Virtual Instrument : Univers Sons/Ultimate Sound Bank Acoustic Piano - macmusicUnivers Sons / Ultimate Sound Bank introduces a brand new UVI Soundpack : Acoustic Piano.

"Acoustic Piano features surely one of the best sounding sampled pianos in the market. True to our beliefs, we don't think it's about figures (like velocity , memory, number of mikes) but about feeling. A good sounding piano is a rare alchemy between the instrument, the acoustic in the recording studio, the microphones and above all, the engineer's taste. This piano is not our first endeavour, in fact it's the fourth, so we got the chance to see the "magic" thing happen.", said Alain Etchart, Founder and Director of Marketing at Univers Sons / Ultimate Sound Bank.

Thanks to the UVI Soundsource download concept, the price/quality ratio is unbeatable and explicit audio demos are available for users to make up their mind.

Compatible with every configuration thanks to the free UVI Workstation, Acoustic Piano is available now for $59 as digital download at :
