Close and ambient feeds can be mixed together and EQвЂ™d in various combinations, with a convolution reverb on hand for even more options. Thirdly, thereвЂ™s flexibility in the form of multiple audio вЂperspectivesвЂ™, derived from some tasty mic arrays. Secondly, thereвЂ™s an endorsement: Abbey Road Studio One was used for the sessions. With almost identical appearance when running as a plug-in or stand-alone app, CFX Concert GrandвЂ™s interface is based around five main pages, with the keyboard, pitch parameters and mixer common to all of them.Firstly, theyвЂ™ve gone for originality: the single piano thatвЂ™s been sampled, a nine-foot Yamaha CFX grand, has rarely (if ever) been sampled before.

So with CFX Concert Grand (which IвЂ™m going to henceforth call вЂCFXвЂ™) Garritan have taken a multi-pronged approach. ItвЂ™s tough for virtual pianos to stand out in what is a very crowded marketplace, especially when mature products like SynthogyвЂ™s Ivory have become almost industry standards. There had previously been the Authorized Steinway Virtual Concert Grand Piano, but thatвЂ™s now discontinued, and whatвЂ™s on test here is an entirely new product. GarritanвЂ™s latest library raises the bar for virtual piano instruments.Д¬FX Concert Grand is the first dedicated piano instrument that Garritan have released since being bought by MakeMusic Inc, the developers of the notation app Finale, at the end of 2011.
