Welcome

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing The Grand 3 by Steinberg.

With the purchase of The Grand 3 you have chosen a premium virtual piano suite which comes with five virtual pianos perfectly recorded to meet your demands, providing stunning sound quality unrivaled by current standards. The Yamaha C7, Bösendorfer 290 Imperial, and Steinway D grand pianos plus the classic Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand, as well as the charismatic upright piano by Nordiska Pianofabriken have been recorded to offer you an entire palette of virtual piano greatness.

Thanks to the incorporated intelligent sample architecture and latest recording technology, The Grand 3 does not simply play back samples, but responds to your individual playing behavior as well as adding natural full-length sustain and decay, distinctive pedal and hammer noises, and key thumps in order to recreate the sound of acoustic pianos so perfectly. And it doesn’t stop here. To further enhance the effectiveness of your system, both ECO Mode and RAM Save technology featured in The Grand 3 help you to reduce the RAM consumption and improve CPU performance.

Whether you are a musician, arranger or composer, The Grand 3 is certainly your first choice when it comes to breathtaking authenticity, extraordinary dynamic response and the breadth and depth of tones only made available in this virtual piano software conceived and designed by Steinberg.

The standalone version allows you to use The Grand 3 without a host application – a great choice for performing live. It has two additional features: the quick-idea scratch pad, which lets you instantly store spontaneous ideas, and the metronome.

We wish you a lot of musical inspiration!

Your Steinberg The Grand Team
