‘Very Close Piano 2’ provides the piano sound with more precision, more attack, and more density that you have never heard before. In addition to the classic stereophonic recording, new 2 microphone positions were adopted to the piano recordings which are regarded as impossible works in traditional recording sessions. With one microphone at the hammer and the other at the tail of the being played piano string, all the musical potential of each piano note turned into the real. In order to deliver the density and precision of Bösendorfer sound to users, ‘Very Close Piano 2’ was recorded at an acoustically neutral place with high-end recording equipments.
‘Very Close Piano 2’ is a virtual instrument running under the full version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or higher. ‘Very Close Piano 2’ comes with more than 1,300 sound samples and provides an exclusive X-Fade mode which allows users to change microphone positions during each note of the piano is being played. Now, you can take full advantage of the extreme proximity microphones on the attack of piano note while considering the use of ambience microphones on the tail of string for adding width to the sound at the same time.
Catching Every Details from Piano Sound Inouï Samples applied two proximity microphones to the piano Hammer and Tail each for the catching of greatest details from the piano sound. Both proximity microphones - Hammer and Tail - were placed just over the piano strings being recorded and moving along with the played sounds passing through the strings. The Hammer samples were taken with a high-precision super-cardioid dynamic microphone placed perpendicularly above the string being recorded. Using the same technique as the Hammer, a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone was placed 2 cm above the string near the piano tail for taking Tail samples. In addition to the proximity recording techniques, the AB stereo microphone technique, named as Room, was adopted to provide users with the integration of the sound into the mix, a softer sound, and a wider stereophony. It is also useful to create a more complex multi-channel mix by placing the close microphones into the front channels and the AB into the rear channels. This AB take is very neutral, made with a pair of small-diaphragm omni-directional condenser microphones. Thus, ‘Very Close Piano 2’ offers the closest sound possible, while maintaining a very homogeneous sound throughout the range, which makes it unique and absolutely inimitable in recording sessions.
Interface and Controls The interface of ‘Very Close Piano 2’ is made up of 2 main areas - The mixing console and The mode specific controls.
The mixing console is made up of 3 channels, one for each microphone position (Hammer, Tail, and Room). Changing the phase between the different microphone positions provides the possibility of radical change of the sound and can be particularly useful between the Hammer and Tail. For this purpose, a micro-delay control has been added to each channel.
In order to maximize the potential of the 3 microphone positions, ‘Very Close Piano 2’ provides users with 3 modes - Legato/Portamento mode, Reverse mode, and X-Fade mode.
With ‘Very Close Piano 2’ You can do: - Play and record very details of piano sound - Create various effects on the piano sound - For live performance use - and more.
