Production Voices has announced the release of 300 Grand, a piano sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt Player that consists of nine microphone perspectives and over 100,000 samples from a Yamaha CFX grand piano recorded in a modern piano recital hall. 300 Grand provides players and producers with an immersive virtual piano experience with the precision and control of a multi-track recording. The 9 microphone perspectives are capable of close piano sounds through to distant sounds with variable natural hall ambience in both the samples and the release tails depending on the microphones selected. Binaural and ambisonic perspectives are also included, putting the player right at the piano when headphones are used or providing 3D sound respectively.
All the microphone perspectives are user controllable with each channel having its own SSL emulated EQ, compression, volume, pan, and mono select for detailed control that is typically only available within a multi-track recording. 300 Grand exhibits true piano dynamics from the sampling of up to 36 velocities per note. The machine-precision sampling provides accurate dynamic response across the entire range of the piano using Production Voices' own velocity curve optimized for weighted controllers resulting in a natural playing experience. Users can select presets with either 16, 20, 24, or 32-36 velocities per note.
From forward sounds to lyrical pianissimos with natural ambience and everything in-between, 300 Grand's selection of microphone perspectives and velocity range provides a virtual piano experience that rivals recordings. 300 Grand is compatible with all major DAWs such as Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper and Logic and also runs standalone for live performance.
