- Stop the cursor in your DAW and still see what notes were being played (note that most virtual keyboards will clear all notes when you press stop).
- 'Mute' or 'Solo' MIDI channels and display their notes in different colors. To mute a channel: 'Cmd'-click (Mac) or 'Ctrl-click' (Win) on the MIDI channel legend or click on the 'Mute' button. To solo it: Alt-click on the MIDI channel legend or click on the 'Solo button'.
- Make the notes fade away instead of ending abruptlyto help you visualize quick runs. Use the 'Fade' sliders to set their visual queue in milliseconds for each channel. Notes sustained with the sustain pedal can be set with a longer, independent fade out. Tip: set the sliders to the maximum for infinite fade outs.
- Visualize the Soft, Sostenuto and Sustain pedals and play them with your mouse (or hide them by dragging the top of the pedals to the bottom). You can also use the 'Shift' key to control the sustain pedal if you don't have a physical pedal. Please click inside the plugin if the keyboard focus is lost while switching between plugins.
- Display the Pitch and Mod Wheel changes or use them to send your own values. You can also hide them by dragging their right border to the left.
- Change the color of the highlighted notes that are on or sustained.
- Hold 'Alt' to drag the keyboard horizontally with your mouse.
- Hold 'Alt-Cmd' (Mac) or 'Alt-Ctrl' (Win) and drag the keyboard to stretch it (changing the key width).
- Resize it: drag the bottom-right corner of the keyboard to change its height and width, drag the pedal boundaries to change their dimensions and edit the key width in the menu.
- Label the keys with their note name, octave or MIDI number .
- Hide all settings to show only the keyboard by clicking anywhere on the keyboard while holding the 'Cmd' (Mac) or 'Ctrl' (windows) key.
- Use it to trigger notes with different velocities (clicking at a different height of each key if 'Velocity' is 0 or send constant velocities if 'Velocity' is greater than 0).
- Play, pause and resume MIDI files at different speeds. You will probably find the following keyboard shortcuts useful:
- 'spacebar': play / pause.
- 'left arrow': rewind 4 seconds.
- 'right arrow': fast forward 4 seconds.
- 'up arrow': increase the speed.
- 'down arrow': decrease the speed.
- Play notes too with your computer keyboard. Click on 'Settings' to configure your computer keyboard. The key mappings for a QWERTY keyboard are:
- '1 octave' mode:
- 'asdfghjkl' for notes CDEFGABCD.
- 'z': decrease octave.
- 'x': increase octave.
- 'c': decrease velocity.
- 'v': increase velocity.
- '2 octaves' mode:
- 'zxcvbnm' for notes CDEFGAB, 'qwertyuiop' for notes CDEFGABCDE (+1 oct).
- ', ': decrease octave.
- '.': increase octave.
- 'k': decrease velocity.
- 'l': increase velocity.
- Use 'Shift' to control the sustain pedal in both settings.
Important: please click inside the plugin if the keyboard focus is lost while switching between plugins.
- '1 octave' mode:
- Save your settings automatically with your DAW project.
- Finally you can use the VirtualKeyboardStandalone version to open, play, pause and resume MIDI files at different speeds without loading a full featured DAW.
This download includes 2 VST/AU plugins: VirtualKeyboard and VirtualKeyboardSynth, and a 'normal' standalone program: VirtualKeyboardStandalone.
VirtualKeyboard doesn't produce sound (it is only a MIDI plugin). VirtualKeyboardSynth or VirtualKeyboardStandalone have a SFZ (AKA Sound Font) Sampler built-in where you can select a piano or other sounds.
- VirtualKeyboard Setup:
- Cubase (option A): Click on 'Devices' > 'VST Instruments' on the top application menu (or F11). Add VirtualKeyboard and your Synthesizer of choice as 'Rack Instruments' (right-click on the background to have this option). Create a MIDI track, select 'All MIDI inputs' in the input and select your Synthesizer of choice in the output. Then go to the 'MIDI Sends' tab, click on the second line of the first slot and select 'VirtualKeyboard Midi In'.
- Cubase (option B): Create instrument track, select 'VirtualKeyboard' as Instrument on one track and select 'All MIDI inputs' as MIDI input. Now create another instrument track, select your synthesizer of choice as Instrument, select as MIDI Input '01 VirtualKeyboard - MIDI Out' and click on the little speaker below the track's name to monitor it.
- Logic Pro 9: Logic Pro 9 unfortunately doesn't support 'MIDI FX' (you would have to upgrade to Logic Pro X). Add as an AUi (Audio Unit Instrument) in one track and add your synthesizer of choice as an AUi in another track.
- Logic Pro X: Add in the 'MIDI FX' section of your mixer track that contains your synthesizer.
- Ableton: Insert MIDI track, select MIDI From 'All Ins', 'All Channels', drag and drop the 'VirtualKeyboard' plugin in the 'Drop an Instrument or Sample here' area, select Monitor 'In'. Insert another MIDI track, select MIDI From '1 Virtual Keyboard', 'VirtualKeyboard' (instead of 'Post FX'), drag and drop your synthesizer of choice in the 'Drop an Instrument or Sample here' area, select Monitor 'Auto'.
- FL Studio (option A): Click in '+' to add a track with 'VirtualKeyboard', then click in the top left 'gears' icon of the track to go to settings, go to 'plug settings' (second tab) and select 'Output port 1' in the 'MIDI' tab. Add another track with your synthesizer of choice, go to the track plugin settings and select 'Input port 1' int he 'MIDI' tab.
- FL Studio (option B): Alternatively, if you just want to use one track, you can use the 'Patcher' to connect 'VirtualKeyboard' with your favorite synthesizer using the MIDI output cable.
- VirtualKeyboardSynth Setup:
- Add it as a regular AU or VST Instrument to your DAW. Note that it can't be added to Logic's MIDI FX rack. If you want to add it to the MIDI FX rack, use VirtualKeyboard instead, without the 'Synth' suffix.
- VirtualKeyboardStandalone Setup:
- Run it as a normal program. Use it if you don't want to wait for a full featured DAW to load or you don't know what DAW, VST, AU or plugins are yet.
VirtualKeyboardStandalone is compatible with Windows Audio, DirectSound, ASIO and Apple's CoreAudio devices. If you are runnning Windows, please select ASIO to minimize latency (and if your soundcard doesn't include an ASIO driver, try with ASIO4All).
- Run it as a normal program. Use it if you don't want to wait for a full featured DAW to load or you don't know what DAW, VST, AU or plugins are yet.
A few links follow with MIDI songs you can download and play with VirtualKeyboard.
To add new sounds to VirtualKeyboardSynth or VirtualKeyboardStandalone follow the next steps:
- First you'll need a SFZ instrument (AKA 'Sound Font') containing both a .sfz file and its samples. SFZ is an open format and there are many sounds available for free on the Internet. A few download links for free SFZ sound fonts follow:
- Bandshed FTP (at Bandshed Records)
- Piano: Little Lizard (small version of the Salamander Piano) (free but donations are encouraged).
- Drums: MF Natural Drumset - Home Page (original page in German) (free but donations are encouraged).
- Rhodes: Stereo Rhodes from the Bandshed FTP. We couldn't find all the people involved in the creation of this sound jewel but we thank all of them for making it available.
- Next, open VirtualKeyboardSynth or VirtualKeyboardStandalone, and click on 'Settings'>'Open Sounds folder'.
- Uncompress the downloaded SFZ instrument to the Sounds folder.
- Click on 'Settings'>'Re-scan Sounds'.
- The new SFZ instrument will now appear in VirtualKeyboard's 'Sounds' drop-down list with its folder name.
All our plugins are available in 32-bit and 64-bit, in VST and AU formats.
Only Windows 7,8 and 10 and Mac OSX before Catalina are supported (read more about unofficially running our programs under OSX Catalina).
We aim to support as many plugin hosts as possible, including (but not limited to) Cubase, Logic, Ableton Live, Reaper, Bitwig, FL Studio and Cantabile.
However, because there is a myriad of different configurations, we recommend you to download and test our free demo before you buy it to make sure that the plugin is working well with your system. Seagate expansion 2tb mac compatible.
The Virtual Piano that started it all, Ivory Grand Pianos redefined what virtual instruments could do, combining stunning, world-class piano samples with a powerful, software/DSP engine and custom user interface. Ivory's worldwide critical acclaim and popularity has made it the industry standard, and the virtual piano of choice for the world's most elite musicians.
With Ivory II Grand Pianos, the world's most popular virtual grand piano collection has been taken to a whole new level. Featuring a greatly expanded sound set with nearly double the velocity layers, and the powerful, new Ivory II piano DSP engine with Harmonic Resonance Modeling for true Sympathetic String Vibration, Ivory II Grand Pianos soars at the highest possible levels of sampling and synthesis technology.
The playing experience is simply extraordinary with an emotional range extending from the heartiest fortissimo to the most delicate and nuanced pianissimo. Ivory II Grand Pianos will breathe under your fingers, inspiring your best performance from a truly organic instrument.
A host of new piano-centric features have been added to the Ivory II engine. Principal among them is Sympathetic String Resonance, a long sought after but elusive characteristic of real pianos that Synthogy approaches in a completely new and unique way, realizing the true complexities and subtleties of sympathetic string excitation. Harmonic Resonance Modeling is a brand new technology that does not rely upon triggering additional samples, ordinary sine waves, or recordings in any way. Rather, notes struck that are harmonically related excite the actual complex overtones of the notes that are being held, in the same manner that undamped strings ring in a real acoustic piano. Open office update for mac catalina. The result is an unprecedented new level of realism.
Ivory II also delivers some of Synthogy's most frequent customer requests, with features such as Half Pedaling, Lid Position, Pedal Noise, and Tuning Tables to provide even greater detail and control. Additionally, features like Timbre Shifting, Parametric EQ, and new Synth Layer controls offer powerful new sound sculpting capabilities for custom piano programming and sound design.
Mac Piano Keyboard
At the heart of Ivory II are Ivory's legendary pianos.

Synthogy's decades of expertise in piano development, along with proprietary 'timbre interpolation' technology combine to deliver greater fidelity, unrivaled playability, and a musical experience that is unsurpassed.
Piano Software Mac
Ivory II represents the most significant design enhancement to Ivory's custom piano technology since its introduction. Years in the making, every effort has been taken to assure that Ivory II is a true and worthy successor to the legacy established by our original Ivory products.
