Motus does not really have an equivalent on the market in terms of acoustic realism and variety of pianos and harpsichord available, it is obviously on these two instruments that we put all our energy to give the illusion almost total to play in acoustic mode!

 

The first two pianos are modern Steinway D sampled with the utmost care. One is clearer, the other is rounder ...

 

Remarkable sampling by an American Steinway piano studio by Glenn Gould currently at the National Arts Center in Ottawa. We will recognize the exceptional clarity typical of the American Steinway's timbre of this period, as well as the typical and very brilliant harmonization demanded by the legendary pianist ...

 

 

For lovers of historical sounds, we sampled a concert Pleyel from the time of Chopin! There is of course a world between it and the beautiful bank Steinway, but the experiment will take you back in time hearing a sound of time ...

The "touch" of your piano is perfectly preserved

To make your piano quiet, it is necessary to stop the hammer 4 mm before it strikes the rope, this is achieved thanks to a perfectly rigid blocker operated by the central pedal, as you can see in the picture below. against. The "touch" of the piano is much better in this case than when using a conventional mute, as the blocker returns the hammer with the same elasticity as a string, the great defect of an ordinary mute is in shock effect, this feeling is very unpleasant for the pianist. Our 100% optical sensors without lever or spring have no impact on the touch of your piano.
