Model 7 Grand - The 88 Series Pianos for Kontakt

V2 adds many fixes and a new GUI.

Instrument features:

• 9.12 GB (lossless compressed) library size, 6640 samples.
• 4 microphone sets: Schoeps CMC6 MK4s, Royer 121 ribbons, modded Oktava MK-012s and Neumann M149 stereo room set.
• 11 sustaining dynamic layers, chromatically sampled.
• 8 release trails layers, chromatically sampled.
• independently controllable sustain-pedal resonances.
• key-release noise for added authenticity.
• sustain-pedal down and up noise layers.
• sampled with Millennia, Neve, SSL and Focusrite preamps fed direct into Apogee converters.
• all of the details of the piano recreated through the use of our custom advanced scripting.
• recorded at 24-bit / 96 kHz, released at 24-bit / 44.1 kHz.
• easy-to-use mixer for extreme sound-mangling.

Kontakt engine features:

• custom User Interface.
• velocity curve management.
• piano tone control, makes the piano sound softer or harder under your fingers.
• custom touch response control: set at minimum you'll get the full sound of the piano with added latency (good for mixing), at higher levels cuts more and more into the piano pre-attack portion allowing for very low perceived latency when needed (good for tracking and live playing).
• fine-tuned three-band EQ for each channel.
• many under the hood techniques to make the piano true to the original (life-like re-pedaling, release trails attenuation, intelligent attenuation of each single dynamic layer for maximum dynamic response...).
• master realism control and specific control over release trails, key off, resonances and pedal noise levels.
• envelope controls.
• 17 custom, high quality IR reverbs.
• 22 (+ 22) compressor + tape presets.
• 34 factory presets + user-savable presets.
• works as stand-alone, AAX, RTAS, AU and VST for Mac and PC.
