Imperfect Samples – Fazioly Ebony Concert Grand

Abridged version of the Ebony concert Grand Extrime library. Contains three perspective folders: internal, close, room.

Imperfect Samples’ EBONY Concert Grand Piano is the world’s largest sampled grand piano. Boasting a powerful and magnificent sound, the piano behind this sample library is an imposing ten-foot FAZIOLI handcrafted by the makers of the most expensive grand pianos in the world, and considered by many to be the elite of all grand pianos.

Finally, the epic piano has been sampled imperfectly, with warmth, without being sterile. Most piano libraries tend to sound sterile. The Fazioli Concert Grand offers an epic sound with imperfect samples, with a raw, warm, and rich tone that is not found in other commercial piano sample libraries. The sound of this piano is deep, full, and epic, with elements of real performance that cannot be reproduced by synthesis or modeling. The Fazioli Ebony Concert Grand is desirable for situations where you want the grand, expensive sound of a real grand piano.

With a choice of 5 microphone perspectives, up to a record 127 layers, true staccato, release samples, direct string selection, perfect and imperfect instruments, piano effects, muted keys, unmuted keys, piano wood strikes, lid sounds and much more, the Fazioli Ebony Concert Grand contains over 70,000 samples.

Carefully recorded imperfectly, as with all Imperfect Samples libraries, the focus was on achieving a hyper-real and convincing sampled instrument with performance sounds. Classical instruments were also recorded with “perfect” sampling, with all keys muted and perfectly tuned.

In addition to the basic instruments, unusual instruments are available, such as string instruments with repeating samples, real staccato and others.

This piano sample library is designed for use in pop, rock, orchestra, film, classical, jazz and virtually any other genre. The microphone perspectives have been specifically recorded to suit a variety of genres and acoustic mixing spaces. For example, Perspective 3 was recorded away from the piano, with a more natural room reverb and a rich tone suitable for orchestral work. Perspective 5 has a dry, bright and subtle sound suitable for rich rock mixes. Perspective 1 was recorded with piano keys, with a beautiful and imperfect sound character suitable for solo work.
