Arturia Piano V3

Universal piano expression
Discover the finest array of production-worthy pianos, from luxurious German concert grands to contemporary metal and glass-framed designs, brought to life with dynamic physical modeling and infused with unprecedented tonal control – all in a single instrument.

The perfect production piano
The piano is the most played, recorded, and emulated instrument in the world, and finding the right one can be a challenge. Piano V aims to change that.
Distilling the most essential, experimental, and inspiring piano models into a single instrument, Piano V uses advanced physical modeling to recreate not just the perfect piano sound, but authentic mechanical and sonic behavior. Enjoy a full customizable piano studio right in your DAW.

Any type of piano
Warm classical, punchy hip hop, platinum pop, shimmering cinematic; from the timeless to the most outside-the-box piano concepts, Piano V’s 12 models cover an entire spectrum of ebony & ivory sound to breathe new life into your production, performance, and composition.

Ultra-real, no samples needed
Say no to heavy sample libraries and inconsistent sonic response – Piano V’s engine represents a real-time simulation of the physics and acoustics of a piano, guaranteeing consistency, authenticity, and flexibility that transcends the real thing.

Phi:
Physical modeling
Our engineers recreate every aspect of the original instruments, down to the finest vibrations for a response that sounds and feels as tangible as the real thing.
Physical modeling uses mathematical models and algorithms to recreate the material reactions and unique interplay of both physical and electronic components. Its development has been pioneered since the ‘70s, with major breakthroughs from Stanford University in the USA and IRCAM in France opening the doors to exciting new methods and concepts.
It’s these breakthroughs that form the basis of Phi®, our exclusive physical modeling technology that allows us to perfectly mimic the resonant and mechanical behavior of an instrument. No details are left out of the equation, from the transient detail of the attack to the harmonic structure as the note releases; from the type of material the instrument is made of to the size and tonal properties of the room it was played in.
This provides a huge level of expression and finesse to musicians and producers, far exceeding the possibilities of sampling, and even the original instruments themselves.
