The Studio Grand Piano LE is an extremely efficient multi-mic piano sample library for Kontakt 4.1+ ideally suited for producers looking to dial in a piano sound as if they put up the microphones themselves and for performers looking to customize the playability of their sound depending on the song that they are playing.

The Studio Grand Piano LE has four microphone pairs to choose from. Without even adjusting the volume of each of these microphone pairs, the user has 24 different variations for the sound of the piano that are controllable in real time by simply activating combinations of microphone pairs either on or off all without loading or unloading samples and without bogging down your computer. The microphone pairs also have volume controls to blend the perfect piano sound.

Four stereo microphone pairs:

1. Hammer Microphones - Inside the piano for a bright attack.
2. Mid-Side - Located just outside the piano. These samples give a different perspective and warmth. You can use the mid-side sound on its own or combine it with other microphone pairs to give breadth to the sound.
3. Spaced Pair - Just outside the piano by the lid for a more balanced sound and stereo image. The spaced pair are fairly neutral sounding, but give the user a good sense of the true tone of the piano.
4. Room Microphones - Captures the live ambience of the studio the piano was sampled in. No need to add artificial reverb to get that "studio" sound. These microphones add dimension, personality and realism to the studio piano sound.
