4Front ProAudio VST/VSTi
| 4FRONT TruePianos TruePianos is a new virtual piano VSTi based on a combination of physical modeling, synthesis and sampler techniques. Using a combination of the best what these individual technologies have to offer, TruePianos provides great playability by allowing itself to be easily adjusted to the combination of your unique playing style and the specific characteristics of your MIDI keyboard, instead of the other way around. It doesn't attempt to meticulously simulate existing pianos but instead provides realistic and expressive range of piano modules, each with individual dry sounding presets that you 'just play'. |
