Acoustica has released Pianissimo, a Virtual Grand Piano, which they say delivers the sound and expressivenes of a classic grand piano in an affordable software package.
It operates as a VSTi plug-in, or runs as a stand-alone application, for Windows PCs.
The VSTi will operate in any DAW with support for virtual instruments in the VSTi format, including Mixcraft. The Stand-Alone version supports any MIDI device, and any Wave, ASIO, or WaveRT device. It allows for two track recording, loading and saving of standard MIDI Type 1 files, and supports mixing down to WAV, MP3, WMA, and OGG Vorbis files.
Product Features

- sample programming creates a fluid, dynamic, expressive tone without identifiable velocity switching or other digital artifacts.
