Grand Piano VST instrument for any DAW


Bring the organic sound and natural character of a grand piano into your productions with Pianolift by Cloudy Samples. Built around high-quality grand piano samples, this versatile piano VST instrument delivers expressive acoustic tones alongside atmospheric, processed and experimental piano sounds.

Play Pianolift using a MIDI keyboard, draw your notes directly into your DAW or import existing MIDI compositions. The plugin responds to velocity, allowing you to create natural changes in dynamics and expression while you perform.


Organic Grand Piano Sounds for Modern Production

Pianolift combines the warmth and detail of a sampled grand piano with the flexibility of a modern software instrument. Its 32 factory presets cover a broad range of sounds, including clear concert grand pianos, intimate felt-style tones and nostalgic tape-processed instruments.

The included presets also expand beyond traditional piano sounds, with xylophones, marimbas and bright melodic textures for adding rhythmic movement and additional layers to your compositions.

This grand piano VST is particularly suited to:

  • Hip Hop
  • Trap
  • Lofi
  • Chillout
  • RnB
  • Pop
  • Cinematic music
  • Ambient and experimental production

Whether you need a natural piano performance, a soft atmospheric chord progression or a processed melodic layer, Pianolift provides a useful starting point without requiring a complicated setup.


Shape Your Piano Sound Inside the VST

Pianolift includes 26 dedicated controls and a built-in equalizer, allowing you to edit and personalise each sound directly within the VST instrument.

Use the ADSR envelope to control the attack, decay, sustain and release of the instrument. Create clearly defined piano notes, soft felt-style performances or spacious sounds that gradually fade into the mix.

The built-in sound-shaping tools include:

  • Parametric EQ
  • ADSR envelope controls
  • Reverb
  • Delay
  • Phaser and modulation effects

These controls make it easy to move between clean acoustic piano tones and more spacious, vintage or heavily processed sounds without loading additional effects plugins.


32 Piano and Mallet Presets

Pianolift comes with 32 carefully designed factory presets covering a wide emotional and tonal range.

Explore elegant concert grand pianos for expressive compositions, dampened and intimate piano tones for Lofi and emotional music, or tape-saturated sounds for Chillout, RnB and experimental productions.

The additional mallet-style presets provide xylophone and marimba sounds for bright melodies, percussion-inspired patterns and rhythmic layers.

Every preset can be adjusted using the plugin controls, giving you the freedom to shape the included sounds around your individual production.


Piano VST with MIDI and Automation Support

Pianolift supports velocity-sensitive performance, MIDI Learn and full DAW automation. Connect a MIDI keyboard for a more natural playing experience or automate the plugin controls to create evolving textures, transitions and movement throughout your arrangement.

The intuitive interface keeps the most important sound-shaping options accessible, making Pianolift suitable for both quick composition and more detailed sound design.


Windows and macOS Piano Plugin

Pianolift is supplied as a 64-bit VST3 and AU piano plugin for Windows and macOS.

It can be used inside major music production software that supports the included plugin formats. Please check that your DAW and operating system support 64-bit VST3 or AU instruments before purchasing.
