The Grandeur - Native Instruments | Exploring The Power and The Beauty | Virtual Piano Library

#nativeinstruments #galaxyinstruments #searchingfortheperfectpiano
I continue to explore the world of piano libraries. Today I am excited to feature look "The Grandeur", created in a partnership between Native Instruments and Galaxy Instruments. The Grandeur is a beautiful yet powerful Steinway Model D, recorded in a magnificent concert hall resulting in a truly impressive sound.

The Grandeur is available separately or as part of Native Instruments' Definitive Piano Collection which features two additional piano libraries. It can be used with the free Kontakt Player or the full version of Kontakt.

Of all the pianos, it is my favorite, mainly because of the dynamics it allows me to play. It is very expressive, unlike Noire, no matter how hard I play, there are no more layers.

What a gentleman you are and such an accomplished musician.
Such a delight to be with you on your demonstration of the Grandeur.
Another very happy subscriber to you from the UK.
Great wishes
Jon.

You're skills are a joy to watch every time Simeon, thank you.

Wow, hey Native Instruments, take my money please. This gets me the new age sound I always wanted.

Grandeur was one of my first piano libs. I bought it from NI several years ago and it is still my favorite. It is the best reproduction of a Steinway I know about. I bought it together with NI Maverick and Gentlemen. But I play the Grandeur 5 times more often then the others. Not even the Noir does really outperform that one.

[truesearch]

lovely.. lovely... skills.. I love hear you hands in grandeur, give me some tricks!!

[shan]

Loved the way you played The Grandeur.

What a brilliant demonstration of The Grandeur! I keep coming back to it although I have an abundance of virtual pianos. Just recently used it for "My Fondest Memory" on my channel. Its genuine beauty is unparalleled. Well done, Simeon! Your improvisation skills are admirable.

Considering my journey on Grandeur, Noire, or Spotlight Piano, and now I think I have the answer. 😊 Thank you, gentle mister, approval from China.

I got this a few years ago as part of Komplete Standard Bundle. it is easily in my top 5 VSTs that I use and I've accumulated many over the years. It makes you want to play for hours.

[garaiss]

Great playing! Please could you suggestt your top5 vst pianos and explain difference between them

[michelleparsons]

And the CMI FAIRLIGHT started it all, I love it ❤😂

[linotavares]

Congratulations from Brazil, great job!

What makes The Grandeur so likeable is that it's very playable and it doesn't take up much space on your HDD/SSD, it is not the most detailed sounding library but for the size it's impressive. It is very dynamic so very suitable for pop, rock, jazz music etc however for classical i do enjoy the Garritan CFX a bit more but can't really do that comparison because the Garritan CFX library is huge

[ispianist]

I own this vst. It does have a beautiful tone and also the dynamics are unmatchable. I have many vst. I dare to say that this is better than keyscape and ivory american concert D. This vst has the best velocity touch that I have ever tried on a vst. Also for the price is not a brainer.

[rjthewise]

Great video. Which has better sound quality keyscape or THE GRANDEUR

[winterheat]

I have come to the conclusion you can give Simeon some glasses with water in it and a spoon and he can make some beautiful music

[DragonTHEwayITis]

Hey there Simeon! I just wanna say first, you are one of my reasons for having "The Grandeur" in this moment in my computer to enjoy its sound!

But my only issue is that for some reason, i got real, that the sound of the piano, out of the box, has shown in the beginning of this video, its not matching to my one... Your one sounds more rich and detailed and my one more "buffed" less detailed.

Do you have any special setting for the audio? Anything related to ASIO4ALL? I say this because i even tried to play the same as you in one part, listen to yours again, and it just sounds different, even when i higher my volume.

Thanks in advance! :)

Beautiful piano. Are you using sustain pedal or without sir?
