Roland announced the V-Piano Evolution System Program Update, which adds two new Vintage and Vanguard piano models to enhance the sonic possibilities for the V-Piano.
The V-Piano offers two distinct types of piano modeling: Vintage and Vanguard. Vintage is designed to replicate the sound of the world’s “finest acoustic pianos”, while Vanguard is designed to allow the pianist to create new and innovative instruments beyond the limitations of the traditional acoustic piano.
The V-Piano Evolution adds two new instruments to each piano category. In the Vintage category, Vertical reproduces the sound of an upright piano, and V1 Impactance features a Vintage 1 piano equipped with heavier hammers for more power and energy, the company says.
In the Vanguard category, Triple Large features an extended piano body and tripled copper wrapped strings on each key, while Metallic SB is based on the previous All Silver model. With a new virtual soundboard made of thin metal boards sandwiched between thin wooden boards, the Metallic SB piano sound creates “a unique metallic tonal character, ” according to Roland.
The V-Piano Evolution is now available as a downloadable upgrade for all V-Piano owners. For more information on the V-Piano, visit: Roland V-Piano.
