This is not a pristine, clean plugin, and the notes can be quite hard hitting! We feel this adds to the percussive nature of honky-tonk style piano playing. The end result is an EXTREMELY PURCUSSIVE and LOUD piano library that will cut through your mix. Noise was removed and the piano was eq'd and compressed - yes, this is a heavily processed plugin. Once the notes were recorded, the laborious task of processing them began.
Unlike most piano libraries that just record one or the other, the piano was sampled with both sustain pedal open and closed, increasing the library's size, but allowing for more expression well playing. We attempted to sample this piano deeply (10 velocity layers, 2 note round robin) but in the end, round robin was only partially captured, well the velocity goals were met.
