Binaural Piano
Using a carefully planned and detailed setup, we immortalized the sound of a renowned German Grand, through the ears of a binaural dummy.
The Concept
Binaural Piano is a truly inspiring virtual instrument, suitable for every task, from Classical mock-ups to Film scoring, trailers and Pop productions. As always, we aimed to get as close to the real thing as possible, so we captured the Sympathetic Resonances of every possible key combination, summing up to the huge amount of 7.744 samples just for the Resonances themselves. We did the same for the Sustain Pedal resonances and the Release samples, plus we recorded the Hammer noises in isolation, to be used either as an effect or as an additional percussive layer.
On top of that, we have included our dual True Stereo convolution module that allows the user to place the Binaural Piano in various Spaces (Studio Rooms, Concert Halls, Churches etc) allowing for a truly remarkable flexibility and sound realism. This translates to an equivalent of having 55 mic positions for each Decca Mic (without the need to download and fill hard drives with terabytes of data), plus the ability to mix and match two Mic instances, creating the perfect space for your instrument. Each Mic can also be moved in Space (through the Pan slider), altering drastically the character and position of the Reflections and offering infinite sound possibilities. Last but not least, Binaural Piano is perfectly capable of bone-dry sound, thus allowing you to use your own Reverb and audio processing.

Release READ ME:
- the file "Binaural Piano.nkm" has been removed because did not contain complete code
- the file "Binaural Piano.nki" was moved to the root of the directory and batch-resaved using Kontakt version 5.8.1
- screenshots from the product page on the developer's website were used to display the main interface
- no graphics for controls, but all controls work
- IMPORTANT! configure the AUX buses to get a full working tool (this is done by the developer, see the file "Aux_Buses_Routing.jpg" for details)
