MeldwayGrand (Download)

Meldway Grand may well be the only software grand piano you will ever need. It’s beautifully realistic, dynamic, and unbelievably customizable with plenty of effects, mic positions, and even a creative section, making this a great sound design tool too!

Only a few pianos deserve to be sampled. And Steinway D is one of the best, this one especially. It’s huge, so the low keys sound perfect. It’s silky smooth, and dynamic. Melda captured every detail with the best gear you could find and paired it with our modern technologies, invented specially for this. It’s a virtual piano made by piano enthusiasts for themselves!

Meldway Grand can be more dynamic than the original. Great for classical music, ambient emotional stuff, soundtracks, you name it.

It comes with 7 stereo microphones with various controls for each, from volume to formants and detuning. First there’s the classic mic stereo pair, which just works every time and is perfectly centered and wide. If you ever played such such a magnificent piano, you know the indescribable feeling of being surrounded by the wall of the piano sound.

Who says that a piano has to sound like a piano? Try the Creative tab with resonators, filters, FM and much more…

Of course, you need a reverb! So how about a set of 25 different algorithmic reverbs created especially for this piano? Then there’s a delay, sonic enhancer, compressor… well and bellizer, distortion, and rotary may not be the first thing to use with a piano, but you know, it’s a sound design tool too!

If you already have MSoundFactory or MSoundFactoryLE, Meldway Grand is completely free to download. You just need to open the instrument installer page and select it.
