![]() This is a very advanced 'player piano', and is capable of replaying pieces from MIDI. What's CEUS?įundamental to the success of Vienna Imperial is Bösendorfer's CEUS system, as featured on its computer-controlled grand pianos. ![]() The Bösendorfer itself has quite a rounded mid-range, and although you can tweak this with the onboard EQ, its sound may not appeal to those seeking the crisper tones of a Yamaha or the power of a Steinway - you'd best compare audio demos from different products to be sure. However, such subtleties can easily reveal the limitations of your controller keyboard, and we found VI's MIDI velocity offset very useful in achieving the desired response. This makes playing pianissimo as seductive as full-on, pedal-down forte. Sonically, Imperial is very impressive, exhibiting amazing consistency both from note to note and in terms of velocity. You can also reduce the sizeable CPU hit by lowering the Polyphony setting, and there's a handy Optimize feature that tags notes that you're using in your piece and unloads the ones you're not. Vienna Imperial needs at least 1.5GB of free RAM, but you can save on memory by omitting the soft pedal and/or release stages.
