Piano Power, Precisely Sampled
The Concert D is a masterpiece of both sound and design. To capture its full range of nuances, Vienna’s engineers developed a highly precise motion-control system featuring a solenoid-operated, noise-free “robot finger.” This micro-controller moves the finger with superhuman precision, allowing for flexible curvatures in both key down-strokes and release movements. While offering fewer velocity layers than the premium Synchron Concert D-274 collection, this “Essentials” version delivers breathtaking realism. Recorded in the exceptional acoustics of the expansive main hall of Vienna Synchron Stage – renowned for its warm, transparent, and natural sound – this space serves as the perfect backdrop for the majestic D-274.
Your Steinway Sound
Whether you’re practicing Chopin études or composing a song, achieving a finely tuned sound is key to creating a memorable performance – and we’ve got you covered with masterfully crafted presets that you can shape to create your individual Steinway tone. From adjusting resonance and shaping individual key dynamics to filtering specific ranges or even tweaking individual notes, the intuitive interface of the Synchron Piano Player puts unparalleled creative control at your fingertips while offering a natural, hyper-realistic playing experience. Adjust the body resonance, add algorithmic reverb for extra depth, and refine your sound with ease. This versatile library gives you access to all the essentials of the full Concert D-274 edition – at an entry level price, but with a priceless sound!
