skybox Audio Hammers + Waves – Acoustic KONTAKT
A beautiful Yamaha C6 Conservatory piano was chosen for the Modern Grand. This particular model stood out as having a balanced tone that would stand strong as a solo instrument while also being punchy enough to sit well in a mix.
Why A Robot?
Captured By Proprietary Robotic automation
Using robotic precision allowed us to capture the true response of these instruments in incredible detail. 16 velocity layers per key are determined by the force applied to the key itself, not an estimation based on amplitude. The result is a playing experience that is freakishly true to the feel and response of the original instrument.
