Native Instruments Launches Claire: A Stunning Virtual Italian Concert Grand Piano

Native Instruments Claire

Native Instruments unveiled Claire, a breathtaking addition to its lineup of virtual instruments made in partnership with Galaxy Instruments. Claire isn’t just another piano plugin - it brings the magic of a 10-foot Italian concert grand piano right to your fingertips, with meticulous sampling that captures every nuance of its incredible sound.


Why Native Instruments Claire Stands Out


Building on the beloved Noire engine, Claire delivers a full, lush range of tones. From the deep, resonant basses that fill out a mix to shimmering high notes, Claire offers composers and producers a beautiful, inspiring tool for any genre. Whether you’re crafting an intimate ballad or layering cinematic scores, Claire makes each note feel alive and full of possibilities.


Key Features You’ll Love


  • The Beauty of a Rare Italian Grand: Claire is based on a rare, meticulously crafted Italian concert grand piano with an extra fourth pedal, letting you shape volume and tone in a subtle and powerful way. Perfect for adding expressive nuance without losing depth.

  • Rich Sound Design Options: Recorded in the prestigious Galaxy Hall, Claire has close and room mic setups that you can blend effortlessly. Add a dash of colour, tweak the tone, and even control mechanical and pedal sounds to craft a sound that feels real and uniquely yours.

  • Particles Engine for Dynamic Layers: Using Noire’s Particles feature, Claire adds lush harmonic layers that respond to your playing. It’s like having a built-in orchestra, creating gentle rhythms and harmonics that breathe emotion into each piece.

  • Intuitive Kontrol Integration: Designed for full integration with Kontrol S-Series keyboards, Claire offers an intuitive interface with velocity editing, intelligent presets, and hands-on control over every detail - all from the keyboard’s display.


Claire is available now at $149 / €149. To learn more, experience it firsthand, and hear what it can do for your music, visit native-instruments.com.
