Ivory II Studio Grands showcases two iconic grand pianos that have been meticulously recorded to capture their unique characteristics. The Steinway Model B Grand Piano, known as "the perfect piano," offers a remarkable balance of size and power that suits a wide range of musical styles. This particular instrument was carefully selected in collaboration with Steinway & Sons and recorded at the renowned Power Station New England. The piano was prepared and voiced by one of Steinway's top concert technicians, ensuring an authentic and expressive sound.

The Bösendorfer 225 Grand Piano, recorded at Firehouse Recording Studios in Pasadena, California, delivers a rich and resonant tone with clarity across all registers. Slightly larger than typical studio grands and featuring extra bass keys, it has played a significant role in the history of recorded music, appearing on numerous acclaimed albums. Captured in a state-of-the-art studio, this piano’s distinctive voice adds depth and warmth to the collection, complementing the Steinway Model B’s versatility.

Ivory II Studio Grands contains a massive 112GB sample library, offering up to 24 velocity levels, additional release samples, and soft pedal samples for detailed realism. The included Ivory 2.5 Piano Engine enhances performance with features such as shimmer control over sustain and decay, half-pedal sensitivity, and assignable MIDI controls. This powerful engine supports both machine-based and traditional iLok licensing, making Ivory II Studio Grands a comprehensive solution for musicians seeking premium grand piano sounds.
