Details

The library captures the piano's rich timbre and dynamic range through three bespoke microphone signals: condenser, ribbon, and binaural. Each signal provides a unique character, from the crispness of the Neumann M149 condensers to the warmth of the Coles 4038 ribbons, while the binaural setup offers an immersive listening experience. Eight presets allow for a range of tonal options, from tight and bright to deep and cinematic.

Performance controls include Reverb, Tightness, Hammers, and Pedal, enabling nuanced adjustments to the sound. The close capture minimizes mechanical noise, while the intimate mix enhances the piano's character. This library is well-suited for scoring contexts that require emotional depth and subtlety, making it a valuable tool for composers seeking an expressive piano sound.
