Recorded at the beautiful Avatar Studios in Stockholm, lead by acclaimed programmer and producer, Michael Singh, and engineered by Inertia's explicit MIST (Marvels of Innovative Sound Team) staff engineers, the Harmonic Grand™ is the newfangled actualization of an advanced comprehensive piano sample library. Using only the superlative class grand pianos, such as the legendary Ebony Steinway, the rare Bohemia Grand, the exquisite Estonia Grand, the extraordinary Bluethner, the notorious Bosendorfer (see list for full recorded pianos selected) , a final product evolved to over a massive 8GB, 4500+ sample library housed on two DVDs.   The Harmonic Grand™ Platinum Acoustic Piano Sound Library Dual DVD Edition in Multi-Format Over 8GB of content (on 2 DVDs) 1GB+ Piano patches (streaming avail) Up to 12 Velocity Layers Cross-fade technology (realistic note transitions) Variable decay and release settings Full sustain notes(no looping) 4400+ Total Samples 300+ samples per patch! 24-Bit/96K Pristine Quality Samples List: $199     :: INSTRUMENT DEMO ::     56MB | Gigastudio Demo   45MB | Halion Demo   42MB | EXS24 Demo   51MB | Kontakt Demo   :: MP3 DEMO ::     | #1 by Gust Tsilis   | #2 by Gene Blackwell   | #3 Stacy Levigne (Figure 2B) Unlike it's doubtlessly surpassed predecessors, the Harmonic Grand Library project sets new standards in recreating realstic digital instruments. Although surround mic placement can reveal much of an instrument's acoustic existence, condenser microphones can sometimes fall short in capturing nuances from a far in an accelerative distance-based manner. Engineers extended their creative technique by incorporating close mics placed under the hood of the grand pianos. (see figure 2B on left).
