CIN-C, SampleTekk Cinematic Grand

-”This piano doesn’t exist”

A totally unique instrument that will inspire you to explore new musical boundaries or maybe just pour a glass of your favorite beverage and play and play and play…
It’s an instrument that breathes and resonates, but at the same time has the contact and clarity of a close miked instrument.
This piano is totally unique, the fact that it doesn’t exists in the real world gives you a brand new sound texture to work with that you’ve never heard before.
It is a Grand Piano, but a very, very beautiful one!

Bells and whistles already applied – just load and be inspired!

The Bells & whistles
We wanted to make an instrument that was ambient but at the same time had the touch and exactness of a close miked instrument.
Using ambient mikes only can lead to a great sound, but as a musician, you might experience a bit of inexactness in the attack.
Just blending two signals together didn’t really accomplish what we wanted, so instead we used a combination of different sources, morphing and convoluting techniques that gave us the result we where after.

The resonance of a Grand Piano is very interesting! With all the dampers up, (by pressing the sustain pedal), all strings are undamped, so when hitting a note, you will get a very complex variation of sympathetic resonances from the strings and soundboard.
We have captured that resonance and enhanced it so this instrument really, really breathes and sings!

Sounds great

Can you give an approx file size ? Are the mike amounts (closed, ambient) variable or fixed ? Thanks,

Thanks! The downloadable zip-file is about 1.45 Gb and it expands to about 3.4 Gb.
The idea around the CIN serie is that it's high quality, easy to use instruments that should be inspiring to play, so there are no tweakable stuff really. As we say "Bells & Whistles are already applied"!

This cinematic CIN-C is very interesting, with a special mix of close mics and ambient mics, as well as added resonance.
I do love what Sampletekk does. They have exquisite (piano) libraries and now the CIN series adds these remarkably constructed versions and interpretations, of which the CIN-C is another major hit.
