Golden Age Grand: A Virtual Piano Plugin for the Modern Musician

Relive the warm, rich sounds of the 1950s and 60s solo piano renaissance with Golden Age Grand. This meticulously crafted virtual instrument captures the essence of a beautifully aged Yamaha grand piano, recorded using vintage microphones, preamps, and a custom console. The result is a uniquely distinctive sound perfect for contemporary and classical settings alike.

Unique Features and Sounds

Golden Age Grand offers three distinct microphone positions—close (Neumann U67), ribbon (AEA R88), and room (Neumann KM86)—allowing you to tailor the sound to your exact needs. Unique features include a “Tape” mode, which loads samples recorded on 2″ analog tape and slows playback to 27 frames per second for an organic, slow-motion effect, and a “Digital” mode, which time-stretches and subtly down-tunes the samples for a distinctive “postcard” piano tone.

Presets for Every Style

Beyond the standard sound, Golden Age Grand provides four preset categories:

• Headphones: Optimized for lofi hip-hop, soul, and R&B.
• Performances: Authentic recreations of classical piano performances from the 60s and 70s.
• Recording: Inspired by pop recordings spanning from the 70s to today’s Top 40 hits.
• Scores: Tastefully crafted patches ideal for both classic and contemporary film scores.

Finally, a Nostalgia button adds an extra layer of warmth and character to the sound.
