With growing computer capacity, virtual instruments are also growing. Not so much in terms of sample length (they were full-length years ago too), but mainly in terms of velocity layers and pedals. Vintage D consists of 2000 24-bit samples, for a total of 10 GB. There are 13 velocity layers, a huge number that adds to the quality and dynamics of this library. una corda samples are also present; the phenomenon where the hammers slide slightly so that the hammers do not play all the strings of a key. The whole thing was recorded at the Bauer Studio, with equally vintage equipment; such as Neumann U47 and KM53 microphones and a Neve console.

Further features

There are plenty of extra features that make it a great virtual piano, such as pedal, sostenuto and half-pedal sounds. You get some more extras, such as an equaliser and a compressor; quite a few options but the use is self-explanatory. A reverb is not missing either, and is of the coveted 'convolution' type; a large number of models of rooms and concert halls are included. Vintage D is a Kontakt instrument (supplied with Komplete as standard), however, a licence for Kontakt Player is included.
