Toontrack EZKeys Cinematic Grand is a virtual instrument plug-in with a library that consists of a prepared classic B??sendorfer 1891 grand piano recorded in four octaves and with different objects placed on or between the strings. It offers four individual sound configurations including: Bowed, which uses horsehair to bow each string; Plucked, each string struck by hand; Damped, for muffled string sounds; and Harmonic, for exaggerated string overtones. Musicians and producers can use the configurations in their raw state or combined, mixed, and processed in 40 mix-ready presets, ideal for ambient soundscapes, soundtracks, and creative sound design.

Cinematic Grand comes with the EZkeys software and a selection of MIDI files to help you compose and arrange your music directly inside the software, with or without a physical keyboard controller.
