The library includes 21 velocity layers, allowing for a wide dynamic range that captures the subtleties of performance. The piano was recorded using a Schoeps MK4 mic pair, ensuring clarity and depth in the sound. The main control panel provides straightforward access to essential settings, while the options panel allows for fine-tuning of pedal noise, key-off sounds, and room ambiance.

Additional features include a 4-band equalizer and a custom reverb module, enabling you to shape the piano's tone and space effectively. The instrument also offers velocity curve adjustments and randomization controls, which can add human-like variations to MIDI performances. This attention to detail enhances realism, making Hammersmith Free a versatile choice for composers looking to integrate a grand piano sound into their projects.
