Black and Whites

Professional Acoustic and Electric Pianos

Almost everyone would like to have a piano that is as easy to carry around as a guitar. But until now, you had to settle with cheesy imitation piano module sounds. Not anymore. When we say piano, we mean piano.

Black & Whites contains huge digital stereo multi-samples of real Steinway™ pianos, and breakthrough technology that allows you to use either your desktop or portable Pentium or PowerMac computer.

Attach any MIDI keyboard, and you can have the same expressive, musical control over each note as you would with a real piano! Choose one of the preset grand pianos with the built in hall reverb, and you can be playing in your very own private concert hall tonight!

Based on technology developed for the award winning Unity DS-1 Sampler, Black & Whites uses the same playback engine to reproduce the professional quality sound found in Unity DS-1.

Over 330 megabytes of samples are included, with instrument sizes ranging from 3 MB to 44 MB in size. Over 1400 individual programs cover everything from sonic purity to pure insanity.

Black & Whites was sampled in stereo and many of the models utilize 4 velocity layers. There are also Rhodes™ Electric Piano samples with many variations. So if you've been waiting for sampled pianos that can stand on their own three legs, listen to Black & Whites. You'll hear the difference is, well, black and white.

"It's a lot of fun to see the look of shock & surprise on the faces of people who can't believe these terrific musical instruments are coming from software in my PowerBook. My PowerBook sounds almost as good as my Steinway™ now!"
- Herbie Hancock
