Sampled on a world-renowned stage utilizing precise robotic technology, the Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Concert D-274 is a virtual instrument designed for composers, sound designers, or anyone else who wants the sound of a Concert D-274 piano in their digital library. This is the full library and works in mono, stereo, and surround.ย
This software offers over 4000 samples per key with every nuance of the instrument captured: body resonance, sympathetic resonance, and more are part of the sound. Dedicated release samples change depending on how hard you play your MIDI controller. Support is on hand for una corda, sostenuto, and sustain pedals, with half pedaling and re-pedaling as well.ย
Multiple microphones have been used to record the Concert D-274, which is a Hamburg model. The 11 microphone configurations are available to you, making use of mics such as the Sennheiser MKH 8040, the Royer SF-24, the Neumann M149, and more. Mono and stereo miking are both possible, as is surround. Run the software in surround and you'll be able to send different mics to different channels. You can also run a downmix of a surround sound preset in stereo for a more complex stereo sound.ย ย
The Synchronย Concert D-274 comes with free software to give you multiple options for playing this virtual instrument. The playback engine sports an intuitive interface and works on Mac and Windows platforms. The virtual instrument itself is compatible with any DAW that supports AU, VST, or AAX plug-ins.
