Samplist Dan Dean from Dan Dean Productions and audio architect Ernest Cholakis from Numerical Sound have joined forces in creating the new Blüthner Digital Model One Grand Piano in Native Instruments KONTAKT 2 Player format. This groundbreaking piano has been used by a wide variety of major recording artists, including The Beatles, Marlene Dietrich, and Neil Diamond, as well as composers like Claude Debussy, Franz Liszt, and Sergei Prokofiev. Now, thanks to this DVD, you can play it too, virtually, using technologies and features unique to Dan Dean Productions.This sample library was recorded at Skywalker Sound (a division of Lucasfilm, Ltd.)—one of the quietest studios in the world (both physically and electronically) with superb acoustics, excellent technical implementation, hand-selected microphones, cables, and preamps with Pacific Microsonics digital converters so as to optimize the front end for the highest detail sample recordings.Multiple Layers and Multiple TimbresThere are 12 layers of samples, including both pedal up and pedal down versions, utilizing our Dan Dean's Discrete Sustain technology. The number of samples totals well over 2,000. The BDMO's pedal down samples have air and depth in a spacious stereo field. Every sustain sample is unique—not modeled or computer generated. Using their proprietary techniques and algorithms, PAV's samples have an extremely low noise floor compared to other digital pianos on the market.Recorded dry The BDMO is close miked, meaning that there are no room reflections or acoustic ambience in the sample recordings. Close miking gives you far greater sonic detail and allows you to add the reverbs you choose—or use the custom created Impulse Response reverbs.Extremely Wide Timbral Range Finally, all the very low level detail of the piano have been captured with noise-free pppp, ppp, and pp samples. ProAudioVault (PAV) placed special emphasis on accurately capturing and programming the Blüthner's
