Concert \u201cD\u201d<\/b>
At 9\u2032, the Steinway D is considered by many the pinnacle of pianos.
The instrument we sampled is equipped with a custom system for re-performance, developed by Zenph. That\u2019s how we recorded our samples so precisely!<\/p>
We captured all of the possible variations one can play between the sustain, una corda pedals, and sans pedal.
The samples are beautifully even because of the \u2018re-performance\u2019 technology that this piano is equipped with!<\/p>
You can easily bend this piano to your musical will! Our intuitive controls allow you to move easily between jazz\/classical\/cinematic\/pop and beyond.
Beyond that, you\u2019ll find a whole page of simple ways to alter the tone and feel of this majestic Steinway.<\/p>
We went crazy recording 36 velocities per sample set (i.e. for every pedal combo). Because of the extreme accuracy of the instrument, you get a beautiful, smooth response from lo to hi velocities.
If you don\u2019t want a billion samples loaded, you can scale the instrument down to the velocity level you want.<\/p>
Most virtual pianos have a single, static set of releases, triggered the same way no matter how you play a note. Not this piano! You\u2019ll hear a different release sample depending on how hard AND how long you play a note.
Especially with the stronger notes, you\u2019ll even get a sense of the beautiful recording space!<\/p>
There\u2019s something amazing about REAL staccato samples\u2026 the way the mechanism reacts and then a subtle sense of space is created.
This is why we sampled an unprecedented number of staccatos: 36 velocities X2 repetitions for each of the 88 notes!<\/p>
The default position is a sweet set of close AKG C414s, and then 5 other options with a wide variety of tone and feel.<\/p>
Mics:<\/b> AKG C414 XLS, ORTF Stereo
Position:<\/b> 2 ft off the side lip at the curve of the piano.
Qualities:<\/b> Balanced piano\/room tone with a beautiful twinkly high register and tamed low end. Vibrant and hearty with enough air space to breathe.
Mics:<\/b> Neumann U87, A\/B Stereo (Omni)
Position:<\/b> 6 in off the strings
Qualities:<\/b> Extremely intimate and warm with very little room ambience. Rich with string reverberance while capturing all the subtle mechanical sounds.<\/p>
Mics:<\/b> Superlux S241\/U3, X\/Y Stereo
Position:<\/b> 1 ft above pointed directly at the hammers.
Qualities:<\/b> Punchy and percussive dynamics, great for pop\/rock music.<\/p>
Mics:<\/b> Schoeps CMC 6, A\/B Stereo (Cardioid)
Position:<\/b> 6 ft away 8ft high, pointing towards the inside of the lid from the audience perspective.
Qualities:<\/b> More room ambience and reverb coloration while allowing the piano to fully resonate into the room. Great for achieving a traditional\/classical sound in a concert hall or recital setting.<\/p>
Mics:<\/b> Modified Oktava Mk012, A\/B Stereo (Omni)
Position:<\/b> 1 ft from the piano at the player\u2019s perspective, spaced at the full width of the keyboard.
Qualities:<\/b> An experimental mic pair capturing an ultra-wide stereo image with a unique and enveloping character.<\/p>
Mics:<\/b> Stereo binaural dummy head (affectionately named Bruce)
Position:<\/b> 2ft from the the keyboard at the player\u2019s perspective.
Qualities:<\/b> Realistic spatialization, especially when listened through headphones.<\/p> <\/div>
