Gospel Musicians and AcousticsampleS release 5 Acoustic Piano Sample Libraries for Yamaha Motif XS/XF with Intro Offer
Gospel Musicians has teamed up with AcousticsampleS to bring five new acoustic pianos to the Yamaha Motif XS/XF synthesizer workstations.
- B-Piano: The B-Pian Upright is an old, out of tune, mechanically imperfect but still usable upright piano.
- A-Piano: The A-Pian Grand piano is and old French Gaveau piano. Gaveau was a French piano manufacturer. The company was established in 1847 in Paris and used to be one of the three largest piano makers in France (after Érard and Pleyel). This particular piano was build in 1960 and is refereed to as a "crapaud" ("Petite Grand" in English), which means that it's a little smaller than a "quart de queue" (baby grand). It has a very particular sound, very bright and full of "inharmonicity" in the bass due to the short length of the strings.
- Kawai EX Pro: The Kawai-EX Pro sample Library is a powerful and bright 9-foot (276cm) Kawai EX concert grand piano that used to be in the Kennedy center in Washington DC.
- Academic Grand: The Academic Grand is a 1963 Steinway D concert grand which has seen countless recitals and concerts over the years where it served as the University of Arkansas' primary concert instrument.
- Old Black Grand: This is an old Pleyel Grand Piano (F-71240 model from 1928) with vintage gear like a Studer console and tube microphones, it has the rich and warm sound of the old jazz/blues or even classical music recordings.
