SampleTekk has announced sfzED versions of its Steiny D, Steiny D Close and Rain Piano instrument libraries.



The magnificent Steinway D, recorded in a concerthall for the true concert grand experience. This microphone perspective is normally the preferred configuration for recording a live classical piano performance, such as a recital. The microphones are placed at a sufficient distance let the tone fully engage the room. You might even say that the room is really the featured player here, as much as the piano.

The “Close” perspective was recorded with the microphones placed very close to the strings. Normally, this isn’t the way you would record a classical piece, but you will find that this perspective gives you a great presence and brilliance. Try this version for an in-your-face pop or jazz sound, or for bold and aggressive features.

The Rain Piano was recorded after some extensive Tom Waits listening. Specially the ”Mule Variation” album, (great stuff!).

The sfzED sample libraries are available for purchase at a 50% introductory discount for a limited time only.

Seriously, stunning sound for just 20$ (for the moment). Only the sfz sample player looks a bit off-putting.

 

I'll have to try something similar with a garden hose.
