8Dio releases Studio Grand Piano and Prepared Studio Grand Piano for Kontakt
4th May 2015
8Dio has released Studio Grand Piano and Prepared Studio Grand Piano for Kontakt.
The two libraries contain over 92,000 samples and 5 microphones, including Neumann 87, Neumann KM 184, Neve SE Ribbon, Coles and AKG 414. Everything was recorded and processed at 96K at a famous hi-tech British Studio through one of the best NEVE desks in existence. The end-result are two realistic virtual instruments. The Studio Grand Piano contains both Sustains (Pedal Up & Pedal Down), Staccato and Staccatissimo. Whereas the Prepared Piano contains then 38 different deep-sampled articulations, including Piano played with Guitar Pick, Ping Pong Balls, E-Bow, Mallets, Forks, Bottle Caps, Hands, Coke Cans, Blankets, Wires, Various Sticks, etc. In addition both libraries offer unique two studio-class reverbs (TC6000 and Bricasti). Everything was sampled through the reverbs, so you have everything at your finger tips.
