Piano-Library Companies don't tell us the truth?
2014-04-14T03:19:31+00:00
I can't believe that some piano-library companies keep secret that they haven't sampled all 88 keys. I took that for granted when they talk about 10 or 13 velocity layers!
The Giant by Galaxy Instruments has 82 sampled keys at most (the highest notes haven't been sampled chromatically).
Native Instrument's also didn't sample all 88 keys for the New York Concert Grand in contrast to Alicia's Keys.
But it's nearly deception when a company like Sampletekk says that the product "Sampletekk Black" has up to 14 velocity layers and that it might be their best grand piano library for 99$, but then keeping secret that only approximately 45 keys have been sampled... That's one of the reasons why I've sold Sampletekk Black and why I won't buy anything from Sampletekk again.

Actually with Alicia's Keys, there were a handful of keys with a metallic buzzing going on that I found annoying, so I had to go into the map and remove those samples and stretch the range of an adjacent key's samples (as well as altering the release samples in the lower register, where they're too loud and long in decay and muck things up). It's good that you get an accurate representation of her piano to start with, but it needed a little modification before it could work for me in a mix.
