The 1971 Estonia Grand Piano is a comprehensively deep-sampled soviet-era Grand Piano. The Estonia Piano line is known as the secret Steinway of Eastern Europe – with a uniquely dark, emotional, and melancholic characteristic. The Estonia Grand contains both Sustains, Staccato and Plucked articulations, which can seamlessly be tailored together based on your compositional needs. The short note staccatos were recorded with 5 RR pr. velocity layer – offering you the ability to play incredibly fast licks with clear definition on the attack of the sound. The 1971 Estonia Grand Piano also contains our latest Chaos FX designed for sound design. We included many of our new custom Textural Convolution Delays, which gives the instrument the ability to delay textures from other non-piano sound sources.
KOTO 17, the seventh title in the Virtuoso Japanese Series, brings the sounds of the 17-string bass koto, an indispensable part of modern Japanese music, to music creators everywhere. Coming three years after the development of KOTO 13, KOTO 17 benefits from advanced features that coax new tonal qualities from the library. Naturally, KOTO 17 can be used as a solo instrument. But it complements the 13-string koto and shakuhachi extraordinarily well, making it an essential component in both classical and contemporary Japanese music circles. And when paired with other titles from the Virtuoso Japanese Series, such as KOTO 13, KOTO 20, or Shakuhachi, KOTO 17 can complete an incredibly powerful ensemble.
We rerecorded our 1965 Vintage DANELECTRO Baritone Guitar and went deeper this time. Thanks to its many round robins (30 ALTERNATIVE SAMPLES PER KEY), it is as alive as a source of new inspiration. Iconic guitar melodies can be written with ease. Every note has been sampled with its original Analog Tube Tremolo FX from the Amp!

Bryce’s dedication to film music led to the development of a guitar of his own design – a guitar that was based on the range and capabilities of a piano. Through the facilitation of transcribing existing piano music faithfully onto this guitar, the instrument became a new and exciting platform to write and perform any style of music, which encouraged more of the hybrid-orientated music. With his move to L.A., Bryce quickly attained a position at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions where he was part of the writing and production of many hit films, video games and television shows. Through this time, he worked very closely with Grammy Nominated and Emmy Winning composer of “Game of Thrones” fame, Ramin Djawadi. This relationship led to working on projects such as Warner Brothers’ “Clash of the Titans”, MGM/UA’s “Red Dawn”, EA’s “Medal of Honor” and “Need for Speed” and Activision’s “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” among many others. In addition to this, Bryce has also performed on the scores for “Rango”, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”, “Puss in Boots”, “Savages” and “Rush”, which features the 7 Octave Guitar.
