When making the White Grand the production goal was to make a sampled Grand Piano that would work great in a mix but also deliver the dynamic response of a real piano. Using SLH, a SampleTekk developed software made it possible for us to record different velocities very precisely and from that build an instrument that delivered the same dynamic as the real thing.
When we finished the White Grand, we had a sampled piano that didn’t just work in a mix, but worked on simply anything!
The MkII
Since the samplers has been become more advanced and the White Grand still are one of our most popular pianos, we decided to bring it up to date and add some functions in the line of the original ideas.
We also added hammerback and pedalnoise samples.
Then we added our True Resonance feature and used Kontakts scripting facilities to make Real Time/True Pedaling, Sympathetic Resonance and some other nifty features, and, Voila: The White Grand MkII
- 16 velocity levels
- More the 1900 samples
- TimeVel Release Technology
- Sympathetic Resonance
- Controllable volume for key/pedal noise
- Controllable volume for Sympathetic Resonance and True Resonance
- 24 bit 44.1 stereo samples
