Xylo Piano 1.1 (SFZ)
by Michael PicherUploaded on Feb 11, 2017 (and last updated on Nov 30, 2018)
This sound library is sampled from a toy that has two modes, which are obviously "Piano" and "Xylophone". You can access these modes via key switches.

VS Upright Piano lite (soundfont version)
by Versilian StudiosUploaded on Oct 06, 2020 (and last updated on Jul 23, 2021)
Update: Versilian studios now offers an sfz version of this, that sounds like the original vst. You can find it in the more info section
This is the soundfont version of Versilian Studio's Upright piano virtual instrument. It's called lite because I only used samples from the highest velocity layer.

Artificial stereo panning and looping of long notes makes the over all sample library just 10.8mb without sacrificing number of samples, thus avoiding overstretching pitches.

Slender Salamander Grand Piano (44 kHz 16 bit)
by Alexander Holm / Signal ExperimentsUploaded on Nov 11, 2017 (and last updated on Nov 11, 2017)
A phase aligned version of the famous Salamander Grand Piano. Using velocity crossfading to simulate intermediate velocity layers, the original gigabyte library has been reduced to 389 MB (238 for the 44.1kHz version). From the original 16 velocity layers, 3 were selected then phase aligned. Furthermore, the SFZ library has also been re-tuned using the Entropy Piano Tuner.
