It was chromatically sampled, to maintain the tempered tuning. technical The Giga file is 895 mb. Maestro Concert Grand contains 452 stereo samples. It was recorded with a pair of Neumann KM84 microphones in X/y stereo. x/y provides excellent mono compatibility. The samples are sorted in 5 velocity layers, of which velocity 0-30 are piano, 30-59 are mezzo piano, 60-89 are mezzo forte, 90-108 are forte and 109-127 fortissimo.

It gives you, the artist, the choice of adding additional pedal noise in your recordings for added realism. They are located in a second patch, below the piano key range, at midi key number 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. note: This is changed with Concert Grand v2, which has separate versions of the piano, and additional release samples in four veocities, adding 352 samples. contact Any questions about the giga file goes to: Mats Helgesson e-mail: xo@telia.com legal All samples are Copyright © Mats Helgesson, 2003.
