PRESS RELEASE

Art Vista™ Releases Virtual Grand Piano Version 2.0

January 21, 2008

Art Vista Productions, today announced Virtual Grand Piano Version 2.0. Version 2.0 brings Mac-Intel compatibility as well as new features, and a new interface to the piano software. Even the sample pool has been re-edited for this offering.

Virtual Grand Piano Version 2.0 now includes a large number of calibrated keyboard-specific presets, and allows you to choose your controller keyboard from a list. This ensures a 100 percent accurate keyboard touch and playback response, no matter which keyboard controller is used to play the software. Other new features are: numerous recording/playing styles presets available directly from the main interface, release samples on/off controllable from interface, three-band parametric EQ, exciter, surround sound panning, "musical" sustain pedal noises that interprets and adjusts to playing style, compression in three levels as well as tape saturation, reverb on/off with control of parameters from interface, accurate authentic handling of release sample playback when triggered by sustain pedal release, and programmable user presets.

Virtual Grand Piano Version 2.0 also has improved unisons and minor tuning corrections. Virtual Grand Piano 2.0 offers full backwards compatibility with version 1.0, and all presets from the previous version are available in version 2.0, including a large number of "Recording Styles" presets emulating piano sounds from famous piano recordings of all genres from 1950 until today.

Virtual Grand Piano 2.0 is based on Native Instruments' Kontakt 2 Player engine, and it is now compatible also with Mac-Intel (UB) computers. All major plug-in formats are supported, and the software can also be used as a stand-alone application.

Virtual Grand Piano 2.0 from Art Vista is shipping now and has an MSRP of $199.00.

Art Vista is showcasing Virtual Grand Piano 2.0 at NAMM in booth 6427.
