Golden Piano is a Piano virtual instrument that sounds like the sound of ’80s and ’90s, the golden era of music, brought by musicians like David Foster, Chicago, etc.
Whether you need a Piano layered with Synth Pad or a Piano layered with Electric Piano, you’ll find that Golden Piano is becoming your Go-To piano plugin for your music.
The great thing about this VST is that this is never complete. This VST gets a new expansion sound continuously every now and then!
Welcome to my free virtual instrument plugin page. I’m Agus Hardiman and the maker of this MonsterDAW plugin!
Golden Piano is my first plugin that was previously on the www.monsterdaw.com website (all of the VSTs there will be moved later to this AHTV blog).
Notes: MonsterDAW is a brand owned by me, Agus Hardiman, the host of this AHTV Blog

I made a small playthrough of all 5 presets of Golden Piano:

GOLDEN PIANO Download Links and Installation Steps
Golden Piano doesn’t have an installer so you have to place the files manually. Follow these steps carefully:
1. Download The Golden Piano MAIN Player
Click and download one of the FREE main player of Golden Piano according to your OS (Mac or Windows) and the plugin formats (VST or Audio Unit):
2. Unzip and Put It In Your DAW’s Plugin Folder
Unzip the download files and put the main file (.vst3 or .component or .dll) in your DAW’s plugin folder (Googling “daw plugin location mac windows”).
3. Download The GOLDEN PIANO’s Library
Download this Library file:
Unzip it and put it into any folder/external hard disk (But don’t change the folder structure in the original zip file).
4. Insert Golden Piano and Choose Library Location
Fire up your DAW and insert the Golden Piano plugin (usually under AgusHardiman.TV folder/brand).
Click “Choose folder” to change the soundbank/preset location and point it out to the folder location of Golden Piano Library:
NOTE : If the plugin loads the different preset library, READ the FAQ below !
5. Play and Record!
If step #4 succeeded, you are now can choose a preset and go play and record:
NOTE: For Mac users, the MONSTER plugins are not signed yet so if you encounter a problem that the plugin is detected as harmful (actually it’s not), you can try to google “how to install unsigned software on Mac OS X”. Or you can follow the direction in here: wikihow.com/Install-Software-from-Unsigned-Developers-on-a-Mac or you can watch this video :
How To Automate GOLDEN PIANO Parameters?
In Cubase, after inserting the Golden Piano plugin, you have to open the automation lane (I’m using Monster Synth as the example):
In Studio One, go to the Piano Roll and add the parameters to automate (I’m using Monster Synth as the example):
In other DAWs, find a way/googling on how to add automation lanes/tracks.
FAQ About Golden Piano
Q : I have installed GOLDEN PIANO version 1. Should I delete that version or keep it ?
A : If you have some important project sessions with version 1, you should keep it. It will not clash with the new version 2. On my computer, I have version 1 and version 2, side-by-side. This version 2 has more features.
Q : I chose the wrong folder library and my Monster plugins show up with a different library. How to solve this?
A : Move the wrong library folder to somewhere else on your hard disk and start the plugin again. It will ask for the new folder location. Now, choose the right one. You can move back that 1st folder to its original location after the plugin loads the correct library.
Q : I want XXX and YYY features of Golden Piano, can you program it?
A : To be honest, I’m a professional musician and audio educator BUT I’m not a professional plugin programmer. I do this just for fun, so your request may not be available (but you can always try to ask me via the CONTACT page).
Q : Why there is no VST 32-bit versions anymore?
A : In the past, I made a 32-bit version of my VST. But now my programming software CAN’T output 32-bit plugin anymore, so I’m not providing 32-bit.
Q : I have a problem using this plugin on my Mac, I’m using Monterey/Big Sur/Catalina or new Mac OSX. It says that the files are damaged or can’t be opened because the developer is not trusted.
A : That problem was caused by Mac OS security which now is very strict. I have applied for a developer account in Apple to be a trusted developer but they haven’t responded to my inquiry yet.

Thank you for your help
Regarding the Mac version of GOLDEN PIANO,
I made a mistake in specifying the folder containing the library files, and since I specified a different folder, I can no longer use it.
Please tell me how to specify the library folder again.
Thank you very much.
As I am Japanese, my English writing is not good.
I think that there is a point that does not reach, but I would appreciate your favor.
お世話になります
GOLDEN PIANO のMac版についてなのですが、
ライブラリーのファイルの入ったフォルダの指定を間違えてしまい、別のフォルダを指定してしまったために使用出来なくなってしまいました。
改めてライブラリーのフォルダを指定する方法を教えて下さい。
どうかよろしくお願いいたします。
私は日本人ということで、英語の文章が上手くありません。
至らない点があると思いますが、よろしくお願いいたします。
Have you solved this? Usually by deleting the Library files, or the folder that you wrongly choose, this will make my plugin ask again of the location
NÃO ESTOU BAIXANDO
I just tried it one minute ago and the download is working. So please try again now, if it still doesn’t work, reply here, I’ll find a solution later (maybe I’ll make a new download link later)

Hi, is there a problem with the download links? None of them are working 🙁
I have tried 1 minute before writing this answer and it download successfully on mine. Please try using VPN or different browser.
After I downloaded your Golden Piano and opened the file in my Studio One 4 Professional Daw, Golden Piano was not there, I got another plugin from another developer, an 808 plugin instead. Why did this happen?
That because it use the same engine as mine. What you have to do is to move that 808 folder library files to different hardisk location and fire up Golden Piano. Because the 808 files has been moved, now Golden Piano will ask the library folder location. Now, choose the Golden Piano folder. After this is successful, move back that 808 folder library

Dobrý deň, žiaľ, už niekoľko dní nie je možné stiahnuť knižnicu Golden piano V2. Ako dôvod je, že sťahovalo mnoho klientov. Dá sa s tým niečo urobiť?
Vaše pluginy sú výnimočné a veľmi kvalitné, už som mnohé použil vo svojej tvorbe. Teším sa na nové a prajem veľa ďalších úspechov.

Hi, let me translate it your comment first :
Hello, unfortunately it is not possible to download the Golden piano V2 library for several days. The reason is that many clients were moving. Can something be done about it?
Your plugins are exceptional and very high quality, I have already used many of them in my work. I look forward to the new ones and wish you many more successes.
