After working with renowned jazz pianist and composer Bob Ravenscroft on a custom performance piano built to satisfy Bob's highest demands and expressiveness, Mr. Ravenscroft Pianos are designed and built by Michael Spreeman at his company in Scottsdale, Arizona. This is truly a pianist's virtual piano.Ī great virtual piano starts only with the best acoustic piano If the usual piano tones have worn out their welcome and it's time for something fresh, the Ravenscroft 275 is here. Rich clear hammer attacks, unique Muted Strikes, staccato Release Trails, real sampled Una Corda pedal, and sampled Resonance all lead to a level of realism previously unobtainable in a virtual piano. It's one piano that works for all styles. All while keeping your resource usage minimal and offering fast load times. Touch response is consistent no matter the controller used. Control is similar to a modeled virtual piano but entirely sample-based. Precise playing velocities plus complex harmonic interactions and details are carefully sampled and then controlled by a powerful script and engine. Reproducing the tone and playability of a concert grand like the 275 Titanium is no easy task. The result: a virtual piano like no other.


Our goal was to emulate all aspects of the 275's detailed voice using the latest sampling technology and let this amazing piano speak with clarity. This one-of-a-kind concert grand has been recreated using nearly 17,000 samples and 4 discrete microphones, controlled from an easy to use interface. Ravenscroft 275 is one of these rare instruments. At VI Labs we believe that some instruments truly can inspire and take your creativity to new levels.
