Details

The library features 32,000 samples across six presets, including options like “Concert,” “Intimate,” and “Pop.” Each preset is designed to highlight different aspects of the piano's character, allowing for versatile use in various scoring contexts. The instrument is recorded in the acoustically rich environment of the Vienna Synchron Stage, ensuring a warm and resonant tone.

While it offers fewer velocity layers than the premium version, the Concert D Essentials maintains a realistic playing feel, enhanced by sympathetic and body resonance. The close mic and room mix options provide flexibility in achieving the desired sound balance, making it suitable for both intimate settings and larger compositions. This library is ideal for composers looking to integrate a high-quality piano sound into their projects without the complexity of a full orchestral setup.
