Voice description
GRAND
PIANO1
GrandPiano1
This sound was sampled from a full concert grand
piano. Three stages of dynamics were sampled,
and no effort has been spared in making the sound
virtually identical to that of an acoustic piano. Even
the tonal changes produced by the damper pedal
and the subtle sounds of releasing a key are repro-
duced. The sympathetic vibration (string reso-
nance) that occurs between the strings of an
acoustic piano has also been simulated. Suitable
not only for classical compositions but also for piano
pieces of any style.
MellowPiano A warm and mellow piano sound. Ideal for classical
music.
