Grand Piano XXL is
a free virtual piano instrument plugin (ROMpler)
featuring a sampled Yamaha C5 6'7" Grand Piano.
The original samples (Creative
Commons Attribution 3.0 license) were recorded by
Alexander Holm with two AKG c414 condenser
microphones placed in an AB position at around 12
centimeters above the strings.
All the samples were captured in
48kHz 24-bit audio quality with 16 velocity layers
which are all present in this virtual plugin, hence
the 1.19 GB size on disk.
The GUI is simple and intuitive with
attack & release controls, reverb module, and gain.
In the middle, there's a "Tremolo" section with LFO
rate & depth for pitch, expression, and pan, plus
filter cutoff with selectable lowpass/highpass. The
"Key" knob acts as a gain for piano keys release.
