The library features six mic positions, allowing for a tailored sound that can range from close, detailed captures to a more ambient presence. Each note is sampled with 21 velocity layers, ensuring a responsive performance that reflects the subtleties of touch. The true sustain sampling captures the resonance of the strings both with the pedal up and down, enhancing the realism of the playback.

Hammersmith Pro includes various performance controls, such as touch response adjustments and the ability to fine-tune pedal and damper noise. The interface allows for easy mixing of mic channels, with options for EQ and envelope shaping. Generative tools like the rhythmic trail generator and arpeggiator provide additional creative possibilities, enabling composers to explore unique rhythmic patterns and sequences. The tuning panel offers a wide range of presets and the ability to adjust individual keys, making it versatile for different musical contexts.
