Passionate and Bright
The 1985 Passionate Grand Piano is an ultra-deep-sampled piano library – featuring over 66,000 samples, up to 10 velocity layers, 5 round-robins, a wealth of flexible articulations, and all across 6 microphone positions. Whether it is getting close to the strings, listening from the player's position, the darker tones underneath the piano, or more ambient perspectives using room microphones. We used the finest Neumann microphones (U87, Um57) and a wealth of other high-end studio microphones.
Equally important is the elegant playability. The 1985 Passionate Piano plays fluently across all velocities – with a beautiful, warm, and wide sound of a mature grand. You will not notice these are samples, but rather a real instrument at your fingertips. Full of life, personality, natural resonance and harmonics.
The Passionate Grand Piano contains both deep-sampled Sustains, Una Corda (felt piano), Staccatissimo and Staccato. The short note staccatos were recorded with 5 RR pr. velocity layer – offering you the ability to play incredibly fast licks with clear definition on the attack of the sound. This feels and plays completely realistically. The Passionate Piano also contains our latest Chaos FX designed for sound design. We included many of our new custom Textural Convolution Delays, which gives the instrument the ability to delay textures from other non-piano sound sources.
