Available for download, the acousticsamples B-Pian samples an obsolescent, out-of-tune, mechanically imperfect, beat-up upright piano. Why would you ever need such a thing in your DAW-based compositions or productions? For character, of course—and this library has tons of it.
The library was engineered with techniques to keep the file size down while maintaining authenticity. So, as realisitc as it sounds, B-Pian will only occupy 502 MB of space in its full form. The virtual instrument ships with an included UVI 3 Workstation sampler. The software works in Mac and Windows operating systems and is compatible with AU, VST, and AAX formats. You'll need an iLok account to authorize the library, but you won't need an iLok dongle.

Please note, this product requires an iLok account to authorize, but it doesn't need an iLok dongle.
