assisted velocity response calibration enhance the instrument’s realism and responsiveness. This combination of detailed sound design and intuitive control establishes Imperial Grand as a sophisticated tool for capturing the expressive nuances of a grand piano.
