CHROMA - GRAND PIANO personifies the ageless beauty of the piano. Painstakingly recorded from a world class Yamaha C3, it fully captures the sonic exuberance of the ideal piano sound. It is not only the perfect recreation of the acoustic properties, but also a full exploration of the instrument. From the profundity of the single note, to mallets, pads, and e-bow, able to create rich and inspiring soundscapes – CHROMA - GRAND PIANO is more than a piano, it is the experience of the piano itself.

"Wow the sound of this piano is great but I think the biggest selling point for me is the flexibility. With this library I won’t need to worry so much about finding the right mood for my piano because they basically covered all grounds."

"CHROMA is a masterful endeavor to be sure. It has a combination of richness and body, along with that unmistakable Yamaha shine. The mic selections and process really make this one stand out."

"FINALLY a piano with added textures/layers that is clear and precise, and is NOT a felt piano like so many other companies produce….The standard piano sounds FABULOUS!"

"I have nearly every virtual piano on the market (VSL Imperial, Synchron, Ivory 3, VI Labs, etc) but yours provided a sense of realism like I felt I was in front of a real piano. I am in shock. Great work."

"The Presets are amazing... Timbre is so thunderous .... Sonuscore always know what they are doing."

"One of the very best pianos on the market. Very responsive!"
