Abstract: | The bitKlavier Grand consists of sample collections of a new Steinway D grand piano from nine different stereo mic images, with: 16 velocity layers, at every minor 3rd (starting at A0); Hammer release samples; Release resonance samples; Pedal samples. Release packages at 96k/24bit, 88.2k/24bit, 48k/24bit, 44.1k/16bit are available for various applications. |
Description: | Lip Cardioid: DPA 4011—cardioids
This pair of microphones is designed to capture the sound of the strings, hammers and harp with little contribution from the open lid, stage-floor, and room. It’s centrally located position accurately captures the stereo image of the piano if a listener was facing the open lid. The use of cardioids and the close position (at the lip of the piano) gives an impression of a bass-boost (by taking advantage of the proximity effect of cardioids). This is a familiar position used in jazz recordings. It’s a close sound and somewhat darker than a pair of mics that would be higher above the strings.
File Naming Convention: C4 = middle C
. Main note names:
[note name][octave]v[velocity].wav
-- e.g., “D#5v13.wav”
. Release resonance notes: harm[note name][octave]v[velocity].wav
-- e.g., “harmC2v2.wav”
. Hammer samples:
rel[1-88].wav (one per key)
-- e.g., “rel23.wav”
. Pedal samples:
pedal[D/U][velocity].wav
-- e.g., “pedalU2.wav” => pedal release (U = up), velocity = 2 (quicker release than velocity = 1)
