While I usually rely on musicians to provide their own sound sources, I feel that having the ability to provide a great piano sound is part of being a well-equipped studio. The new Garritan/Abbey Road CFX Concert Grand Virtual Piano ($249) has redefined the standard as to what that entails.

A fine acoustic piano. How an instrument feels and responds to the player in performance is just as important as how it sounds. Latency—or the delay between when a key is pressed and when the note sounds—is often a problem with soft-synths, but the Garritan Abbey Road Studios CFX Concert Grand is surprisingly responsive.

The magnificent Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano was placed in Abbey Road Studios' legendary Studio One, where award-winning engineers used the world's greatest microphones and equipment to create a truly stunning virtual instrument.

In 1991, Yamaha began developing the CFX Concert Grand, a nearly two-decade project. It formed a 40-member team of top piano designers, technicians, craftsmen and players who proceeded to deconstruct and then rebuild the concert grand piano. Aspects of traditional piano design were evaluated, improved and tested. In the final stages of the design, numerous prototypes underwent thousands of hours of testing in concert halls around the globe. The result was the $180,000 CFX Concert Grand Piano, a spectacular instrument that surfaced to worldwide acclaim in 2010.

A couple years later, Abbey Road’s Mirek Stiles teamed up with Garritan, one of the world’s leading providers of virtual software instruments, to sample the CFX Concert Grand in Abbey Road’s acclaimed Studio One. The result is the Garritan/Abbey Road CFX Concert Grand, and it’s quite amazing.

Seamless velocity layer integration and super wide dynamic range. Fully installed it is a massive 122 GBs of samples! Few rooms in the world compare to Studio One at Abbey Road Studios, which is why Garritan chose it as the recording space for their CFX Concert Grand virtual instrument's samples. Over its 80+ years of service, Abbey Road Studios have played host such artists as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Elton John, and a great many others. The result is the Garritan/Abbey Road CFX Concert Grand, and it’s quite amazing. The CFX Concert Grand sound library is AAX, RTAS, VST, and AU-compatible and powered by the ARIA Player. Due to its large size, Garritan doesn’t offer a download option, but the virtual instrument is delivered on a USB flash drive that includes both 32- and 64.

The CFX Concert Grand sound library is AAX, RTAS, VST, and AU-compatible and powered by the ARIA Player. Due to its large size, Garritan doesn’t offer a download option, but the virtual instrument is delivered on a USB flash drive that includes both 32- and 64-bit versions both as a plug-in and a standalone player. While the full version requires 122 GB of free hard disk space, the compact version will fit into 24.5 GB of space. The plug-in version works best for my applications; I’m always using it within Pro Tools for either recording piano or replacing a piano that has already been played. Musicians who aren’t interested in recording but simply want to play will have better results using the standalone instrument; it doesn’t require utilizing the instrument in conjunction with a DAW.

Under the direction of Abbey Road’s staff, the CFX was recorded with multiple microphone setups for specific music styles. The three setups include: classic (natural tone), contemporary (bright) and player (piano seat experience). Each setup includes a group of editable presets that include starting points for mic, EQ and ambience settings. Editing is provided in four different page views: Main, Piano, Studio and Advanced. A basic mixer with close and ambient microphone channels, each with a stereo width control alongside a master control, is always displayed. The master control includes a switchable limiter that prevents output clipping. The Piano view provides specific piano controls including sympathetic resonance, sustain resonance, release volume, release crossfade, release decay and pedal noise. The Studio view provides a three-band EQ (hi, sweepable mid, low) provides independent equalization for the close and ambient mics. Additional warmth can be attained via the variable saturation control. The Advanced view allows the fine-tuning of velocity curves, dynamic range, system RAM, etcetera.

Abbey Road’s engineers have done an exceptional job capturing what is arguably the finest piano in production today while Garritan has provided outstanding control of the sampled instrument via an intuitive GUI. Selecting the desired variation of the instrument is quick and easy, and once the proper instrument has been selected, it can be finessed into the perfect sound via the instrument’s advanced settings.

The Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano
The CFX piano marks a significant milestone in Yamaha’s celebrated 108-year history as an acclaimed world-class piano maker. In 1991, Yamaha began its most ambitious piano project ever: to create a new generation of grand piano for concert, conservatoire and studio performance.

The result was the CFX Concert Grand Piano, a revolutionary new instrument that embodies the concept of beauty and power. The rich palette of tonal colors and musical voices the piano can produce characterizes its beauty. The power comes from the CFX’s unprecedented tonal projection. The development and evaluation phase of this remarkable instrument took almost 20 years. During this time, a 40-strong team of the world’s most talented piano designers, technicians, craftsmen and, of course, pianists deconstructed the concert grand and began rebuilding it from the ground up. Every aspect of traditional piano design was questioned, evaluated, improved and relentlessly tested. Once the design was nearing completion, multiple prototypes endured thousands of hours of secret testing at concert halls across the globe.

Each CFX is entirely hand-built by a small team comprising some of the world’s most experienced and skilled craftsmen. All materials are meticulously selected and refined to ensure unprecedented music performance in the most demanding of situations. It offers outstanding expressiveness for a truly musical performance. With enough tonal presence to be heard over the sound of a full symphony orchestra in the largest of concert halls, the CFX is truly one of the greatest pianos ever created.
