The Grand Piano

Grand Y captures the clear, transparent, and dynamic sound of a Yamaha CFIIIS Concert Grand Piano. Rich overtones, a sparkling high end, and a powerful bass define the tonal fingerprints of this exceptional Kontakt instrument.

Two Characteristics

The Grand Y piano was recorded with meticulous attention to detail, including two distinct sample sets:

“Concert” Mode: Features the piano with an open lid, ideal for classical recordings.

“Studio” Mode: Features the piano with the lid removed, perfect for popular music applications.

Switch between the two as your creativity requires.

Pentamorph

The Pentamorph controller makes Session Keys Grand Y more than just a piano. This innovative tool allows you to transform the sound from a traditional piano to eerie atmospheres, mechanical sounds, and more—all with a single knob. It’s beautifully designed and incredibly powerful.

Animator

The Animator brings ideas to life with more than 400 flexible piano phrases that follow your harmonies. Adjust complexity and dynamics using the pitch bend and modulation wheels for a truly interactive session partner.

Smart Chord

Need help crafting harmonies? Smart Chord mode creates instant piano chords or riffs from single keys or pads. Just set the key of your song, and Smart Chord does the rest.

Design

The Session Keys Grand Y features a pure, minimalistic, and clean design, ensuring ease of use during intense music production sessions. Its interface helps you stay focused and inspired.

Indie piano, for lack of a better word. Quiet, relaxed. Fairly young artists. Little to no singing. Perfect sounds to wake up to or watch a sunrise with, before everything is fully awake. If you have suggestions for this playlist- please send them to me! I’m desperate for more of this loveliness.

What can I say more? This is the reason why I do what I do, why I compose and produce Modern Meditative Classical Music. ‘There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the common denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul.’ At the same time, I feel it takes dedication, practice and passionate work, as a musician, to pull this off. . . . . . . . #willienelson peacefulpiano #classicalcrossover #relaxingpiano #solopiano #neoclassicalmusic #pianosolo #piano #ligconcert #minimalpiano #peacefulmusic #relaxingmusic #modernclassical #modernpiano https://www.instagram.com/p/B1UB6_EIkSo/?igshid=12tn8zvwus4pm
