This is a very versatile piano that works well in exposed settings but also sounds good and strong in an instrumental ensemble, bearing out one Bechstein dealer's description of the piano as 'a match for any orchestra'. I particularly enjoyed the sweet, clear high-end and the lovely muted effect of the una corda samples.

I'd suggest that this astronomical figure is less a reflection of its unique tone than the fact that it was played on 'Hey Jude'!įor less aggressive music, the Bechstein's 'master' patch (which combines sustains, note repetitions, staccatos and soft pedal performances, all played with and without the sustain pedal) shines.

Incidentally, at the time of writing the aforementioned Trident piano was up for auction with a guide price of £300-400k. The crashing low-end and smack-in-the-face middle register of this patch work a treat for brash pop and rock but would give any classical pianist or singer-songwriter of a nervous disposition the screaming ab-dabs. Sensitive is not the word I'd use to describe the Bechstein 'classic pop' patch engineered by Ken Scott its samples sound heavily EQ'd and the hard, metallic tone reminded me of the piano (another Bechstein) at London's Trident Studios, where Mr Scott used to work.

Soft pedal ( una corda) sustain with pedal.

(Well, they did only manage to sell a paltry 20 trillion records.) I haven't played many Bechstein pianos (and sadly, the ones I've encountered in studios were generally in poor condition) but I immediately liked this one for its warmth, strength and sensitivity it has a nice distinct attack that doesn't disappear at quiet dynamics and the sustains sound pleasant, rich and enveloping. Some of the Bechstein's samples have the distinction of being miked by legendary UK engineer Ken Scott, the man who famously recorded the Beatles but never received a gold disc for his efforts. The Bechstein D280 grand featured in QL Pianos belongs to EastWest founder Doug Rogers, the brains behind Fab Four and many other sound libraries. After that I guarantee you'll be in no mood to play a piano, even a superior sampled one recorded by a top sound company. In their absence you will have spent a sleepless night grimly installing over 68,000 samples from 35 double-layer DVDs. If your DVD drive is a bit on the slow side, by the time you've finished your colleagues will have gone to the pub, stayed till closing time, joined the landlord in an illegal after-hours drinking session, staggered home, slept for eight hours, got up, eaten a hearty breakfast and returned to the studio for the next day's session.

Do not make the mistake of showing up to a recording session or rehearsal and saying, 'Just hold on a minute while I install this new piano guys'. This is the largest library devoted to one type of instrument I've seen, and installing its samples takes a very long time indeed. And, as with many products nowadays, if you don't have an Internet connection - forget it. Though my experience with these dongles is generally good, I should warn you that, for reasons beyond anyone's control, downloading licenses to the iLok doesn't always work at the first attempt. A 32-bit version of the player is included with the package, but the iLok hardware key required to run the library must be purchased separately.

The 24-bit, 44.1kHz samples run exclusively on EastWest's Play 64-bit audio engine, which works in plug-in and single stand-alone mode on Mac and PC.

Quantum Leap Pianos answers all these questions with a heavyweight collection comprising four leading makes of grand piano sampled at up to 18 dynamic levels from a variety of mic positions.

#EASTWEST QUANTUM LEAP RAM HOW TO#

Nowadays sampled pianos sound pretty realistic, but certain problems remain: how to reproduce the effect of the sustain pedal? What microphone positions to use? What brand of piano to sample? Early attempts foundered due to lack of RAM - sampling 88 notes in stereo was well beyond the capabilities of your average 1980s hardware sampler - but in the late '90s the advent of sample disk-streaming and Nemesys's Gigasampler gave sampling a new lease of life. For years, companies have striven to provide a truly playable sampled acoustic grand. Having covered virtually the entire history of amplified music instrumentation with their Beatles homage Fab Four and its heavy friend Ministry Of Rock, sample wizards EastWest/Quantum Leap turn their attention to a more subtle and elusive instrument: the grand piano. Is this 'grand design' the answer to our virtual piano prayers?
