Originals Intimate Grand Piano

Presets (8)

• Direct — The close condensers with reduced mechanical sounds of the hammers and pedal
• Intimate — A dry and characterful mix of the two close microphones with the mechanical sounds of the hammers and pedal increased
• Broad — A blend of all three signals provides a versatile and characterful sound
• Reverberant Ribbons — The ribbons, KU100 and a generous helping of reverb for a colourful, cinematic sound
• Ambient — The Binaural signal with the reverb turned up
• Soft Drama — A combination of all three signals provides a dramatic and suspenseful sound
• Subdued — The upper dynamic layer has been removed to remove brightness from the piano, useful for gentle and pensive moods
• Dynamic — The variance in dynamic layers is emphasised to allow for greater control over expression and nuance of the piano

Signals (3)

• Condenser — a pair of Neumann M149 microphones for a crisp, full bodied sound.
• Ribbon — a pair of Coles 4038 ribbon microphones providing a characterful and warm sound.
• Binaural — Neumann KU100 dummy head, providing a realistic image of the piano, as if you were sitting at the piano yourself. Works particularly well with reverb.
