Art Vista™ introduces MALMSJÖ GVI - enhanced Malmsjö grand in GVI stand-alone player.
New technology and revision of the original recordings in new offering of the popular piano software.
January 17,
2008 -- NAMM, Anaheim, California -- Art Vista Productions,
today announced MALMSJÖ GVI - a new
enhanced version of its sampled Malmsjö Grand Piano,
heard on numerous film scores and television productions around the
world. The new MALMSJÖ GVI has
been given a substantial face-lift, and an increase in dynamic range, by
the use of the new DEF technology offered by Tascam
in its Giga software.
"The result of this combination of modeling and sampling is quite stunning" said Jim Van Buskirk, Giga technology innovator. "This piano, via DEF, breaks the 'stair-step dynamics' paradigm that has plagued all sampled instruments before it. Just like the acoustic instrument, MALMSJÖ GVI has continuous dynamics and ever changing spectral depth."
To prepare the Malmsjö samples for this new technology, Art Vista optimized the recorded samples from the lowest level. The result is an instrument with pristine audio representation from the very intimate, to "larger-than-life" presentations.
MALMSJÖ GVI has also been enhanced with eight-level release sample ambience from a medium size hall with wood floors, and custom impulse responses by Larry Seyer, the multiple Grammy Award-winning recording engineer. The new MALMSJÖ GVI is backwards compatible with the old sample library Malmsjö Acoustic Grand, and includes the presets from the previous offering.
The new GVI format offers increased versatility, as it can be used either as a stand-alone application, or as a VSTi plug-in. It can also be loaded as a sample library into the GigaStudio software.
"The MALMSJÖ GVI finally brings me back to the real Malmsjö Grand, and all emotions connected with playing it," says Hans Adamson, the artist behind the Malmsjö sample. "There is no other piano with the same lyrical qualities and intimacy as the Malmsjö. It is the ultimate composer's piano."
MALMSJÖ GVI from Art Vista is shipping in January and has an MSRP of $199.00.
Art Vista is showcasing MALMSJÖ GVI in booth 6427 during NAMM.
