Two Characteristics

It may seem like a minor detail, but to experts it means the world. The Grand S piano was recorded with open lid as well as with the lid removed, and separate miking techniques. As a result Session Keys Grand S comes with two very distinct piano sample sets: “Concert” favoured in classic recordings and “Studio” for popular music applications. Switch between the two piano characteristics as your creativity requires.
