★★★★☆
Versilian is a virtual instrument development company who develop a wide range of orchestral, acoustic virtual instrument plugins.
This free piano VST plugin was sampled from a Yamaha upright piano at Berklee College of Music. Given it was recorded in a “lonely basement dorm room” the sound is clean, precise and very good quality.
The VS Upright No. 1 has a broad, dynamic range and a bright, clear tone. However, it is probably more of a light-weight “sketching” piano plugin rather than the final piano of choice for your final master.
It features 3 velocity layers with 2 RR; sampled in tri-tones with a pair of wide, close mics. It also has sampled decays up to 30 seconds.
VS Upright No. 1 is available for both Mac and PC.
