RADICAL PIANO944
Introduction
Radical Piano is designed to be a straightforward, awesome sounding and very flexible piano. Radical Piano com-
bines sample playback technology with physical modeling to give you great sound quality and seamless dynamic re-
sponse as well as great freedom to tweak your sounds.
The combination of sample playback and physical modeling also makes it possible to keep each piano sound set
down to a minimum size. This allows for very quick loading times when you switch between instruments.
Radical Piano also features sympathetic resonance, which means that any undamped strings will ring along with the
played notes (strings), just like on acoustic pianos. This makes Radical Piano sound extremely realistic and alive.
There are also a number of other controls for further shaping the sound the way you want it.
As a bonus, we also included an audio input so you can route external audio and process it in Radical Piano!
