VI Labs Modern U

[Larry Shelby]

Our new library has been available on our website for a few days already, but we were waiting to put the final touches on the website and videos to officially introduce it to the world, so here it is.
 

THE MODERN U

Modern times call for a modern virtual piano: Highly detailed and intimate, clean and crisp, a new piano sampled with the finest gear in a modern space, able to shine or blend in as desired. Precision response using any controller, plus sophisticated controls and presets with tweakability rarely seen in a virtual piano. High res graphics, deep sampling and scripting but easy on the system. We're happy to introduce the Modern U, sampled from a brand new popular studio upright piano with a modern approach. 6 mics, real resonances, Sordino pedal, many presets included, and many more features make for the ultimate studio upright library.

COMPLETE VIRTUAL PIANO STUDIO
 

Six discrete phase-aligned fully mixable microphones with interactive mic display. Modern mics and gear with diverse perspectives cover every way of recording an upright front and back, close and far.

REAL SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE
 

Real deeply sampled resonance for both pedal down and sympathetic resonance types. Powerful scripting recreates real pedal resonance behavior adding complex depth and sustain to the tone, all fully adustable.

HIGHLY DETAILED INSTRUMENT

Over 23,000 samples composing 55GB of wave data in a small 6GB file. Huge library, small footprint thanks to lossless compression and complex scripting. This also means fast loading and efficient CPU usage.

COMPLETE PEDAL CONTROL
 

Complete control of up to 5 pedals including our new Sordino pedal. Repedal and adjustable Half pedal features included. Sostenuto, Soft pedal, plus Muted Strikes and Sordino all make for a highly expressive piano.

ADVANCED MIDI RESPONSE TOOLS
 

New MIDI panel with unique split controls for both timbre and volume. High resolution discrete tables and controls allow custom curves for any response imaginable. Many presets included, or create your own.

DETAILED RELEASE TRAILS

1,400 release samples per mic including staccato releases that respond to the quickest playing, no articulations needed. Release samples capture the resonant ring of the upright piano and are crucial for realism.


There are more features that you can learn about on our website or in the detailed overview video below.

Woo hoo!

I asked them for an upright a couple of years ago. I got a reply telling me to hold my horses. Took them 2 more years, but this will be nice to add to the 4 VILabs grands I own (Ravenscroft, European, American and German).

Indeed!
