Absolute Piano is a VST plug-in software that offers innovative features and a high-quality sound bank. Its standalone version allows users to play, learn, and record piano MIDI files to WAV format.
Beyond optimization, the software offers a unique creative outlet for users. Absolute Piano features a sound sculpture filter specifically designed for the program. This filter is a 3 band shelving filter that provides you with the ability to "sculpt" the piano timber. With this feature, you can easily create warm or old piano, ragtime or classical sound with ease.
The Absolute Piano also includes specific effects that have been designed specifically for this program. For example, the reverberator is very powerful and warm without adding any unneeded ringing resonance. Additionally, the chorus effect provides the authentic style of a piano bar, while the peak boost adds a punchy attack to rock and pop styles. The multi-tap echo can be synced to tempo and the compressor and limiter are top-notch. The effects add to the overall versatility and quality of the Absolute Piano program.
Furthermore, the Absolute Piano has included pre-recorded, high-quality background sounds for users to add to their pieces. The sounds range from restaurant and concert ambiance to a variety of weather sounds like thunderstorms or snow. This feature provides users with the ability to add emotional depth to their pieces and rediscover their favorite music.
Finally, I was most impressed by the synthesizer features. The high-quality filter allows for low pass, high pass or bandpass as well as notch, constant gain and saturation, resonance and self-oscillation with the volume envelope. The possibilities for creative synthesis are truly endless with this software.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend the Absolute Piano to anyone who wants robust, creative software when it comes to piano sounds. The program offers optimization, unique effects, and creative features that allow users to produce high-quality sound and tap into their creativity like never before.
