IK Multimedia PIANOVERSE NY GRAND S274 | Flagship Concert-Hall Grand Piano Instrument Plugin
PIANOVERSE NY GRAND S274 is modeled on a 274 cm concert-hall grand piano, emphasizing realistic dynamics, natural resonance, and professional mixability. It is suitable for composing, scoring, solo recording, and live performance. Built-in multi-position tones and practical sound-shaping tools let you achieve finished sounds quickly, from classical to pop.
Key Product Features
- Based on an American-style 274 cm concert-hall grand piano as the sonic foundation, with rich lows and clear highs—ideal for solo performance and arranging.
- Multiple dynamic-layer sampling and release response delicately reproduce the expressive nuances of key attack and release.
- Simulates sympathetic string resonance, soundboard resonance, pedal and mechanical noises, with adjustable parameters for different scenarios.
- Supports half-pedaling, soft pedal, and sustain-pedal down behavior, corresponding to modern MIDI keyboard expressiveness.
- Selectable multi-microphone/multi-position tones covering close, stage, and hall spaces, with freely adjustable mix balances.
- Built-in EQ, compression, reverb, and noise control for quickly shaping wet/dry balance and tone.
- Provides stylized presets—Classical, Jazz, Pop, Film Score, Ambient Piano, etc.—ready to use out of the box.
- Disk streaming and adjustable buffer settings balance low-latency playing with stability for large projects.
- MIDI Learn and touch-curve adjustments make it easy to match different keyboards and playing styles.

Supported DAWs and Workflow Integration
Usable in mainstream DAWs that support AAX, AU, and VST3, such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, Reaper, and more. Supports MIDI velocity, pedals, and CC; automation can control microphone mixes, effects, and tone parameters. When collaborating with AI assistants or composition tools, you can first generate MIDI with chord progressions and arpeggiation techniques, import them and then adjust touch curves, pedal ranges, and resonance intensity, and finally integrate into the project by freezing or offline-exporting the tracks.
