(1) Chopin : Sonata N°3 in B Mino mvt 4
played by Robert Finley. In this sample you can listen
the real sound of the basic soundbank. No artifacts, no filters, to fx, only the pure sound of the sampled Bosendörfer.
(2)Rachmaninoff: prelude Op.23 N°4
played by Robert Finley.
This sample shows you how the sculpture filter can slightly change
the basic timber of the soundbank to create a lot of interesting
variations.
Chopin : Winter Etude Opt 25 N°11
played by Robert Finley.
In this sample you can listen how the reverb can greatly enhance the
piano sound. The reverb uses almost NO processing and is specially
designed to avoid the bad ringing resonance most reverb have when
they are applied on a piano sound.
Old King Dole.
In this sample I use the sculpture filter, the echo and the compressor
to create a children's music piano box. I also use the background sounds
option to add some birds :)
Beethoven : Moonlight Sonata.
In this sample I use the
sculpture filter to make a dark piano and add a rain sound in the
background. This Sonata is one of the most difficult piece of piano
to play with a virtual piano. It uses low velocity samples and is
very subtle.
