Description: 8Dio 1985 Passionate Grand Piano is a piano library with ultra-deep sampling, including more than 66,000 samples, up to 10 velocity layers, 5 RRs, many flexible articulations and 6 microphone positions. Microphones literally surrounded the entire piano, so you can create exactly the sound you want. Whether it’s approaching the strings or being audible from the position of the musicians. Whether it’s darker piano tones or more ambient vistas using room microphones. We have used the best Neumann microphones (U87, Um57) and many other high quality studio microphones.
Equally important is elegant playability. The 1985 Passionate Piano plays smoothly at all velocities – with the beautiful, warm and wide sound of a real grand piano. You will not notice that these are samples, this is a real instrument at your fingertips. Full of life, personality, natural resonance and harmonies.
Passionate Grand Piano includes both deeply sampled sustains as well as Una Corda (felt piano), Staccatissimo and Staccato. Staccato short notes were recorded at 5 RR at Loy Velocity – offering you the ability to play incredibly fast sections with a clear definition of the sound’s attack. It feels and sounds completely realistic. Passionate Piano also contains our latest Chaos FX designed for sound design. We’ve included many of our new custom texture convolutional delays, which give the instrument the ability to delay the textures of other non-piano sound sources.
The 8Dio Passionate Grand Piano is simply a real work of art! Recorded with real vintage analog gear and 6 independent mic positions. Embodies the deeper spirit of the instrument. 66,000 samples, up to 10 velocity layers and a virtual instrument built for the compositional mind and happy fingers!
