Piano Sounds and Resonance Behavior

Mini Grand includes seven selectable piano models, giving you a range of acoustic tones within one instrument. The developer highlights its re-pedaling technology, which is designed to recreate string resonance behavior when the sustain pedal is used.

Because the sounds are built from premium quality samples, the instrument is aimed at producers who want a realistic acoustic piano sound rather than a synthesized one. Choosing between the seven models lets you move from a bright, cutting tone to a warmer, more rounded one within the same plugin.

Room Simulation and Tuning Options

The built-in room simulation adds a sense of space to the piano sound directly inside the plugin. This can help a piano sit in a mix without needing a separate reverb on the channel.

Mini Grand also lets you switch between equal and stretched tuning. Stretched tuning is commonly used to match how acoustic pianos are often tuned in practice, so this option gives you control over the tuning character of the part.
