Xperimenta – Due 1.9.31

Due is our new philosophy piano library, featuring two premium grand pianos recorded in unique detail using top-notch equipment.

When Flavio and his team decided to create this sample library, they wanted to create something special, something unique, that could truly preserve the true essence of an acoustic grand piano. We combined the art of sampling and the art of script writing to create the best sampled grand piano that will satisfy the most demanding composers and musicians.

Every pianist knows that not all pianos are created equal. Each instrument can have a completely different sound and coloring, and sometimes it is important to find the right piano for the right piece. That is why we sampled the two instruments so deeply: we wanted to give our customers the freedom to choose between two different instruments recorded with the same quality.
