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.

Golden Piano version 2-2022.08

The great thing about this VST is that this is never complete. This VST gets a new expansion sound continuously every now and then!

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):

MONSTER Synth - How To Draw Automation in Cubase
Golden Piano/Monster Ethnica/Synth/Voxana/Drum parameter automation in DAW Steinberg Cubase

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.

QI 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.

    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。

  2. 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

  3. After I downloaded the golden piano v2.2022.08 library zip on my mac, I tried to decompression it but it just cannot open it, What should I do?

  4. Hello! I found your plugins and I download them all ready. Theye are very nice … BUT, I have problem with one. When it comes to find library, I put folder with all libraries… so In golden piano, I have all presets from all plugins. Can I reset path, so that I can point to right folder…
    Please help!
    Regards!!

  5. 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.
    Robert Vágvolgyi

    • 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.
      Robert Vágvolgyi

      Ok then, just give me your email so I can send you the direct link. And please mention do you use Windows or Mac and what DAW?

  6. Hi. Will there be a future update that will allow the main grand to be muted/ volume controlled so that only the other two voices are playing ? This is a great plugin nonetheless and i think that that will make it better for me. Thanks.
