Description

The Hammersmith Pro Edition is a world-class virtual grand piano library for Native Instruments Kontakt, meticulously sampled from a rare Steinway Model D at Mark Knopfler’s British Grove Studios.¹ It is widely regarded as one of the most realistic and playable sampled pianos available.² The Pro Edition distinguishes itself with an enormous library size and forensic detail, featuring:

• True Sustain Sampling: 21 velocity layers recorded with the sustain pedal up and down for truly authentic sympathetic resonance.³

   

• Six Microphone Channels: Includes high-end mic positions (like Neumann M49, Decca Tree, and Ku100 Binaural Head) allowing you to blend and shape the tone from a single close perspective to a lush room sound.⁴

   

• Comprehensive Control: Deep control over mechanical noises, including damper, pedal, and key-off sounds, plus advanced microtuning and performance options like customizable velocity curves.⁵

   

This instrument provides exceptional sonic versatility and realism for any serious composer, producer, or pianist.
