Product Overview

Velvet Grand is a comprehensive piano library built around the Steinway B, known for its expressive and rich tonal character. With nearly 26,000 samples, it offers a versatile palette suitable for various musical styles, from intimate solo pieces to larger orchestral arrangements.

The library features five microphone positions—Close, Tube, Ribbon, Decca, and Hall—allowing for a range of tonal colors and spatial perspectives. Each position contributes uniquely to the overall sound, enabling you to tailor the piano's character to fit your mix. The instrument is deeply sampled across seven dynamics, each with five round-robins, ensuring a realistic performance with nuanced expression.

Additionally, Velvet Grand includes detailed sustain pedal sampling and offers six handcrafted presets designed for different genres. The interface provides controls for stereo width and adjustable pedal volume, along with two switchable release lengths to facilitate seamless integration into your compositions. This level of detail and flexibility makes it a strong choice for scoring contexts that require both intimacy and depth.
