The Concert Grand Pianos CD-ROM in Emu-EOS format features two Yamaha Concert Grand Pianos recorded in-studio and on a well-know sound stage. Unlike a lot of European and American concert grand pianos, Yamaha pianos have become the choice of many studios and musicians because of their clarity and low-to-high consistency when going to tape. They also record with a distinctively broad stereo image that blends and projects very well, even in dense mixes.
Featured in this library are a Yamaha C7 recorded in-studio and a CFIIIS nine-foot grand recorded on the scoring stage. Each dynamic is provided in stereo or mono and can be loaded together or individually for maximum flexibility within the context of a user's set-up, including pedal down notes with resonating harp. These pianos respond beautifully to 88-note weighted controllers and a slew of programming options are provided for loud or soft music. A useful variety of memory sizes range from 10 to 128MB. The lower samples on the Concert Grand Pianos CD-ROM have enormous, long sustains that rival the sustain of an actual held note.
