Grand Piano (Maniac Player)

Grand Piano
A real concert grand piano for Maniac Player. All 88 keys with 8 velocity layers, natural stretched tuning and real damper release, so it plays like a piano from the softest ballad to full forte chords.

Instruments
GRAND PIANO — Full 88 keys (A0–C8) with key-release noise, for the most realistic sound.
GRAND PIANO CLEAN — The same piano without the release noise, cleaner for pop and ballad layers.

Playing
8 VELOCITY LAYERS — Smooth dynamics from pianissimo to fortissimo, with no jumps between layers.
SUSTAIN PEDAL — Full CC64 pedal support.
DAMPER RELEASE — Notes stop the way a real piano’s dampers stop them, and the top octaves ring freely like on a real grand.
RELEASE NOISE — The soft sound of the keys and dampers when you let go.
STRETCHED TUNING — Natural concert tuning like a tuned grand, with A4 = 440 Hz.

Sound
328 samples — Lossless FLAC, 48 kHz.
Stereo pair — Recorded with a stereo pair of condenser microphones.
