The library includes multiple microphone positions—Close, Mid, and Far—enabling a range of sound perspectives from intimate to spacious. Each note is sampled with meticulous attention to detail, including mechanical sounds from pedals and hammers, which adds to the realism. A room tone control allows for the reintroduction of natural ambience, enhancing the overall sonic experience.
