Simeon Amburgey Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Just discovered this piano library and it is massive! Embertone Walker 1955 Steinway Concert D Piano Library I am working on downloading and installing in between trying to put my new PC build together. It has an amazing 32 velocity layers and uses an interesting sample recording re-performance technique that allows accuracy and consistency between the layers. Anyone else here using this library? I am hoping to do a play-through video soon. Edited December 11, 2019 by Simeon Amburgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bone Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I have not checked it out - I have a bunch of really nice pianos, and any one of them is better than anything anyone recorded on since the 60's, so I kind of slacked off on trying to get the next best piano library - I actually just recently canceled my EastWest Composer Cloud X or Plus or whatever their super-sized one was called - it was 5 mic positions and 48k x 24-bit - I just pretty much use the ones in Kontakt, that came with Komplete 12 Ultimate. Those sound great. I might go check the Embertone one out though, to hear what 32 velocity layers brings to the table - Bob Bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcumpian Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I use this one. It does really sound great, and the varying mic positions really help find a place in a mix. My go to pianos at the moment are: This one ISW Pearl Wavesfactory Mercury Keyscapes LA Custom C7 Between these, there is a piano to fit the bill. I still occasionally use the pianos in Ivory II, particularly the Bosendorfer, but not nearly as often as I used to. Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you have the horsepower this is a very interesting way to tailor a particular piano sound in a mix. I was checking this out last night and assigned the different mic slots to faders on my nanoKONTROL and it was a very interesting way to adjust the blend of the mic positions. I am amazed I am just finding out about this one Edited December 12, 2019 by Simeon Amburgey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Ivory II American Concert D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
