This library is crafted to deliver a wide range of tonal characteristics and textures, making it an ideal tool for composers, producers, and sound designers working in film, television, games, and music production.

• Multiple Velocity Layers: Each piano is sampled with multiple velocity layers to ensure expressive and natural playing across the entire dynamic range.
• Round Robins: Multiple round-robin variations are included to avoid the “machine-gun” effect that can occur with repeated notes in sampled instruments, ensuring a more organic and realistic sound.
• Extended Techniques: In addition to standard playing techniques, the library includes a range of experimental articulations such as muted notes, prepared piano effects, and string plucking, allowing for creative sound design.

Studio Pianos provides several sound-shaping tools, allowing users to tailor the tone of the instrument to their specific needs.

• Mic Positioning: Adjust the balance between close, mid, and ambient microphones to control the spatial characteristics of the sound. This flexibility makes it easy to place the piano in any mix, whether you need an upfront solo piano or a distant, ambient texture.
• EQ and Filtering: Fine-tune the frequency response of the pianos with built-in EQ controls, shaping the instrument’s tone to fit various musical contexts.
• Reverb and Ambience: The library includes high-quality convolution reverb settings, allowing users to place the piano in different acoustic environments, from small studios to large concert halls.
