超越传统的三角钢琴
Alt Grand 是源自 20 世纪 30 年代的独特珍品，蕴含着近百年演奏历程中的音乐与回忆。

Alt Grand 可录制带毛毡和不带毛毡的音色，并可进行混音，打造出完全个性化的音色。数十种操控方式触手可及，可彻底改变音色和氛围，Alt Grand 提供了非凡的灵活性。这架钢琴细节丰富，演奏性极佳，通过多个麦克风录制，展现出其独特的个性。

原始录音已被转化成 20 多个可变的纹理层，可以营造微妙的背景氛围，或独立呈现自然的氛围音色。

这是一个极具价值的三角钢琴采样库，它拥有多年的音色积累和丰富的音色塑造可能性，是您工具箱中不可或缺的补充。对于任何寻求多功能且适应性强的钢琴的人来说，它都是您的必备之选——从电影配乐到歌曲创作和现代音乐制作。

自然音色、毛毡音色（或两者兼具）
正如 Alt Piano 广受好评和喜爱的那样，我们录制了带毛毡和不带毛毡的 Alt Grand 钢琴。为您呈现两种截然不同且百搭的音色。为三角钢琴制作毛毡是一项细致的工作，我们花费了大量时间，力求让毛毡的重量和位置恰到好处，适合每一个八度（有时甚至是每一个音符）。

不带毛毡的钢琴自然音色奔放开阔，而带毛毡的录音则更加柔和温暖。

但最棒的是，您无需做出选择。您可以通过一个控件将两种录音进行混合，调出最适合您的音色。

与我们大多数采样库一样，我们热爱从原始乐器中创造新的声音。不断突破界限，打造原创音色。Alt Grand 包含 23 种全新的音色纹理，均由原始录音制作而成。此外，我们还可以使用磁带、吉他踏板以及其他一些独特的方法，创造出一系列令人惊叹的音色。

这些音色可以用作钢琴后的背景音色，营造出一种氛围感十足的副层。或者，它们也可以单独用作类似合成器的音色。

每种音色都有其独特的副层，可以通过"纹理"滑块进行访问。每种纹理的效果都不同，可以用来变形和操控声音的特性。

我们多年来一直在寻找合适的三角钢琴，最终找到了这架美丽的 20 世纪 30 年代 Chappell 三角钢琴。它被一路运到我们的第二个家——Nave Studios，我们在那里花了好几天的时间进行采样。它包含大量的力度层、3 个循环采样、踏板上和踏板下采样，以及全套的毡制采样。这是一项细致的工作，但绝对值得。

录音室 1 号，一个拥有温暖而直接声音的现场录音室。音色由复古的 Neumann 和 AKG 麦克风、Neve 1073 前置放大器机架以及 AMEK Rembrandt 调音台录制。

您可以选择 3 种可用于制作的混音，或从 5 个独立的麦克风位置创建您自己的混音。这是一款令人惊叹的音色，捕捉了这架钢琴的所有细微差别。

A grand piano beyond tradition
Alt Grand is a unique relic from the 1930s. Filled with the music and memories from almost 100 years of performance.

Captured with and without felt and can be blended for a completely individual sound. With dozens of controls at your fingertips to completely alter the sound and vibe, Alt Grand offers remarkable flexibility. This is a highly detailed and playable piano, recorded through multiple microphones to reveal all of its distinctive personality.

The original recordings have been transformed into over 20 transformative textural layers that can create subtle background ambience or stand alone as atmospheric organic sounds.

An unbelievably valuable addition to your toolkit, this is a grand piano sample library that delivers years of character and extensive tone-shaping possibilities. A must-have for anyone looking for a highly versatile and adaptable piano – from cinema-filling soundtracks to songwriting and modern production.

Natural or felted (or somewhere in-between)
As has been applauded and loved in Alt Piano, we recorded Alt Grand with and without felt. Providing you with two very different and versatile characters. Felting a grand piano is meticulous work and we spent ages on getting the weight and placement of felt just right for every single octave (and in some cases each note).

The natural sound of the piano without felt is bold and open, with the felted recordings much gentler and warmer.

But best of all, you don't have to choose. There's a control which lets you blend between the two recordings to dial in a sound that suits you.

As with most of our sample libraries, we love to create new sounds from the original instruments. Pushing the boundaries and crafting original sounds. With Alt Grand there are 23 brand new textures made from the source recordings. Tape, guitar pedals and some other unusual methods to create a range of incredible sounds.

These can be used in the background behind the piano to create an atmospheric sub-layer. Or they can be used front and centre on their own as a organic synth-like tone.

Each sound has its own unique secondary layer which can be accessed using the Texture slider. What happens is different on every texture and can be used to morph and manipulate the character of sound.

We searched for years for the right grand piano and finally found this beautiful 1930s Chappell grand piano. It was shipped all the way to our second home, Nave Studios, where we spent days sampling it. There are plenty of velocity layers, 3 round robins, pedal up and pedal down samples as well as the complete set of felted samples too. A meticulous task but totally worth it.

Recorded in Studio 1, a live room which has a warm and immediate sound. Captured through vintage Neumann and AKG microphones, a rack of Neve 1073 pre-amps and an AMEK Rembrandt desk.

You can choose between 3 production-ready mixes or create your own mix from 5 discrete microphone positions. An incredible tone that captures all the nuance of this piano.
