Sampled pianos are usually limited to a sound designer’s concept of the “right” attack envelope. Volume 2 overcomes that limitation. If you need a “studio” sound with lots of sustain, just start playing. If you need a more natural, quicker decay, simply move the Mod Wheel forward. The degree to which a note initially decays is controlled by the Mod Wheel’s position, allowing you to finely control how well the piano sustains.
Each of the primary piano programs is presented in a second variation with greater velocity control over amplitude. For example “Piano 1 VS” provides a controlled amplitude range suitable for mixes while “Piano 1 VS x” increases the amplitude range to emulate an unprocessed, natural piano.
Additional variations include narrower stereo imaging, more prominent sympathetic string resonance, and alternate tuning for layers.
Extensive control over reverb parameters is included as well. By varying level, time, and early-reflection content, users can effortlessly place the piano in a variety of simulated environments using only the front panel sliders.
