The Pianoverse MAX virtual instrument plug-in gives you an inspiring palette of world-class pianos and creative tools to craft your ideal sound. With MAX, serious musicians can explore 30 revolutionary sound Spaces along with 12 powerful effects to design one-of-a-kind piano textures. MAX also provides an All Access subscription option for unlimited inspiration.

World-Class Concert Grands at Your Fingertips

Pianoverse MAX offers a curated collection of prestigious pianos from Steinway, Yamaha, Bösendorfer and Fazioli. Each instrument was meticulously sampled in a top Italian recording studio using a cutting-edge robotic system to capture every nuance. With adjustable lid position, harp resonance and pedal noise controls, you can shape each piano's character to your needs. With half-pedaling and una corda support, MAX gives you authentic pedaling techniques for expressive performances.

Generative Sound Spaces for Cinematic Inspiration

Where other virtual pianos end, MAX is just getting started. It features 30 Sound Spaces ranging from legendary concert halls to experimental environments. Each Space uses advanced generative reverberation to create a lush, evolving ambient soundscape. Spaces like Iceberg, Desert and Mars are ideal for film scoring, while Club and Cathedral suit traditional piano playing. With flexible controls, you can craft never-before-heard textures to inspire your creativity. MAX offers the most immersive piano sound design experience available.

High-End Effects and Sound Sculpting Tools

To fully customize your sound, MAX provides 12 powerful effects like reverbs, delays, filters and more. You can load three effects at once, with the first acting as a send effect and the other two as insert effects. MAX also gives you four modulation sources—two envelopes and two LFOs—to animate your sound. From subtle enhancement to extreme manipulation, these effects offer an unparalleled range of sound-sculpting options for pianists and composers.
