The Pianoverse Gran Concerto 278 gives you the chance to experience the expressive power and nuanced tone of one of the finest concert grand pianos in the world. Based on a robot-assisted deep sampling of the renowned Fazioli F278, this virtual instrument provides the rich resonance, wide dynamic range and responsive key action that have made the F278 a favorite of world-class pianists. Whether you're a jazz, classical or studio musician, the Gran Concerto 278 lets you craft moving solos, lush orchestrations or evocative film scores.

Meticulously Sampled From a Masterpiece

To create the Gran Concerto 278, Fazioli's crown jewel F278 concert grand piano was recorded in precise detail. Robot-assisted sampling captured the F278's resonant spruce soundboard and maple frame with stunning realism. The result is a virtual piano that sings with the same depth and clarity as the original. From the thunderous bass to the shimmering highs, you'll feel transported behind the keyboard of this handcrafted work of art.

Tailor Your Sound With Powerful Controls

Shape your tone with the Gran Concerto 278's innovative controls. Adjust lid position, pedal resonance and hammer noise to recreate different performance environments. Choose from multiple mic perspectives, including instrument and room mics. Essential studio tools like EQ, compression and reverb let you craft the perfect sound for your production. You can even explore alternative piano "spaces" with generative reverbs and other effects.

Play With Expression and Nuance

The Gran Concerto 278 gives you seamless dynamic and timbral control. Its new engine with redesigned round robin and voice management provide smooth transitions between velocities. Half-pedaling and catch-pedaling let you infuse performances with subtlety. And with native support for M1 Macs, you'll experience low latency when playing or recording. Whether you rely on keyboard, MIDI controller or DAW automation, the Gran Concerto 278 is engineered to translate your most heartfelt expressions into sound.
