The Grand includes two views: the Editor and the Player view.

The Editor view

The Editor view shows the piano viewed from above. Instead of a lid there is a display with controls for accessing the sound parameters and plug-in settings. Below the display there are buttons for switching between the Model, Equalizer, Ambience, Control and Options pages. The keyboard and the three pedals in the lower section can be used to preview the pianos.

The Player view

The Player view focuses on the piano display. It shows a high-quality 3D model of the selected piano model. Above the piano display, there are the general plug-in controls, which give access to the presets and the main volume. Apart from that, there are no distracting controls in the Player view. Just load a preset from the pop-up menu above and start playing.

Note

When you load the plug-in, it always opens in the Editor view.

Before you can switch to the Player view, you must load a piano in the Editor view.

To switch to the Player view, proceed as follows:

  1. From the Editor view, load a piano model or a preset.

  2. In the upper left section of the control panel, click the ā€œpā€ button to the left of the plug-in logo.

    The Player view opens, showing the selected piano model.

To switch back to the Editor view, click the ā€œeā€ button in the upper left of the Player view.
