Close your eyes while playing The Grand 3 on a high quality controller keyboard and we think you’ll be very, very impressed with the level of authenticity attained. And thanks to a lossless compression technology, the 88GB of included samples require only around 32GB of free hard drive space, keeping the resource footprint remarkably low for a virtual instrument of its quality. Simply put, we believe that The Grand 3 represents the apex of virtual piano software,” adds Roos. *Dates of availability may vary regionally. **SRP including applicable VAT.
