This lovely instrument features a beautifully-recorded Yamaha C7 with four microphone perspectives, each offering a
unique and lush sound. The library is designed to be a joy to play, use, and edit - it's mixed to perfection and
suitable for most any style of composition, from warm and emotional film scores to jazz, classical & romantic music
and more.

Why make another piano library? Simply put - we fell in love with this piano & hall, and wanted to make a timeless,
eminently playable instrument. Like many composers I have a ton of piano libraries, but now, I only reach for Pearl.
It has the ideal 'touch' and creamy tone that inspires me every time I press a key. I could not be happier with how
it came out!




The interface of Pearl is every bit as elegant and beautiful as the piano itself. On the main page, each microphone
can be effortlessly mixed, with per-channel EQ, stereo width, compression, and optional routing to different KONTAKT
outputs. The settings page offers fine control over “under-the-hood” controls such as volume envelope, velocity response,
tuning (and microtuning), and noise volume. With an assortment of presets included, customizing Pearl for your DAW or
MIDI controller couldn’t be easier!




We’ve also included a powerful effects rack for further mixing and processing. In addition to analog-modeled tape
saturation, compression, EQ, and transient design, the convolution reverb comes with 31 custom impulse responses.
These range from natural spaces like concert and recital halls to studio rooms and shimmering digital bliss.


Features:
* 14,000+ samples in both 16 and 24 bit fidelity
* 8 dynamic layers
* 2 round robins
* Pedal on & off samples
* Chromatically sampled w/ key and pedal release noises
* Four mic positions: close, pedal, stage, hall
* Elegant yet powerful script
* Per-channel routing, EQ, compression, width and volume
* Global analog modeled FX including 30+ custom impulse responses
* Custom velocity curve and (micro)tuning, plus master presets included

Piano sounds amazing (Imperfect Samples fan here). Not by any means "another sample library".
By the way, it's really nice to see people, who created this, commenting on what they did.

 

Thanks for popping in and giving us the skinny, Simon! Is that you in the video?

 

Very nice and clean GUI... but the hardware requirements seems to be to much ?!? ...and 27gb for 8 layers ???

 

I'll take 120 drives, please.

 

A little walkthrough.
