Synthogy - Ivory Grand Pianos

Ivory is the groundbreaking Grand Piano Virtual Instrument featuring 40 Gigabytes of stunning, new samples of Steinway D, Bosendorfer 290 and Yamaha C7 Grand Pianos.

The Virtual Piano that started it all. Ivory Grand Pianos redefined what virtual instruments could do, combining stunning, world class piano samples with a powerful, software/DSP engine and custom user interface. Ivory's worldwide critical acclaim and popularity has made it the virtual piano of choice for the world's most elite muscians.

Ivory Grand Pianos is a multi-platform plug-in that recreates the sound and playing experience of 3 of the world's great concert grand pianos: the Bosendorfer Imperial 290 Concert Grand, the Steinway D Concert Grand, and the Yamaha C7 Grand. Recorded in the finest concert halls and studios with state of the art equipment, each piano is sampled with extreme attention to detail by award winning sound designer, Joe Ierardi.

These superb sample recordings are brought to life by Synthogy's custom sample playback and DSP engine, built from the ground up to deliver a new level of realism in digital sound creation. Each and every feature in Ivory is designed to bring out all the nuance of the original acoustic instrument's resonance, character and response. Groundbreaking features such as Release Samples that are triggered by both velocity and note duration, Sustain Resonance DSP for realistic damper pedal response, and real Una Corda (soft pedal) samples, are just a few examples of how Ivory's powerful engine delivers the unprecedented realism it is famous for. Use of proprietary Timbre Interpolation technology assures the smoothest velocity and note transitions for each of the pianos, achieving a level of musical playability that is unparalleled.

Synthogy's goal in designing Ivory was not simply to create a piano sample, or even make a virtual instrument, but rather to design a musical instrument. One that could meet the exacting performance standards of the most demanding and accomplished players, and at the same time be enjoyed by all of those who love piano.

Additionally, Ivory has been designed to meet the needs of anyone who requires piano in their musical production. Ivory's DSP engine includes world class digital effects such as Ambience, EQ and Chorusing. A host of custom controls such as Timbre, Stereo Width and Perspective, Mechanical Key Noise, Timbre Control, Stretch and Equal Tempered Tuning are placed at the user's fingertips to quickly tailor the sound and performance of Ivory to personal taste and to your production mix.

Finally, Ivory places all of this control and power in a simple, intuitive, and highly attractive user interface. Ivory is the complete package, but one only needs to sit down and play it to understand why players, critics, producers and engineers all over the world have acclaimed its brilliance and surpassing musicality. Ivory is an extraordinary playing experience!




"Ivory is as close to playing a real grand piano as you are ever going to get with our current technology. In my opinion, you could easily substitute Ivory for any "real" grand piano track recorded live."
Jim Miller

"Without a doubt, Ivory is the most comprehensive and best sample library for Concert Piano… recommended for both Classical music as well as Jazz and Pop/Rock styles. What did we do for piano sounds before Ivory?"

"Musical and rich… Ivory contains three top notch pianos with beautiful user interface. It can be supplemented with the 'extra' [Italian Grand], that's unique on the market today. From a quality point of view, this is probably the most high-grade piano package in our roundup…"
