The magnificent Steinway D, recorded in a concerthall for the true concert grand experience. Three different microphone perspectives, Close, Ambient and Medium Ambiance that you can mix together. Incredible 48 samples/note cut's this sampled instrument in a class of its own. The Close Perspective gives you a in-your-face pop or jazz sound, or for bold and aggressive features. Definitely reach for this version first on a live performance. The Medium works well for both classical and acoustic jazz recordings, where the perception of some room in the tone is desirable. The Ambient gives you the full piano hall sound, This is normally the preferred configuration for recording a live classical piano performance, such as a recital.

The demos are: 1 - Close Perspective, 2 - Medium, 3 - Ambient, 4 - Close & Ambient mix

The Blue Grand is the perfect piano when you want something that’s a bit more mellow, old school and ambient sound.
The great instrument used for the White Grand and White Sister, a large Malmsjo Grand, a 100 year old beauty, was here used to create their more soft spoken sister.

-”This is a piano that doesn’t exist”

The CIN series are made to be easy to use instrument that will inspire you, straight out of the box. No bells or whistles, just load them and play! The bells and whistles have already been applied, by us.

The CIN-A is an acoustic piano, in case it’s two, but made into one. The power and exactness from a large German Grand Piano, blended with the warmth and intimacy of an upright piano.
The samples have been processed using some cool vintage outboard and even resampled using a ¼ inch analog tape machine. To add extra warmth and glue everything together.

-”This is a piano that doesn’t exist”

A totally unique instrument that will inspire you to explore new musical boundaries or maybe just poor a glass of your favorite beverage and play and play and play…

It’s an instrument that breathes and resonates, but at the same time has the contact and clarity of a close miked instrument. This piano is totally unique, the fact that it doesn’t exists in the real world gives you a brand new sound texture to work with that you’ve never heard before. It is a Grand Piano, but a very, very beautiful one! Bells and whistles already applied – just load and be inspired!

Based on the samples recorded during the Black Grand session.
A Steinway D Hamburg Grand Piano - By most pianists considered THE Grand Piano!

For "Steiny D - Close!" The Steinway was miked, yes, close! Giving it a very distinct, clear and full sound with very little ambience, making this sampled piano very suitable for live situations.
"Steiny D - Close!" has 32 samples/recorded note to give it excellent dynamic response.

In the 50’s, the recording studios weren’t what they are today. A few microphones and few tracks on the tape machines made sessions a bit different then today’s workflow. Most of the music was recorded live with very few, if any, overdubs. This led to a way of recording that made a special sound, you can hear it on most recordings from the late 50’s through the first years of the 60’s.

The Singularis is an instrument that recreates that sound. Through recording and processing, vintage analog equipment has been used to provide you with the sound of that magic era.

....and, oh, it's in mono!
