The Rio Grande Valley – an Experience to Remember
Spanish colonists originally settled the Rio Grande Valley in the 1700’s. The RGV as we know it today has vastly changed, while still retaining much of its Spanish heritage. The RGV has been known as one of the least financially sound areas of the United States. However, over the past 10+ years due to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) southern Texas has begun to flourish.
Bordering the Gulf Coast, South Padre Island is one of the top 10 vacation destinations for spring break. South Padre Island is known for their annual Polar Bear Dip, Golf Classic, bustling night life, and even one of Schlitterbahn’s Water parks (named USA’s #1 water park, as featured on the Travel Channel). With sandy beaches stretching as far eye can see, and endless activities for people of all ages, it’s no wonder South Padre Island has become a vacation hot spot.
While visiting Southern Texas, the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, located in Alamo, can’t be missed. The wildlife refuge sits along the edge of the Rio Grande. Currently at just over 90,000 acres, the refuge is growing strong, and is estimated to reach over 132,000 acres. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services are in the process of an acquisition movement to purchase additional surrounding lands. The Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge is home to several species of birds indigenous only to this region. As quoted on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Website, The refuge is “Considered one of the most biologically diverse National Wildlife Refuges in the continental United States. LRGV represents 11 distinct biotic communities that are host or home to 1,100 types of plants, 700 vertebrate species (including 484 bird species) and over 300 species of butterflies.” This is great place for both families and individuals to spend a day, and experience the Texas wilderness, untouched.
McAllen is a city within the Rio Grande Valley that offers many cultural attractions, and has been noted as being the “Square Dance Capital of the World”. McAllen has boasted this nickname for years. Since 1987 they have been hosting the annual Texas Square Dance Jamboree. Other cultural events that call McAllen home include the Texas Citrus Fiesta, Fourth of July Fajita Cook-off, and Borderfest. A visit to McAllen is not to be overlooked if you want to experience Texas culture and authentic “Tex Mex” cowboy grub.
Visitors tend to flock to the Rio Grande Valley in the winter. Travel peaks are January through March. Many individuals consider themselves to be “Winter Texans” as they reside in Texas during the winter months, and spend the remainder of the year elsewhere. For those who reside in Texas for only several months at a time, many have found that trailer and RV parks (such as Victoria Palms) have been the way to go. During peak seasons monthly fees at these parks range from $300-$475, as opposed to only $200 in the quieter summer months. These parks offer amenities ranging from free cable TV and high speed internet, to free phone access with unlimited long distance calling. For those who are short-term visitors to the Valley, hotels offer a range of activities and tours. Most area beaches have umbrella service and equipment rentals for reasonable fees. Banana boats and rafts are popular for South Padre Island visitors. From breathtaking beaches and unique wildlife, to the hearty culture of square dancing and authentic Tex Mex grub, the Rio Grande Valley in Southern Texas is a region of the south that can’t be overlooked.

Synthogy Ivory II Italian Grand $169 Ivory II Italian Grand is the second product in Synthogy's newest generation of virtual piano technology. Featuring a greatly expanded sound set of the extraordinary 10 foot Concert Grand Piano, and fully integrated with the powerful new Ivory II piano DSP engine with Harmonic Resonance Modeling for true Sympathetic String Vibration, Ivory II Italian Grand shines like never before.This exceptional piano is one of the world's greatest and most sought after Concert instruments. Handcrafted in Italy, it is also one of the world's most expensive and exclusive Concert Grands, renowned for its expressive dynamics and full-bodied character. Its tone is remarkably versatile; equally at home in large scale classical works, intimate jazz playing, as well as a full range of pop styles. The beauty of this instrument is captured in greater detail than ever, with up to 18 velocity levels, additional soft pedal and release samples and pedal noise enhancements. Synthogy's decades of expertise in piano development, along with proprietary "timbre interpolation" technology combine to deliver the unrivaled playability and expressiveness that Ivory is famous for. Ivory II Italian Grand also comes to life in a whole new way thanks to the groundbreaking features in the new Ivory II piano engine. Principal among them is Sympathetic String Resonance, a long sought after but elusive characteristic of real pianos that Synthogy approaches in a completely new and unique way. Realizing the true complexities and subtleties of sympathetic string excitation, Harmonic Resonance Modeling is a brand new technology that does not rely upon triggering additional samples, ordinary sine waves, or recordings in any way. Rather, notes struck that are harmonically related excite the actual complex overtones of the notes that are being held, in the same manner that undamped strings ring in a real acoustic piano. The result is an unprecedented new level of realism.The full compliment of Ivory IIs new features is also present, such as Half Pedaling, Lid Position, Pedal Noise, and Tuning Tables to provide even greater detail and control. Additionally, features such as Timbre Shifting, Parametric EQ, and new Synth Layer controls offer powerful new sound sculpting capabilities for custom piano programming and sound design. Years in the making, every effort has been taken to assure that Ivory II Italian Grand is a true and worthy successor to the legacy established by our original Ivory products. Ivory II Italian Grand is not only one of the most stunning Concert Grands you'll ever play, it is also one of the greatest values in software instruments. Ivory II reviews"Ivory II... sounds godlike." STEPHEN FORTNER, KEYBOARD MAGAZINE"Authentic-sounding sympathetic resonance has been the holy grail of digital- piano designers, and the folks at Synthogy have finally hit the mark..." GEARY YELTON, ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN"Mix Certified Hit" Ivory II selected by the editors of MIX MAGAZINE as one of the Top-20 |

Best Service Grand Piano Sample Library Software $202.5 The Best Service Grand Piano Sample Library features nearly 3300 single samples of the historic 1837 pianoforte built by Erard in London. This unique piano offers a lithe, charming, warm, and present sound full of character, breathing and dripping with life. In the collection of Andreas Beurmann, the Erard piano is now available for your sampler in the Grand Piano library. The Erard grand piano comes to you in its original tuning at 435Hz (presets at 440Hz tuning included, too).To deliver the ultimate grand piano experience in your studio, the producers captured the Erard pianoforte's sound with 32 velocity layers of each note for great dynamics, feel and pure sound. Far beyond typical piano sampling—which mostly offer only 4-5 velocity layers—this digital sample collection addresses a common problem often associated with digital sample pianos: how to offer enough layers to sound like the original instrument. The producers recorded the release sounds of each key in 8 variations to complete the experience of this wonderful grand piano. To do the Erard pianoforte justice, the engineers employed vintage Neumann TLM-170 microphones in conjunction with Crane Song Flamingo preamps and Universal Audio 2192 digital converters. For maximum sound quality, the sounds were recorded in 192KHz/24-bits, downsampled to the resolution of your choice. In addition to the samples, the Grand Piano library contains an essay in German from Professor Andreas E. Beurmann explaining both the historic and musical background of the Erard Grand Piano. |
