Let's face it, 97 notes of eight velocity layers with separate Release and Soft Pedal samples will stretch the most generous of resources, and sure enough, I found that there was not enough memory assigned to the host sequencer under OS 9 - Ivory brought up an error message to this effect. I was further encouraged when I tried to load some of the more ambitious eight-layer versions of the extended Bösendorfer. It was a pleasure to just sit down and play after the installation without having to spend a couple of hours de-bugging, which has happened to me a lot with large sample libraries lately. Ivory 's Bösendorfer also loaded and played back without serious problems, something no piano has done for me since Stereo Grand ECO on EXS24.

Having managed until now with EXS24 loading Akai samples and other tired and outdated formats, my immediate response was that the wait to find a decent virtual grand piano has been well worth it. Following installation (see the box below), I started with the Bösendorfer, as I have always had ideas above my station (and it is the first to load). Ivory offers samples from three grand pianos: a nine-foot Steinway D concert grand, a seven-foot Yamaha C7 Studio grand, and the biggest of the lot, a Bösendorfer Imperial grand (in 88-note and nine-octave 97-note versions).

It runs under both OS 9 and OS X, and host support is equally comprehensive - it can run in VST and AU hosts, as well as under Pro Tools and Digital Performer.

This fact has come to light because Joe has now teamed up with a DSP software designer called George Taylor to produce Ivory - a plug-in which offers sampled pianos of the same extraordinary quality to Mac users for the princely sum of £189. It would appear that Kurzweil had a secret weapon - a gentleman by the name of Joe Ierardi who was solely responsible for sampling and crafting the fine piano sounds that have been loaded into the various different generations of Kurzweil keyboards. Even in 2004, the one instrument which I enjoyed gigging with the most was a Kurzweil PC88, which considering its vintage, has an amazing piano sound.Īnd now I know why. I don't think I have ever heard a Kurzweil synth that didn't have a decent acoustic piano sound.

Synthogy's Ivory goes where no virtual piano has gone before, sampling three full-size grand pianos to form a detailed library more than 30 Gigabytes in size - and all in one £189 plug-in!
