Bought white baby grand sample to boost my EXS collection. Now downloading. It got one,two or three mic position depending which piano complete set that you bought. This is different from EWQL way of mic positioning as you can't adjust the level. Don't have superduper layer of Ivory. One interesting there are sample like stumming the string, knocking of wood....etc No processing in each note, it can sound very raw.

Just download finish. The baby grand sound dark in general. I think it is not recommend for classy type of style. The dark sound has very intimating warmness. Among the 3 mic position, I like the pick-up from the string which normally all piano sample will pick up. There is two touch on the sample that is not explain in the website. One is the main instrument. Very fast reacting touch play. Other is the human finger. This patch has is a very slight delay. It capture the finger touch to the ivory keys. This is good for slow passage, but it will run out of tempo in fast finger.

After playing it and used it project, I find sometime to play with all the mic position. If you load mic 2 and mic 3, you can mimic mic recording position. From string and one away from piano. That is the kind of recording technique in atomic studio piano. Adding all the mic, you could play around the level. However in my EXS sampler,it will eat up 1.9gig using 17 layer for each 3 mic position. It is peaking all the time with high drop out rate. My spec is only 2.4 C2D with 4gig ram.
