Production Grand Modern Four

About

Production Grand Modern Four is a piano plugin by Production Voices. It is a piano sample library of a Yamaha C7 grand piano, with over 21,400 samples. The samples come from four microphone perspectives: hammer, inside, outside and room. It is the downloadable Modern Silver Edition from the larger Production Grand, in 16 bit 44.1 kHz.

What it sounds like

The hammer microphones capture the hammer action, giving more attack and an aggressive sound. The outside pair uses Neumann M149 tube microphones and has a more balanced tone than the inside and hammer microphones. The room microphones are AKG C414s, which the vendor says sound true to the piano's tone in the room.
