The Perfect
Production Piano

The piano is the most played, recorded, and emulated instrument in the world, and finding the right one can be a challenge. Piano V aims to change that.

Any Type of Piano

Warm classical, punchy hip hop, platinum pop, shimmering cinematic; from the timeless to the most outside-the-box piano concepts, Piano V’s 12 models cover an entire spectrum of ebony & ivory sound to breathe new life into your production, performance, and composition.

Ultra-Real, No Samples Needed

Say no to heavy sample libraries and inconsistent sonic response - Piano V’s engine represents a real-time simulation of the physics and acoustics of a piano, guaranteeing consistency, authenticity, and flexibility that transcends the real thing

Instant Customization

More impact? Deeper harmonics? A wider sound? Any adjustments you need are no more than a click away. Piano V’s advanced engine gives you total control over the behavior of your piano - no tools or tuning forks required.

Studio included

Experiment with mic positions, immerse your piano in real acoustic space, and polish every aspect of your sound without ever leaving Piano V’s interface. This is a full production piano studio, fully equipped to slot the finest piano sounds seamlessly into your projects.

Imagine having 12 CUSTOMIZED SPACES, each containing a different model of piano, surrounded by equipment to maximize its sonic potential.

Piano V brings these magnificent instruments to life in the virtual sphere like never before.

American Grand

A warm, balanced sound with plenty of projection, ideal for classical performance clarity.

German Grand

A softer, resonant sound brimming with luxurious character; the
quintessential grand piano.

Japanese Grand

Pristine, modern, and bright, this grand offers a more contemporary sound that makes every note shine.

Pop Grand

An immediate Crystal-clear sound that commands attention, perfect for cuttting trough any mix

Cassical Upright

Warm, dynamic, and harmonically rich, this contemporary upright swaps projection for intimacy.

Jazz Upright

A modern upright boasting a rounder and more mellow sound, ideal for expressive blues and jazz.

Pop Upright

A close sound with huge dynamic range; perfect for contemporary pop mixes where a grand is too much.

Piano-Bar Upright

Sentimental and a little rough around the edges, this upright comes full of quirk and character.

Plucked Grand

A grand that swaps hammers for plucks, producing an organic stringy sound with unique resonance.

Tack Upright

With altered hammers, this upright boasts a sharper, more metallic attack on each note.

Glass Grand

Urgent, edgy, and bold in the higher frequencies, this glass-framed design is for those outside-the-box moments.

Metal Grand

Bold and bright, this metal-framed piano brings distinct overtonessuited to modern cinematic andambient sounds.

The Universal Musical Instrument

The piano isn’t just the most successful keyboard in history. It’s also the first velocity-sensitive one, with a sound so infectious it influenced literally every style of music.

Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731) invented the piano as we know it. He called it the pianoforte, which translates as “soft loud.” It was hardly the first keyboard instrument — the organ and harpsichord came well before — but they played notes at more or less the same volume.

Cristofori felt something was missing, and devised a hammers-and-strings action that allowed notes to speak not just louder but also harmonically brighter when played with more force. At first, the musical establishment said what they always say when new technology disrupts the status quo: “Meh, people won’t get it.” Like so many times before and after, they were wrong.

Intuitive Control

Piano V’s main window gives you only the most essential controls you need to adjust your sound in real-time. Tweak, customize, and play uninterrupted.

Choose Your Model

Quickly switch between any of Piano V’s 12 models for quick comparisons, so you can hone in on the perfect piano for your project.

Refine Your Sound

4 versatile controls, 4 focused ways to change your sound in an instant. Find the perfect type of response, clarity, and character to suit your style.

Shape Your Space

Dial in whatever degree of ambience your piano needs with the Reverb control, from dry room space to drenched convolution reverb.

Action

Pianos are physical, kinetic instruments; Piano V allows you to go beyond the real thing by tapping into their mechanical behavior, from adjusting hammer action to refining their dynamic response. Create a piano action that’s truly your own.

Acoustics Shape

The projection and resonance of any of the 12 piano models to suit your performance or production. Lift the lid for a full sound, adjust the soundboard’s response, and even dial in Duplex resonance for colorful harmonic overtones.

Mics

Choose how your piano is captured by cycling through multiple mic configurations to suit any style, incorporate room sound into the mix for an immersive feel, and inject some extra stereo width for those cinematic chorus moments.

Strings

Tailor your piano’s tuning to maximize resonance, introduce dissonance, or create unique harmonic content to fit your mixes. You can even age your strings with a single click for that characterful worn-in sound.

Noises

The strings aren’t the only thing that makes sound on a piano. Dial in additional noise from hammers, keys, and pedalsfor that real instrument-in-motion feel.

Keyboard

Match Piano V to your playing style and calibrate it to match any MIDI controller simply by playing the way you play - Piano V does all the work. The world’s quickest and easiest velocity curve editor.

Dual Oscillators

Craft beautiful, imposing, evolving sounds from the very first note; that huge CS sound starts with its 2 oscillators, each with dedicated LFOs to modulate pulse width.

Touch Response

Further emphasizing CS-80 V's expression-centred design, you can adjust how velocity and aftertouch affect volume and brilliance, independently for each oscillator section.

Factory Sounds

Just like the original, instantly recall the beautifully vintage tones built into the factory models with a single button - the perfect old-school synth tones, oozing with character.

A Machine That Feels

Like many of its vintage-inspired peers, CS-80 V embodies the coveted purity of analog sound design.

Arturia's engineers recreate every aspect of the original instruments, down to the finest vibrations for a response that sounds and feels as tangible as the real thing.

Physical modeling uses mathematical models and algorithms to recreate the material reactions and unique interplay of both physical and electronic components. Its development has been pioneered since the ‘70s, with major breakthroughs from Stanford University in the USA and IRCAM in France opening the doors to exciting new methods and concepts.

It’s these breakthroughs that form the basis of Phi®, Arturi'as exclusive physical modeling technology that allows us to perfectly mimic the resonant and mechanical behavior of an instrument. No details are left out of the equation, from the transient detail of the attack to the harmonic structure as the note releases; from the type of material the instrument is made of to the size and tonal properties of the room it was played in.

This provides a huge level of expression and finesse to musicians and producers, far exceeding the possibilities of sampling, and even the original instruments themselves.
