Platinum 88

Profesional Grand Piano

Introduction

 The E-MU® Platinum 88 Professional Grand Piano is the complete piano bank for Emulator X and Proteus X. Featureing a meticulously sampled Steinway Model L concert grand piano the Platinum 88 includes tweleve layers of samples for each of the piano's 88 notes: five Layers with the sustain pedal up, six with the sustain pedal down, and a layer entirely dedicated to note-off sounds.

About the Recording Session

 After an exhaustive search throughout the San Francisco bay area the E-MU Sound Censral team finally discovered Whip Records in Berkeley,CA--home to a beautiful, well-maintained Steinway Model L concert grand. The piano was perfect and the room sounded great, so they started recording.

 Using Neumann U67 microphones and high-quality preamps, every note was meticulously recorded at 24-bit resolution. Each note was allowed to sound until disappearing completely -- enbling the Platinum 88 bank to be completely natural sounding and free of loops.

 Each sample was reviewed, and the best were assembled into the twelve layers that make up the Platinum 88 7 gigabyte bank. As a result of this process, the samples are perfectly matched, sound great, and are free of artifacts

 The final set of samples was then carefully mapped to the proper key and velocity layers. Finally the pedals and continuous controllers were programmed to take advantage of the Emulator X and Proteus X synthesizer engines, providing you with further tweakes and enhancements that allow you to easily configure the Platinum 88 to your personal liking.

 The result is the finest, most natural sounding piano sample library available.

The Final Product

 The Platinum 88 Professional Grand Piano contains three version of varying size:

• Platinum 88 (7 gigabyte)

 The Platinum 88 contains complete non-looping samples of all 88 notes -- five layers with the sustain pedal up, six layers with the sus tain pedal down, and one layer of note-off samples. Each stereo sample is 24 bits, 48kHz.

• Platinum 88 LE+ (1 gigabyte)

 The Platinum LE+ has three layers of pedal-up samples, and three layers of pedal-down samples. Each stereo sample is 16 bits, 44.1kHz, looped.

• Platinum 88 LE (200 megabyte)

 The Platinum LE has two layers of pedal-up samples. Each stereo sample is 16 bits, 44.1kHz, looped.

 Having three versions of varying layer layer depths provides you with plenty of options depending one the intended use and the available system resources.

 For example, while the Platinum 88 is a must for solo piano performances, it will take a heavy toll on available resources. If your system has difficulty running the Platinum 88 (or if your computer is multitasking), the Platinum 88 LE+ is an economic alternative.

 The Platinum 88 LE is great if you want to get a quick-loading piano sound that uses few computer resources. For example, if you've successfully recorded your inspired MIDI track, you can replace it with the Platinum 88 or Platinum LE+ for better sound quality during mixdown.
