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 a VST/AU/AAX-compatible plugin host. 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!
