'Weighted' keys on an electronic keyboard are the keys respond to touch. The harder you hit, the more they play. This is This is called "Hammer" because "normal" makes a piano sound by hammers striking strings. Again, the more you hit, the more they play. Keyboard e-mail generates sound and can adjust its volume with one button. Early keyboards had no sensitivity to touch – no matter how you do you got hit the same volume. Curiously, the same is true of harpsichords! The only way to adjust the volume on them is to add records or multiply notes. Also true pipe organs – "inflate" (loudness) is unrelated to the touch. No further comment on "Is all good "- but I would not buy a keyboard that does not have weighted keys.

Native Instruments Alicia’s Keys $99 With ALICIA’S KEYS, Native Instruments has unlocked the door to the R&B chanteuse’s studio. The rich piano samples included in this sound library were created from her own playing, recorded in her personal studio in collaboration with her trusted engineer, Ann Mincieli. Together with Mincieli, Danish sample specialist Thomas Skarbye (also known by his company name Scarbee) and impulse response expert Ernest Cholakis, Alicia Keys has created a virtual piano that embodies the soulful, passionate sound that’s become her trademark. Add this virtual piano to your studio and Alicia’s distinguished playing will grace your next composition.ALICIA’s KEYS’ instrument samples come from the artist’s very own Yamaha C3 Neo grand piano. This unique and hallowed instrument was built to celebrate Yamaha’s 100th anniversary in 2002 and represents the very top of the Conservatory Collection line. The exquisite and unique sound of the C3 Neo were painstakingly captured by Thomas Skarbye, KONTAKT script wizard Nils Liberg, and Grammy-award winning engineer Ann Mincieli—making these exclusive Yamaha piano samples available to everyone. Using vintage microphones and preamps and through detailed analysis of Alicia’s playing, the team succeeded in capturing the warm, soulful, and inspiring sound of the Yamaha C3 Neo piano all the way down to the finest nuances. Great effort was put into making the ALICIA’S KEYS virtual piano as authentic as possible. Designed with incredible precision, and incorporating subtle details such as mechanical release noises, a specially developed sympathetic resonance and release system, and even the sound of fingers hitting keys (optional), this unique virtual instrument software delivers plenty of lively realism. So much in fact, that Alicia Keys herself used it exclusively on her latest album “The Element of Freedom.” |

Best Service GRAND PIANO $202.5 The Best Service Grand Piano Sample Library features nearly 3300 single samples of the historic 1837 pianoforte built by Erard in London. This unique piano offers a lithe, charming, warm, and present sound full of character, breathing and dripping with life. In the collection of Andreas Beurmann, the Erard piano is now available for your sampler in the Grand Piano library. The Erard grand piano comes to you in its original tuning at 435Hz (presets at 440Hz tuning included, too).To deliver the ultimate grand piano experience in your studio, the producers captured the Erard pianoforte's sound with 32 velocity layers of each note for great dynamics, feel and pure sound. Far beyond typical piano sampling—which mostly offer only 4-5 velocity layers—this digital sample collection addresses a common problem often associated with digital sample pianos: how to offer enough layers to sound like the original instrument. The producers recorded the release sounds of each key in 8 variations to complete the experience of this wonderful grand piano. To do the Erard pianoforte justice, the engineers employed vintage Neumann TLM-170 microphones in conjunction with Crane Song Flamingo preamps and Universal Audio 2192 digital converters. For maximum sound quality, the sounds were recorded in 192KHz/24-bits, downsampled to the resolution of your choice. In addition to the samples, the Grand Piano library contains an essay in German from Professor Andreas E. Beurmann explaining both the historic and musical background of the Erard Grand Piano. |
