Overview

An extremely expressive and realistic software piano.

Building upon UA's industry-leading physical modeling techniques, the Universal Audio Ravel grand piano instrument goes far beyond other piano plug-ins and sample libraries with its unprecedented realism, giving you album-ready sonics and inspiring playability—perfect for modern music productions from pop to rock, R&B to hip-hop. The 6'-11" Steinway Model B is the most recorded studio piano for a reason, delivering the ideal, mixable studio grand sound as heard on countless modern hits, across every genre. Its rich tones blend perfectly with drums, bass, electric guitar and other surrounding instruments—never muddying up mixes and instead giving you a balanced, mix-ready piano track every time. Sympathetic string resonance—or the phenomenon of undamped strings and the soundboard vibrating in response to other strings being played—is often the Achilles’ heel of virtual pianos. Using proprietary modeling and sampling techniques, UA's exclusive UltraResonance technology exactingly recreates these complex interactions, giving you the airy, evolving palette of harmonics that allows notes to melt into each other. From soft muted notes to languid, pillowy nuances, UltraResonance sets a new benchmark in resonance and realism.

Designed to give you 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 mics from famed engineer Allen Sides' mic locker. Featuring only the controls you need, Ravel ensures you'll never get lost in confusing menus. Easily tweak Ravel's Volume, Tone and a microphone Close/Room slider, letting you go from intimate tones to a lush room sound, and everywhere in between. Looking to add drama, suspense or other left-of-center timbres? Ravel's Reverse feature lets you easily add unique atmospheric piano sounds. Use the Mix control to add in subtle reverse textures to your normal piano playing, or go completely "backwards" for all kinds of fun. You can even “play the control” for surprising real-time performance changes.
