Experience a breathtaking emulation of a Steinway Model B grand piano with **Ravel**. Building upon Universal Audio's industry-leading physical modeling techniques, Ravel goes far beyond other piano plug-ins and sample libraries, delivering unprecedented realism, album-ready sonics, and inspiring playability. It's perfectly suited for modern music productions across all genres, from pop and rock to R&B and hip-hop, providing the ultimate piano sound for your tracks.

• The Ultimate Model of a Model B: The 6' 11" Steinway Model B is renowned as the most recorded studio piano for a reason. It delivers the ideal, easily mixable studio grand sound heard on countless modern hits across every genre. Its rich tones blend perfectly with drums, bass, electric guitar, and other instruments, ensuring your mixes remain clear and balanced, consistently providing a mix-ready piano track.
• Introducing UltraResonance Technology: Sympathetic string resonance—the phenomenon of undamped strings and the soundboard vibrating in response to other strings being played—is often the Achilles’ heel of virtual pianos. Ravel overcomes this with Universal Audio's exclusive **UltraResonance technology**. Using proprietary modeling and sampling techniques, it exactingly recreates these complex interactions, giving you an airy, evolving palette of harmonics that allows notes to melt seamlessly into each other. From soft muted notes to languid, pillowy nuances, UltraResonance sets a new benchmark in realism and resonance for virtual instruments.
• Simple Control of Perfectly Placed Mics: Designed to provide a professional, record-ready sound right out of the gate, Ravel's easy-to-use interface lets you sculpt your piano sounds with three pairs of hand-chosen vintage microphones from famed engineer Allen Sides' legendary mic locker. Featuring only the essential controls, Ravel ensures you'll never get lost in confusing menus. Easily tweak Ravel's Volume and Tone, and utilize a convenient microphone Close/Room slider, allowing you to transition effortlessly from intimate tones to a lush room sound, and everywhere in between.
• More Modern Textures: Looking to add drama, suspense, or other unique timbres to your piano tracks? Ravel's innovative Reverse feature lets you easily incorporate distinctive atmospheric piano sounds. Use the Mix control to blend subtle reverse textures into your normal piano playing, or go completely "backwards" for all kinds of creative effects. You can even "play the control" for surprising real-time performance changes, adding an exciting, dynamic element to your music.
