Stage Piano

Four Classic Piano Sounds, Sampled and Modeled with Perfection

Stage Piano includes multi-layer sample sets collected from the world's most impressive acoustic pianos that cost more than a car! With Stage Piano, you can get the best and most sought-after acoustic pianos inside your MPC, FORCE or desktop system. The AIR engineering team has painstakingly sampled each piano model in Germany to make sure they captured the natural beauty of the instrument's acoustic characteristics.

Yamaha C7

This 7-foot-wide piano is one of the world's most in-demand models for the stage and live recording. You can usually find this piano in well-equipped and expensive studios, jazz venues, and hotel lobbies thanks to its rich tone and "just right" natural volume in various spaces.

Steinway D

Since 1853, Steinway Pianos have been famous for their warm, rich, and resonant tones. The Steinway D is known for its unparalleled quality, craftsmanship, and nuanced playability. At over 9 feet wide, it's also one of the most expansive and expensive pianos you could ever buy—it's so big it takes up a whole room!

Bechstein Upright

This legendary piano crafted in Germany has one of the richest histories of all pianos. Bechstein upright and grand pianos use every well-known piano manufacturing process, resulting in instruments capable of subtle nuance and detailed responsiveness. This Bechstein upright model will have you playing classic piano tunes with one of the most iconic piano tones ever.

Workstation

The workstation model was taken directly from AIR's highly acclaimed Xpand!2 sample library and features a "classic" synthesizer workstation style tone with a harder transient attack and more high-end color. It is perfect for getting the piano sound you've heard on thousands of records of the 90s, 00s, and today. This model is your typical "workhorse" piano with a sound that will cut through any mix!

Elegant and Expressive Piano Sounds Sampled from World-Renowned Instruments

Experience the joy of playing the most acclaimed pianos in history with brilliant multi-sampled sounds that offer you access to the original instrument's sonic characteristics and timbre options. With its elegant interface, you can control the piano model's dynamics, age, and even the lid position and mechanics of the hammers. Stage Piano also gives you access to attack and release amplitude control, bringing your concert to life. In addition, Stage Piano includes a powerful FX section allowing you to add creative timbres to your tones.

Take it to the Stage and Put the Pedal to the Metal!

We built Stage Piano with piano players in mind, whether they are on-stage or in the studio. The plugin includes plenty of articulations and foot pedal parameters that give you the natural expression of a real acoustic piano. Each sample set offers separate pedal parameters that will let you adjust the level of sustain resonance, hammer falls, staccato release, and soft pedal to create a genuinely accurate piano performance. As a result, Stage Piano offers the most realistic and engaging piano sound you can hear in your MPC production system.

Built-In Effects Engine to Color and Stylize your Piano Sounds

Stage Piano includes multiple effects like Flavor timbre control, EQ, compression, rich reverb, and delay. Create brilliant shimmers, dark haunting echoes, or spacey washed pianos with a cutting-edge effects engine built into the instrument.

QLINK Mapped Controls for Easy Sound Editing

Each Instrument has parameters laid out for touch screen control using MPC/FORCE QLINK mapping to put the most valuable instrument controls at your fingertips. Sweep filters on the fly, change waveforms with a turn, and pump up the volume with your QLINKS! The touch UI gives instant feedback, and straightforward touch controls get you deep into sound design territory.

Sounds Mode: A fast and intuitive way to get THAT sound!

The new MPC/FORCE sounds browser for standalone makes finding or saving your favorite patch a breeze. Sounds mode for MPC & FORCE Standalone lets you browse patches, change key ranges, and create massive performances!
