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: House Wide Cardioid: Microtech Gefell M950—wide-cardioids. This pair of microphones is also designed to capture the sound of the piano in the hall as heard by a seated audience member in the first row. This pair is lower (at about the level of the keyboard) and widely spaced. The stereo image is more diffuse, and there are significant contributions of sound reflecting from both the open lid, and stage-floor. 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)
