Many more demos are on the website.




THE STEIN is a meticulously sampled Antique Steinway Model B. With a depth of character and colour that instantly inspires from the first note. With a whopping 10 individually configurable microphone signals, 6 of which placed to create a deep stereo image, the nuance captured is highly detailed. The STEIN also has additional mechanical noises from pedal sounds alongside mechanical & musical release triggers for added realism. We have also created a trailblazing approach to the sympathetic frequencies heard when using a sustain pedal on the real deal. A concert grand not to be missed!

So nuanced, you'll feel like you are sitting in the room with this one of a kind Concert Grand...



Important Note: The STEIN requires the FULL version of Kontakt 5/6/7 or above. Do not purchase this if you only have Kontakt Player.

Gymnopedie No. 1 definitely created my interest to look into this. Can’t say I like the reverberation added to many of these demos, but perhaps it’s just a matter of taste. Do hope it’s not part of the library and has indeed been added. Will listen further once I’m back in my studio.
