The E-MU Platinum 88 is a complete grand piano sound library for Emulator X and Proteus X. Using a meticulously sampled Steinway Model L concert grand piano, the Platinum 88 features twelve 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. Every note was recorded through its natural delay, enabling the Platinum 88 bank to be completely free of loops. The samples were then mapped to their proper key and velocity positions in Emulator X and Proteus X and programmed with Pedals and Continuous Controllers. The result is the Platinum 88 - the finest, most natural sounding piano sample library available. Also included are 1GB and 200MB versions of the piano for ultimate sequencing flexibility and optimized performance.
