Sampled Fazioli Concert Grand Piano - Sample Library for Kontakt 4 and above. On the main page (pictured below), each microphone can be effortlessly mixed, with per-channel EQ, stereo width, compression, and optional routing to different KONTAKT outputs. The interface of Pearl is every bit as elegant and beautiful as the piano itself.

By simply adjusting the mic mix alone, you can achieve drastically different timbres. The default tuning, velocity curve, and mixing settings are all set to inspire your compositions and musical creativity.Ī powerful yet unencumbered user interface provides very easy control over all aspects of the sound, such as mic mixing, channel EQ, tuning, and velocity response.

We decided we simply had to capture it and craft a timeless virtual instrument - and that's exactly what we did. When we first played this magnificent grand piano in its concert hall, we fell in love.

We’ve also upgraded the library to Kontakt 5.5, allowing for full NKS (Maschine / Komplete Kontrol) compatibility, snapshots, and other handy features. Users of v1 will find the interface mostly familiar, but editing capabilities, pedal realism, and noise have all been greatly improved. This version is a total rewrite of the playback and performance engine of Pearl without changing the lovely recordings.
