Posted on by

Sound Magic has updated its free Piano One plug-in for Windows to version 1.3.

Changes since Version 1.2:

  • Added more internal filter parameters for presets to use.
  • Use filter system in commercial products to replace the one used in previous system.
  • Improved CPU usage on some AMD system.
  • Previous Presets are also needed to update to fit for Version 1.3.
  • Many minor changes.

The Sound of Piano One comes from the Yamaha C7 concert grand, a true workhorse in the professional piano world, appearing on famous concert stages, in international competitions and in prestigious music events throughout the world.

By utilizing the Sound Magic Hybrid Modeling Engine, Piano One offers both the Realistic Sound of Sampling and the Playability of Modeling. Hybrid Modeling provides an instantaneous feeling – no delay – and a truer and richer sound than can be created with either sampling or modeling alone. What’s more, Piano One utilizes only 150MB, which is quite a small footprint, making Piano One usable even on older PCs. There is no waiting time when loading and the CPU usage is so small that it’s virtually unnoticeable.
