The choice of great artists around the world, brought to your fingertips through the power of the Ivory II engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn the rarified world of great concert artists, there are precious few instruments that leave a lasting impression upon the masters who played them. Ivory II American Concert D is one of those instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage 1951 New York Steinway D (CD 121) was chosen by the Steinway \u0026amp; Sons concert department for Steinway artist promotion. Throughout the years, the instrument has been lauded by some of the world’s greatest concert artists. Indeed, the plate of the piano is signed by Glenn Gould, Rudolf Serkin, and many others, as a testament to high praise by the world’s great masters.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePut your hands on it, and it’s not hard to see why. The instrument has an exceptionally clear and transparent sound, yet with a singing tone and mature beauty and resonance that can only be found on a concert instrument in this class. The recording took place in the Françoys-Bernier Concert Hall at Le Domaine Forget in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, the same hall where Ivory's acclaimed German Steinway was recorded. Reunited were master concert technician Michel Pedneau, performer\/producer Joe Ierardi, and recording engineer, Mark Donahue of Soundmirror to capture every detail of this amazing instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 49GB library, Ivory II American Concert D is the largest single piano in the Ivory family. This American Steinway possesses a naturally long sustain, which is captured in its entirety to the final decay, some of the notes ringing longer than two minutes. Also included are up to 20 velocity levels, with more soft pedal samples, and more release samples to capture more detail than any Ivory instrument before.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIvory II American Concert D is powered by the award-winning Ivory II engine, and contains the full compliment of Ivory II’s features, foremost being the acclaimed Harmonic Resonance Modeling for the realization of true Sympathetic String Resonance. Custom designed by Synthogy DSP guru, George Taylor, this technology does not rely upon triggering additional samples or use ordinary sine waves. Rather, notes struck that are harmonically related excite the actual complex overtones of the notes that are being held, in the same manner that undamped strings resonate in a real acoustic piano. Together with the new American Concert D samples, the results are simply stunning, the culmination of Synthogy’s most powerful technology, with the most advanced sampling techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIvory II American Concert D is a free-standing virtual instrument. No previous version of Ivory is required. Of course existing Ivory II owners will find that it installs quite readily into their current library. But whether this is your first introduction to Ivory II, or you are a long time Ivory owner, Ivory II American Concert D is a remarkable, must-have, instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMinimum Hardware Requirements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1.8 GHz Intel Core Duo CPU\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 GB RAM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e49 GB (46 GiB) free hard drive space (Ivory II American Concert D)†\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHard drive speed of at least 7200 RPM or SSD, connected via 1394c, SATA, or faster\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDVD ROM drive for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Hardware Requirements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo CPU\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2 GB RAM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e49 GB free hard drive space\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHard drive speed of at least 7200 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDVD ROM drive for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eiLok key optional with Ivory 2.5\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMac Requirements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAny AU, AAX, or VST 2.4 plug-in host, or the included Ivory Standalone application\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or newer\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWindows Requirements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAny AAX, or VST 2.4 plug-in host, or the included Ivory Cantabile application\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWindows 7 with Service Pack 1 or newer\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Synthogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450283552871,"sku":"29232","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/synthogy-american-concert-d_29232_1.jpg?v=1787092448","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/synthogy-ivory-ii-american-concert-d","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
