THE WORLD’S FINEST PIANOS IN ONE INSTRUMENT

Pianoverse offers the perfect piano sound for any genre, with superior results in every situation. IK’s team spent months sourcing treasured piano instruments from the most prestigious manufacturers including Yamaha, Steinway, Bösendorfer, Fazioli and more. Each instrument was brought to one of Italy’s finest studios, hand-tuned and prepared, then sampled using multiple microphone setups and IK’s unique custom-built robotic system that allowed a degree of velocity measurement, sampling precision and repeatability that simply cannot be matched with traditional sampling workflows.

ROBOT-ASSISTED SAMPLING FOR UNMATCHED ACCURACY

Realism is one of the most important things IK wanted to translate into the pianos of Pianoverse. Each piano has its own personality, in that it behaves in its own way, and this is particularly true for the dynamic response of the instrument. A key has its own dynamic curve - the way it responds to varying velocity - and this curve is different for each key. Only with a high-resolution, high-consistency sampling robot was it possible to capture a detailed representation of the entire dynamics of the piano without flattening it or simplifying it too much, which is what necessarily happens with traditional sampling. Using a mix of hardware technology, proprietary software, and the right dose of craftsmanship in-between, IK designed a sampling robot comprised of an extremely precise and silent linear motor with an elastic actuator on top, made with a combination of rubber and 3D printed material, which had to sound like a human finger. The actuator is decoupled from the motor to prevent any shock from spreading to the robot structure and to simulate the aftertouch of a real finger.
