Lush, spacious, and rich in tone, Klavier is a versatile, top-quality hybrid and underscore piano instrument that is incredibly easy to use. At the core of Klavier, we have two instruments:
The first, our Gravitas Piano, allows you to morph between a deeply sampled orchestral grand piano, and synthetic piano sound design created by top trailer composers and sound designers.
The second, our Red Planet Piano, allows you to morph between the same orchestral grand and electric guitar sound design layers. With an abundance of sonic possibilities, Klavier serves as an incredibly useful instrument for a wide range of music.
Painstakingly recorded and detailed sampling at its core, morphing into a synthetic instrument made by some of the best producers in the trailer industry.
The perfect go-to for your next trailer placement.
The same grand morphing into complex synthetic guitar sounds, recorded using the legendary and very limited Ibanez JPM90HAM.
A true blockbuster sound.
- Gravitas Piano (Piano meets Sound Design)
- The Gravitas Piano was designed specifically for trailer music. A piano that can cut through in a big and epic mix, yet still retain a lot of warmth and depth. To achieve this, we used a set of six stereo microphones and then combined these with their corresponding sound-designed (“Synthetic”) counterparts in post production.Organic Piano: Yamaha Baby Grand Piano
- 2x Brauner Phantom Classic Front End Audio Microphones (above the piano)
- 2x DPA 4011A Cardioid Microphones (below the piano)
- 2x Neumann KM184 Small-diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphones (above the keys, one on each side of the player)
- 2x Neumann U87 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphones (inside the lid)
- 2x Coles 4038 Ribbon Microphones (inside the lid)
- 2x Earthworks QTC40 Small-diaphragm Omnidirectional Condenser Microphones (room)
The Gravitas Piano comes with 35 “Synthetic” presets, made by some of the best producers in the trailer industry. These “Synthetic” presets can be accessed via the preset control on the “Synthetic” side of the piano. The “Organic” piano offers both Sustained and Staccato articulations. All of the “Synthetic” presets were made using the original samples from the “Organic” piano. No synthesizers or other instruments were used, just pure sound manipulation and sound design.

“Klavier Gravitas Piano and Red Planet Piano are absolutely gorgeous. Very strong and intimate but also powerful with deep rich ambiances and luscious trails. A classic, natural sounding piano with fantastic effects and a very clean and easy interface, thanks Audio Imperia for such a beautiful instrument.” Rod Abernethy – Composer: Rage, Deadspace
