The library offers a range of six presets, including both tack and non-tack modes, allowing for a versatile approach to sound design. The tack mode employs brass-tipped felt strips to create a bright, percussive sound, while the mellow mode provides a warmer, darker tone. Mic signals include close miking with Neumann U67s for clarity, Coles 4038 ribbons for a more vintage feel, and omni condenser microphones for a spacious room sound.

Each preset is designed to highlight the piano's unique character, from the direct and bright "Close Tacks" to the balanced "Vintage Tacks." The library is recorded in Abbey Road's Studio Two, ensuring an authentic sound that resonates with the history of iconic recordings. The dedicated plugin facilitates easy integration into your workflow, with controls for adjusting the mix of mic signals to suit your project needs.
