Spitfire Audio has announced the release of a new virtual instrument which brings the sound of an iconic 1901 Steinway B grand, once owned by film composer Michel Magne.
An undeniably classic tone, equally suitable for media composers and producers, Château Piano is the definitive sound of a golden era in rock and pop.
Known equally for its bright, percussive attack – think Crocodile Rock – that cuts perfectly through a dense mix, as the warmth and resonance that adds heart to Rocket Man, Daniel, or Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road, this gorgeous grand piano has been exquisitely captured with a collection of valve and condenser microphones, including a pair vintage Neumann U67s in the same positioning as the original Elton John recordings.
Alongside onboard effects, more than 50 presets, and multiple microphone signals, Château Piano gives you both the inspirational authentic sounds, and the tools to make it your own.
Château Piano for the Spitfire Audio App (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is on sale for the intro price of €119 EUR / $127 USD for a limited time (regular €149 EUR / $159 USD).
