Bosendorfer Imperial Grand from Bardstown Audio 24bit EXS24 Kontakt | 3.9 GBThe Bardstown Bosendorfer Imperial Grand Model 290 very accurately
captures the exact sound of a real Bosendorfer Imperial Grand Model
290. All other sampled Bosendorfers that are available from other
companies do not sound like a real Bosendorfer Imperial Grand Model 290
and sound very artificial and processed, much like that of an
electronic keyboard piano rather than a real piano.
The vast majority of professionals who have all sampled pianos still
proclaim the Bardstown Bosendorfer Imperial Grand Model 290 to be by
far the best sounding sampled piano in the world even though it has
been released over three years ago, and they hardly ever use any of the
other newer sampled pianos if they use them at all because none of the
others sound nearly as good.
This 9 1/2 foot concert grand piano is Bosendorfer's top of the
line. The extra lower bass strings give superior resonance to this
world class concert grand piano. There are four velocity layers of
pedal up samples, four velocity layers of pedal down samples, and
release note off samples. The release "note off" samples very nicely
capture the ambient sound of the performance hall in which this
Bosendorfer Imperial was sample recorded. These are all actual sample
recorded velocity layers and without any filtering in order to produce
additional "fake" velocity layers, such has been done by other
developers who claim to have eight to sixteen layer sampled pianos.
Many other current sampled pianos claiming to have eight to sixteen
velocity layers have been produced by only sample recording two or
three actual velocity layers, and then applying low pass filtering onto
those samples in order to produce up to sixteen "fake" velocity layers,
and also with only every second or third note sample recorded, and with
the rest of the notes being pitch shifted from those notes. Sample
editing methods used by these developers who "streamline" their work
include batch auto cropping of samples, and a great deal of batch
processing for many different processes. These sampling "shortcut"
methods are much quicker, easier, and with much less work involved in
producing a sampled instrument. The quality of sound of any sampled
acoustic instrument, which has been produced with these fast
streamlined methods of low pass filtering for producing multiple fake
velocities, pitch shifting of notes, auto cropping, and batch
processing for various tasks, is unnatural and inferior.
Each and every note of the Bardstown Audio Bosendorfer Imperial was
sample recorded at all four velocity levels and articulations of pedal
up, pedal down, and release, and with no pitch shifting of any notes.
In other words, each and every note of the eighty-eight keys on this
sampled Bosendorfer Imperial has been sample recorded nine different
ways, for a total of 792 recorded samples. All sampled notes on "all"
sampled instruments produced by Bardstown Audio have been edited and
tweaked by hand, one note at a time, and with no quick streamlining
methods or batch processing whatsoever.
The most advanced state of the art recording techniques and world
class recording equipment were used to sample record this Bosendorfer
Imperial in a world class performance hall.
This sampled Bosendorfer Imperial is considered by the vast majority
of people to be the best sounding and most playable sampled piano in
the world.
