Modern D 是我们对全球最知名音乐会三角钢琴的极致还原之作，堪称无可挑剔的虚拟模拟。它采样自一台 2021 年产的纽约 Steinway© Model D，因其精致的音色与强大的动态而被选中。Modern D 也是我们迄今为止最宏大、规模最大的钢琴采样音源库。整个音源库包含 34,615 个纯净无瑕的采样，提供五组立体声麦克风配置，并由一个美观且易于上手的界面进行全面控制。我们全新的 Natural Response（自然响应）技术，可在每一支麦克风下完整重建每一个琴键的动态范围，使你的每一次触键都能触发真实、精准的原钢琴响应。许多音符拥有超过 50dB 的动态范围，部分延音甚至可持续两分钟以上。这是一台终极级别的录音室音乐会三角钢琴模拟器，就在你的指尖。
正如 VI Labs 一贯坚持的理念，这款产品的声音 100% 采样自真实钢琴，没有任何合成或虚拟伪造。我们选用了 M49、4006 等传奇级麦克风来捕捉一切细节，包括每支麦克风 2,500 组释音尾音、多层次的真实共鸣、完整采样且带独立释音的 Una Corda 弱音踏板效果，以及 Muted Strikes、Half Pedal、Silent Strikes，再加上踏板噪音与键噪等细节。凭借其在音色与音量上的巨大变化空间，这台钢琴几乎无所不能。无论是明亮、温润，还是介于两者之间的任何音色，完全取决于你的演奏方式。从最轻柔却依然细腻的弱音，到最狂野咆哮的强音，Modern D 都能完美呈现。这是真正属于钢琴家的虚拟钢琴。
现在正式推出 Modern D v1.1 官方更新版本！
自 7 月 1 日起，所有用户已可使用 v1.1 的早期版本，如今我们正式发布最终完整版，带来了更多修复与改进，其中包括“扩展共鸣（Extended Sympathetic Resonance）”功能，使更多共鸣采样能在更多演奏情境中被触发。基于建模的虚拟钢琴通常才具备这一功能，而我们相信 Modern D 是首款完全基于采样却实现这一特性的钢琴音源。
完整的改动与优化内容如下。本次更新完全免费，我们强烈建议所有 Modern D 用户升级到最新版本，即便你已经在使用早期版 1.1。你现在就可以在 VI Labs 账号中下载更新，只需替换现有的 “Modern D.ufs” 文件，并在需要时将 UVI Workstation 更新至 4.0.1 即可完成。我们认真聆听了你的反馈，这次 1.1 更新包含大量修复与改进，VI Labs 团队衷心希望你能享受焕然一新的 Modern D。
主要更新内容包括：
修复了主要出现在共鸣与部分采样中的噪声问题，这些问题在大量音符齐奏或使用极端 EQ、压缩时可能导致噪声堆积。现在即使在极端使用情况下也不会再出现问题。在保持音质不变的前提下，这些修复还让音源库体积减少了近 1GB。
共鸣现在在延音踏板按下时同样生效，也能作用于后弹并保持的音符。此前只有在先按住音符再弹其他音时才会触发共鸣。现在整体的踏板共鸣更加厚实、沉浸感更强，也可以“捕捉”之前未弹奏音符的残留共鸣。CPU 占用不会明显增加，共鸣发声数仍受 Sympathetic Polyphony 参数控制。
对 2,500 余个独立采样进行了大量修复与清理，包括部分音符起音的轻微点击声、Side 4006 麦克风中的低频隆隆声等问题。中央 C 之上的 C 升音现在拥有更长的延音，启用 True Pedal Action 时的踏板共鸣也更精准贴合每个音符的延音衰减。
所有键释放现在更加紧致、精准且有效，尤其是高音区得益于新的 Release Xfade 数值 340 以及其他改进，使整体手感更加灵敏，更接近真实钢琴，同时 CPU 占用也略有下降。
修复了在使用 Half Pedal 时 Repedal 的 Bug，此前在踏板慢慢抬起时，半踏板与释音采样可能会过响，现在已变得平顺自然。这项修复配合新的 Release 改进，使 Re-pedal 与半踏板体验整体提升。
修复了部分宿主中 Gain Response 曲线无法正确加载的问题。
需要注意的是，由于此项修复，之前使用自绘 Gain 曲线的预设需要重新制作，仅使用 Bend 和 Minimum Gain 旋钮的预设仍可正常加载。
其他脚本与界面修复，包括踏板音量现可在 -24 到 +12 之间调节、共鸣开关工作正常、VI Labs 标志已优化。界面右下角与 UVI 描述文字中已显示 “v1.1”，用于标识当前版本。
在 MIDI 预设列表中改进了 VPC1 Custom 预设，该预设由古典钢琴家 David Lai 协助制作，最适配 VPC1 默认的线性曲线或 Ivory 曲线模式。
对预设加载机制进行了调整，现在加载预设时名称旁会显示 * 号，用户自建预设加载后将直接显示其名称，不再因参数变动而自动变为 “User”，这是为了支持未来更新中的更多功能。
修复了在启用 Solo 按钮的情况下使用 Una Corda 可能导致共鸣挂起的问题，现在 Solo 状态下的 Una Corda 可正常工作。
所有界面控制现已支持宿主自动化，任何 DAW 均可直接控制插件参数，这对使用屏幕阅读器的视障用户尤为友好。
本次更新可与旧工程无缝兼容，你只需替换 UFS 音源文件即可正常使用，无需重新载入工程，唯一不会保留的是此前自绘的 Gain 曲线，其余设置均可完美继承。
使用本次更新需要 R2R UVI Falcon 2026 与 UVIEMU。

相比原始版本，Modern D 在 R2R Falcon 2026 版本中拥有更高的性能与更好的运行表现。
The Modern D is our impeccable simulation of the world’s most well-known concert grand. Sampled from a 2021 New York Steinway© Model D, chosen for its exquisite tone and immense power, the Modern D is our most ambitious and largest piano sample library ever. The library contains 34,615 pristine samples in five stereo microphone setups, all controlled from a beautiful, easy-to-use interface. Our new Natural Response method recreates the full dynamic range of each key within each mic, so every touch input generates the true and accurate response of the real piano. Many notes have over 50db of dynamic range and some sustains can last well over two minutes. This is the ultimate studio concert grand simulator, at your fingertips.
As always with VI Labs, 100% of the sound is sampled from the real piano, nothing is synthesized or faked at all. Legendary microphones like the M49 and 4006 were chosen to capture everything, including 2,500 release trails per mic, multi-layered sympathetic resonances, fully sampled Una Corda with its own release samples, plus sampled Muted Strikes, Half Pedal, Silent Strikes, along with Pedal and Key noises. With its massive range in both timbre and volume, this piano can do it all. Whether it’s bright, mellow, or anywhere in between is entirely dependent on how it is played. Everything you want from the softest yet detailed pianissimos, up to the most aggressive growling fortissimos, the Modern D delivers. This truly is the pianist’s virtual piano.
Introducing the official Modern D v1.1 update!
*An early version of this update has been available to all customers since July 1, and now we’re rolling out the final release that includes a few more fixes and improvements, including our Extended Sympathetic Resonance feature which allows more resonance samples to be heard in more playing instances. Model-based virtual pianos will often have this, but we believe the Modern D is the first fully sample-based piano that has this feature.
*The complete list of changes and improvements is below. This update is free and we encourage all Modern D customers to update to this latest version, even if you have the early 1.1 version. The download is available right now in your VI Labs account. Just replace your existing ‘Modern D.ufs’ file, and update UVI Workstation to 4.0.1 if needed, and that’s it! We listened to your feedback, and this 1.1 update includes many fixes and improvements, so we at VI Labs hope you enjoy the fresh new and improved Modern D!
*Fixed noise issues that occurred mainly in the Sympathetic Resonance and some other samples as well, that could cause some noise buildup when playing many notes or using extreme EQ or compression levels. Now there should be no issue, even in extreme situations. These corrections also helped reduce the library size by nearly 1GB while maintaining the same high quality sound.
*Sympathetic Resonance now works during sustain pedal down playing, as well as on keys played and held after others are played and released. Previously, this resonance would only be heard on keys held prior to others being played. This is useful in some playing styles, it thickens the overall pedal down resonance for a more immersive sound, and you can ‘catch’ lingering resonances in notes not previously played. The CPU usage does not increase in any significant way, as the overall voice count is still managed by the Sympathetic Polyphony amount.
*Numerous individual sample fixes and cleanups. Some fixes include notes that had a slight click or tick in the attack, excess low rumble noise like in the Side 4006 mic, and many general improvements to over 2,500 individual samples total. The C sharp above middle C now has more sustain, and the pedal down resonance with True Pedal Action now more accurately follows the sustain decay of each note.
*All key releases are now a bit tighter while more accurate and effective, especially in the treble keys, due to the new Release Xfade value of 340 and other improvements. This helps give the piano a more lively feel, closer to the real instrument, while also allowing a slight reduction in CPU usage.
*Bug fixed with Repedal when the Half Pedal is in use. There was an issue in which the half pedal and release samples could be too loud if a note was caught with the Repedal, and then the pedal was slowly released. Now it is smooth and works nicely. This fix plus the Release improvements give an overall better repedal and half pedal experience.
*Bug fixed with the Gain Response curve not loading properly when loading in some DAWs.
!) Please note that any previous presets with a custom-drawn Gain Response curve will have to be redone, unfortunately this is necessary due to this new fix. Presets or saved settings that only used the Bend and Minimum Gain knobs should still load correctly, only those with a custom curve will need to be redone.
*Other script and UI fixes such as Pedal Volume now working from -24 to +12, Symp Resonance on/off works properly, and the VI Labs logo has been improved. ‘V1.1’ is displayed in the lower bottom corner of the UI and also in the UVI description text, indicating the updated version.
*Improved VPC1 Custom preset in the MIDI presets list, created with the help of classical pianist David Lai. This VPC1 preset works best with the VPC1 set to its default linear curve or its curve for Ivory (solid red and solid orange lights on the VPC1’s power button).
*Changes to the Preset feature, now presets load with a * by the name, and the name of any user-created preset will now show in the Preset box upon being loaded. The name no longer switches to ‘User’ if any control value is modified, but this was necessary to allow more functionality planned for future updates.
*Fixed possible issue with Sympathetic Resonance hanging when using Una Corda with the Solo button engaged. Una Corda when Soloed should work perfectly now.
*All interface controls are now set for automatic host automation, so any DAW can control the interface features now if needed. This is particularly helpful for blind users as every control is accessible when using a screen reader-friendly DAW or hosting application.
*This update will integrate smoothly with your old sessions, there should be no need to reload everything, you can just replace the UFS library file and you’re good to go. The only thing that won’t load is a custom-drawn Gain Curve, as in #6 above, but the rest will load perfect as-is.
*To use this update, you need R2R UVI Falcon 2026 and UVIEMU.
*All necessary information on how to obtain R2R UVI Falcon and UVIEMU is provided in the file named “!!!Read This.txt!!!”.
*Modern D works better and with higher performance in the R2R Falcon 2026 version compared to the original version.
