If you are looking for the current state of the art in grand piano virtual instrument technology for your Digital Performer virtual studio, look no further than Ivory™. Ivory is a large, skillfully designed instrument plug-in developed by former Kurzweil engineers who have made a career out of developing instrument sounds.

And the new Version 1.5 release now features over 4,000 samples combined with an all-new sample playback engine, complete with built-in effects, to bring out the resonance, response and character of the world's finest concert grands.
