The EastWest Quantum Leap Pianos Bechstein 280 is a virtual piano that samples an 88-key, 9′ German concert grand. The timbre of the instrument is precise and technical, quite suited to demanding classical works and pop music alike. In fact, the rock and pop patches offered here have been recorded under the tutelage of legendary engineer/producer Ken Scott.
This Bechstein 280 74GB library has been painstakingly captured with multiple mic positions and with sampling techniques that secure an authentic sound. For instance, piano repetition samples have been recorded in real-time from 180 BPM performances, so when you go for a repetition, you’ll hear a recording of the real thing—not a retriggered, alternate sample. Sympathetic pedal resonances have also been recorded for every note at many different velocities.
Samples are triggered and played through the accompanying PLAY software, a 64-bit audio engine that powers the EastWest Quantum library. This software is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, and operates in AU, AAX, and VST formats.
The gold edition offers 16-bit samples, rather than the 24-bit samples provided in the Platinum version. It also provides you with a single player-perspective microphone position. All of this is useful for people who have slower computers.
