50% off Nocturne Baby Grand Piano
Posted: Jul 08, 2021 2:47 pm
Hello everyone,
Thought I'd post here in case it interests any of you! Our lovely baby grand piano sample library is now available with a 50% discount. Throughout July the Nocturne Baby Grand Piano is only £19.99 (usually £39.99).
The Nocturne Baby Grand Piano is a beautiful six-foot baby grand that has a warm, woody tone. It's a piano that really inspired me to play when I was younger, so I was keen to ensure the Kontakt sample library retained much of the real instrument's true character and expressiveness. I recorded this a few years ago - more or less the final time I had access to the piano - using a pair of AKG 414 microphones and some lovely valve pre-amps. Every individual sample was then painstakingly reviewed and edited by hand.
The sample library has gone through many iterations over the years before I finally released it publicly a few months ago to some really great feedback:
My next project will likely be my very own upright piano, which I intend to sample even more deeply later this year, with multiple round robins and microphone positions. If there's anything you'd like to see in a new sample library, please send me a message and I'll add it to the list while I plan the recording session.
