by Mats HelgessonUploaded on Jul 29, 2015
Maestro Concert Grand v2 is a big gig bank using 792 stereo samples of a concert piano, a Yamaha CF3 from the early 90s, It was chromatically sampled to maintain the tempered tuning. The samples were recorded with two Neumann KM84 microphones, disposed in X/Y, with 5 velocity layers, and weighs 932 MB ! The piano alone, without release samples, weighs 887 Mb and 440 samples. The release samples are 352 and weigh 45 MB. You can play with or without them.

Cuckoo's Taped Piano SFZ (flac version)
by Cuckoo MusicUploaded on Jul 25, 2016 (and last updated on Jul 25, 2016)
Internet musician Cuckoo taped his piano, sampled it and made an SFZ soundfont. All the notes have been sampled with 3 different velocity layers. As for the sound it ranges from a really light mellow harp-like tone on lower velocities to a very sharp tone with higher velocities, really interesting.
The original version uses aiff samples but it did not play well with some of the SFZ players I used, so I made a flac and a wav version.
This is the FLAC version. Link to the ...

More info: https://sig-ex.com/2016/07/24/experimental-piano-00-sfz/
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.

Phase Aligned Grand Piano from SSO
by Signal Experiments / Mattias WestlundUploaded on Apr 13, 2017 (and last updated on Apr 14, 2017)
An update to the Grand Piano included in the Mattias Westlund's Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra. The velocity layers are phase aligned, allowing smoother dynamic transitions via velocity crossfading, which in turn makes the piano more expressive.
