8Dio has released Studio Grand Piano and Prepared Studio Grand Piano for Kontakt.
The two libraries contain over 92,000 samples and 5 microphones, including Neumann 87, Neumann KM 184, Neve SE Ribbon, Coles and AKG 414. Everything was recorded and processed at 96K at a famous hi-tech British Studio through one of the best NEVE desks in existence. The end-result are two realistic virtual instruments. The Studio Grand Piano contains both Sustains (Pedal Up & Pedal Down), Staccato and Staccatissimo. Whereas the Prepared Piano contains then 38 different deep-sampled articulations, including Piano played with Guitar Pick, Ping Pong Balls, E-Bow, Mallets, Forks, Bottle Caps, Hands, Coke Cans, Blankets, Wires, Various Sticks, etc. In addition both libraries offer unique two studio-class reverbs (TC6000 and Bricasti). Everything was sampled through the reverbs, so you have everything at your finger tips.
