We recorded the finest instruments on the planet for this suite of keyboards for
professional keyboardists and composers.
The Fazioli 10ft grand was recorded in
a Studio Bau:ton designed studio, CounterPoint Studios in SLC, Utah.
We recorded this magnificent instrument
in surround with 11 channels of mics.
The piano is presented in stereo and
surround.
You'll find these instruments extremely playable and inspiring.
There has never been a sampled piano that you can play this softly. We programmed and designed these instruments for maximum expressivity and playability to fit every style of playing.
You’ll find the dashboard accessed
microphone control allows you to customize the piano for virtually any musical
application and sound type.
We placed mics over the hammers, under
the piano, 2 matched pairs of Earthworks room mics at both ends of the room as
well as a classical ORTF, 2 side mic configuration to the right of the
player.
The set of vintage keyboards were
meticulously recorded at a private studio in Topanga Canyon, in the Santa
Monica Mountains of Southern California. This stunning collection of lovingly
restored vintage keyboards includes Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Vox, Farfisa and Hammond
organs.
These keyboards were played by Arlan
Oscar Schierbaum. The instruments are part of a collection curated by Arlan and
carefully restored by master keyboard technician Ken Rich of Los Angeles.
