Summary

One caveat is that, although the instrument comes in standalone and plug-in format (VST/AU/RTAS), RTAS support is currently Mac-only. Finally, you can only utilise one mic position at once, unlike, say, Quantum Leap Pianos from East West where you can blend them. Grumbles aside, Vienna Imperial is one of the most consistent sampled pianos we've ever tried and will delight those who can afford it.

Listen to our Vienna Imperial audio demo and you'll hear:

1. The three recorded positions: close, player and distant.

2. Full scale up and down arpeggio at six different velocities using the 'player' sample set.

3. Close position with the three different reverbs: Grosser Saal, Mozart Saal and Neuer Saal.
