NO SAMPLER REQUIRED!

PMI BOSENDORFER 290 comes as a VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT which includes a high-performance NATIVE INSTRUMENTS interface powered by the efficient KONTAKT audio engine, including Direct-from-Disk*, for Mac and PC (*You can use the freely-downloadable Direct-from-Disk extension).

The VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT combines intuitive handling with excellent 24-bit sound quality, and functions as a plug-in instrument, without the need for a sampler.

For the sonically adventurous, many sound shaping tools have been built in to the interface. Powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, and LFOs give a wealth of creative possibilities. Integrated high-quality reverb, chorus, and delay effects are also provided.

Direct from Disk playback easily handles large samples beyond available RAM (which is assignable).

The PMI Bösendorfer 290 Virtual Instrument can be used stand-alone on a Mac and PC or under any sequencer application such as Cubase, Sonar, Cakewalk, Logic, DP, ProTools etc. The built-in effects make it very easy to create the exact sound you need and the sequencer integration makes recording this piano as simple as can be.
