Capture the courtly elegance of the 18th century with the Early Pianoforte by Realsamples. This isn't just another piano library; it is a meticulous digital preservation of a 1793 Johann Andreas Stein pianoforte, an instrument famously favored by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
For a limited time, Audio Plugin Deals is offering this rare piece of musical history at an exclusive price. If you are looking for a sound that bridges the gap between the percussive clarity of a harpsichord and the expressive dynamics of a modern piano, this library provides a svelte, present, and sophisticated character that modern grand pianos simply cannot replicate.
The Stein pianoforte is renowned for its light touch and transparent tone. Recorded from the private collection of Andreas Beurmann, this specific instrument has been maintained in remarkable condition. It offers a unique sonic signature intimate enough for solo period pieces, yet cutting enough to sit perfectly in a modern indie-folk or cinematic score that requires an "antique" feel without the lo-fi grit.
Realsamples went beyond standard sampling techniques to ensure the instrument's soul remained intact. Most digital pianos suffer from "machine-gun" effects due to a lack of layers. The Early Pianoforte avoids this by featuring:
32 Velocity Layers: Every note was captured at 32 different dynamic levels, allowing for incredibly fluid transitions and realistic performance expression.
Key Release Samples: The mechanical "click" and dampening of the keys are essential to the realism of a historical instrument. This library includes 8 variations of release sounds per key.
Authentic Tuning: While the library includes standard 440 Hz presets for modern sessions, it also features the original 417 Hz tuning for those seeking absolute historical accuracy.
To capture the delicate nuances of the 1793 Stein, the team utilized a world-class recording chain, including vintage Neumann TLM170 microphones, Crane Song Flamingo preamps, and Universal Audio 2192 converters. The result is a pristine, high-fidelity sound that retains all the warmth and woodiness of the original 18th-century build.
