What Ravel Grand Piano does
The instrument is built from a 6 ft 11 in Steinway Model B, a model the developer describes as among the most recorded in studios. Its UltraResonance technology reproduces sympathetic string resonance, the effect of undamped strings and the soundboard vibrating in response to played notes, using proprietary modeling and sampling techniques.
A Mix control adds reversed-piano sounds to normal playing, and the developer also lists real-time performance changes that respond to the play control. Ravel is offered as VST3, AU and AAX, and the crack, keygen and serial key strings most often typed alongside the name refer to the Windows and macOS releases; a working serial is the string most queries pair with it.
Key features
- Steinway Model B recording. The piano is based on a 6 ft 11 in Steinway Model B, described by the developer as the most recorded model in studios.
- Close and room microphone mix. Two microphone positions placed by Allen Sides can be blended with the Close/Room slider, from intimate to more open.
- Reversed piano textures. The Mix control adds reversed-piano sounds to normal playing, producing haunting or left-of-center timbres.
- Real-time play control. The play control changes the performance in real time, which the developer lists as a source of surprising variations.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Keygen, serial key and activation key queries are attached to the Windows and macOS builds, with iLok emulator and bypass searches also common.
Compatibility
Ravel is available as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows 10 and macOS (64-bit), with native support for Apple Silicon processors listed. Searches for iLok bypass and challenge-response files appear alongside the name.
