Detailed and expressive GRAND PIANO. What is your ideal piano? It could be. The piano is very personal. There’s always another “greatest”: more samples, more articulations, more tricks. Hammersmith – our take on it. We think it plays calmer, sounds clearer and is a little more realistic than any other sampled piano. We hope you agree.
Pianos Are Personal.
Everyone hears and feels them differently.
In Hammersmith Pro we give you lots of different ways to hear and feel it.
- Choose and blend different mics
- Adjust the touch response
- Fine tune pedal & damper noise details
- Tweak the tuning on individual keys or create new scales
We hope you can create the piano you need.
True Sustain Sampling
When you play a note on a piano, one string rings.
When you play a note and press the sustain pedal, all the strings ring.
We recorded Hammersmith both ways.
21 velocity layers per note with sustain pedal up and down.
You’ll hear the difference.
