New Garritan Abbey Road Studios CFX Lite Virtual Grand Piano Software - (Download/Activation Card)

Abbey Road Studios CFX Lite from GARRITAN is an ARIA-powered virtual instrument with a library that captures the wide palette of tonal colors and subtle, expressive nuances of a Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano. The instrument was recorded in Abbey Road Studios' Studio One using a collection of the finest microphones.

Studio and Piano

• Studio One's acoustics offer a warm and clear sound with a reverb time of 2.3 seconds, ideal for recording a piano
• Each CFX is entirely hand-built by a small team comprising some of the world's most experienced and skilled craftsment – the result of their work is a piano with such tonal presence that it can be heard over the sound of a full symphony orchestra in the largest of concert halls
