With this crossgrade, owners of Dorico Pro 6 or Dorico Elements 6 get the full version of Etude, a deeply sampled Yamaha C3X grand piano.

The Yamaha C3X was sampled in a recording space acoustically designed especially for playing and experiencing pianos – balanced, with delicate harmonic richness at the top end and deep, warm tones in the lower octaves. Thanks to its mixer with the four microphone positions Player, Mid, Tail and Room, Etude suits scoring as well as classical, jazz or pop writing. Adjustable sustain and sympathetic resonances, attack, key and pedal noises, five tuning systems plus reverb, EQ and compressor with tailored presets shape the sound.
