Check out vilabsaudio.com for my latest work! Both of these older pianos are available at acousticsamples.net in a variety of formats.

For many years now, samplers have given us the ability to create a digital "replica" of an actual acoustic instrument that plays and sounds just like a great recording of the instrument. Pianos are certainly one of the most replicated sampled instruments, and with the advances made in software samplers, very realistic piano sounds are now attainable. But since the first day I got my Kurzweil K2500XS sampler, I realized it was more fun and rewarding to create my own piano sounds instead of using others. Also, I couldn't ever be happy with all the other sampled pianos I heard or bought.

So here I am now starting on my 2nd software sampler piano library. I purchased Gigastudio 3 in summer of 2006 and went off to create my first piano sound with it. An older Steinway D at the University of Arkansas was the one I wanted! I finally got the piano finished in Gigastudio (only to find out Tascam was abandoning the software totally), and I've been happy with it for a while. But never to be at rest with my work, I wanted to do another piano. This time I'm doing a wonderful Kawai EX concert grand, and after I finish the Gigastudio version, I'll work on getting a Kontakt version available.

So enjoy this little demo video I created. Leave me comments... and definitely stay tuned for updates to this great sound!
