MeldaProduction Monastery Grand
The prolific MeldaProduction have released Monastery Grand, a free sample-based virtual piano. As the name suggests, the 3.5GB sample library was captured in a monastery near “Czech beer capital” Pilsen, using over a dozen stereo microphones; and sound-shaping parameters include three mic positions, Tone and Width controls, Ambience and more. There’s a handy auto-harmonisation system for chord generation, and as well as the main piano, you also get the entirely separate Monastery Grand Creative instrument, which constantly loops the samples for processing with its onboard resonators and filter.
