VILabs Ravenscroft 275 for UVI Expansion

At VI Labs we believe that some instruments truly can inspire and take your creativity to new levels. Ravenscroft 275 is one of these rare instruments. This one-of-a-kind concert grand has been recreated using nearly 17,000 samples and 4 discrete microphones, controlled from an easy to use interface. Our goal was to emulate all aspects of the 275’s detailed voice using the latest sampling technology and let this amazing piano speak with clarity. The result: a virtual piano like no other.

Reproducing the tone and playability of a concert grand like the 275 Titanium is no easy task. Precise playing velocities plus complex harmonic interactions and details are carefully sampled and then controlled by a powerful script and engine. Control is similar to a modeled virtual piano but entirely sample-based. Touch response is consistent no matter the controller used. All while keeping your resource usage minimal and offering fast load times.

It’s one piano that works for all styles. And gorgeous detail is abundant. Rich clear hammer attacks, unique Muted Strikes, staccato Release Trails, real sampled Una Corda pedal, and sampled Resonance all lead to a level of realism previously unobtainable in a virtual piano. If the usual piano tones have worn out their welcome and it’s time for something fresh, the Ravenscroft 275 is here. This is truly a pianist’s virtual piano.

Acousticsamples Mark79 for UVI Falcon Expansion

The Mark79 is based on a 1979 Mark II 73 Keys Electric Piano from 1979.

The first Mark II were identical to the Mark I’s in terms of sound generation part, meaning that the hammers, hammer tips, the tines and the amplification were the same as the late Mark I models.
That being said, there is a noticeable difference when compared to the early Mark I models, the tines were not made of the same exact material and ended up producing a more even sound with a bit lett highs and more controlled bass. the attack and sustain characteristics changed a little as well.

All this added to the hammer tips changes makes the MarkII sound different from an early Mark I and deliver the tones of the well known Chick Corea’s “Return to forever” sound.

Authentic tine sound

We recorded the Mark79 from both the direct output using a state of the art DI (Universal Audio Solo 610) and also using a pair of microphones right above the keys next to where the head of a player would be.

With our precise resonance model, our detailed staccato and release adjustments and the meticulous velocity layer transitions, the Mark79 is truly the most detailed and accurate recreation of the famous tines electric piano sound.

Acousticsamples C7 Grand for UVI Falcon Expansion

The C7Grand library is based on a Yamaha C7 Grand piano. The C7 is the biggest of the C series (227cm / 7’6″) and is one of the most used pianos as it is present on many concert stages, studios and prestigious music events.

We wanted to capture its delicate, bright and precise sound that you hear everywhere, so we used every technology and piano simulation tools that we worked on over the years and here it is, the C7 Grand with all of the features you can think of, multiple microphones (3 different stereo perspectives), half pedal, repedal, sympathetic resonances and many other that we will detail below.

It is also very customizable as we know that not everybody has the same digital piano or has the same taste, you can change every aspect of it, the overall sound, the tuning (even complex microtuning are possible) or the MIDI response.
