![]() ![]() Piano V is classy, and offers a lot of controls for having your own piano tone and adding “realism” to it, then offers a comprehensive “Mix” panel to sit the sound in the mix. Piano V from Arturia is a fantastic addition in the already legendary V Collection, it is just what we need after all the (amazing) synthesizer recreations. There are 38 presets now, I am sure more will come with next updates, but for the moment it feels like is enough, we’re talking about a piano, not a workstation. ARTURIA PIANO V UPRIGHT HOW TOUntil you learn how to tweak its controls, Piano V comes with a cool preset browser, where you can select sounds by types, banks and characteristics. The equalizer have both interactive display and knobs – it is a pleasure to work with. ARTURIA PIANO V UPRIGHT PLUSThese two (“Mic Setup” & “Room Setup”) plus the equalizer controls found in Master module help you sit the piano in the mix, and they do it very well. Next you can switch between different room setups, from concert halls to small studio rooms (you can also tweak your own reverb). Moving on to the “Mix” controls, here we can take care of “Mic Setup”, where of course, as the name implies, we can change between different microphone setups the graphics is more than suggestive. The “Action” field can be expanded, and we are revealed controls for strings, unison detune, dynamics of hammers, pedal and hammer noise, etc plus some other mechanics and features that those looking for more realism will appreciate. ![]() Next in the “Action” zone, we find “Piano Settings” with easy access to velocity curve, which is essential for those with MIDI keyboards. ![]() Once selected, each piano can be viewed in all its splendor in the upper main part of the plugin. These nine pianos can be selected in the “Action” field, under “Piano Tuning” slider. ARTURIA PIANO V UPRIGHT SERIESIt is obvious that each of them offers a different experience, if you want to have the classic & intimate feeling you will choose the classic tone of Concert Grand, but if you need a piano to sound more modern to electric, you have at your fingertips a series of pianos with a sound adapted to current pop songs, e.g Pop Upright, Glass Grand or the superb Pop Grand. Piano V consists of nine different pianos crafted using Arturia’s modeling technology: Classical Upright, Jazz Upright, Piano-Bar Upright, Pop Upright, Concert Grand, Glass Grand, Intimate Grand, Metal Grand, and Pop Grand. Let me say that Arturia is finally up to date. I can only admire the modern style, with big and clear fonts, a neutral color scheme, and intuitive controls and modules. This flexibility comes from its architecture, and the interface just conveys a feeling of familiarity and ease of working. So Piano V is a synthesizer, and comes with all the advantages of this type of instrument, for example when it comes to creating a more personal sound to define you as an artist. Just like the other Arturia plugins, it doesn’t rely on samples, it generates all sounds by entirely simulating the physics of a piano. In this review, I will take a closer look at Piano V, an original approach with a wide range of real sounding pianos, but also having controls over different components and characteristics, leading to results never seen before. The V Collection 5 puts on the table the Synclavier V, the B-3 V, the Stage-73 V, the Farfisa V, and Piano V, a complete suite of acoustic pianos. ![]()
