哥伦比亚唱片公司 Historic Steinway D Concert 三角钢琴
《Piano In Blue》捕捉了哥伦比亚唱片公司为迈尔斯·戴维斯（Miles Davis）的《Kind Of Blue》和格伦·古尔德（Glenn Gould）的《戈德堡变奏曲》（Goldberg Variations）使用的施坦威D音乐会三角钢琴的历史声音。体验一架可弹奏的精美三角钢琴，该钢琴编码为免费的Native Instruments Kontakt Player 6.6.1和Komplete Kontrol。在这个空间中保存这架钢琴的标志性组合的机会是值得的，现在我们能够将其提供给世界各地的音乐创作者。
截至 2021 年 10 月，Piano In Blue 已更新为与免费的 Kontakt Player 6.6.1+ 以及 NKS 编码兼容，现在可以直接通过 Native Access 应用程序下载和安装。此更新将 Piano In Blue 放在 Kontakt 的“库”选项卡中，以便于访问，并包括对性能和音质的改进。

Direct 样品经过精心处理和降噪，以备最新更新使用。该库在之前的更新中进行了去噪，并且在 2021 年秋季的最新 NKS 更新中再次对 Direct 示例进行了去噪。这种最新的处理方式使库的温暖丰富性干净利落地流露出来，并以自然、可演奏、可控的方式展现了这种乐器的特征。

考虑到迈尔斯·戴维斯（Miles Davis）的“Kind of Blue”录音中的几张历史照片，我们的工程师设置了三组麦克风。第一对 – 来自旧哥伦比亚设置的 M49，具有相同的位置（使用立体声放置而不是单声道），另外两对分别设置在更远的地方。

我们为每个麦克风录制了两条信号链，一条干净的信号通过 Neve 调音台，一条通过历史悠久的磁带机，最后进入 Pro Tools。我们强烈建议您探索磁带信号的迷人着色，但两者都是为了您的方便而提供的。请注意，磁带样本确实具有更高的增益声音，并且我们包括一个噪声旋钮，因此您可以控制磁带嘶嘶声的基线水平，以帮助防止样本完全静音。

钢琴是半音阶采样的 – 一次一个键 – 暴露出每个键的音色变化。这是获得乐器真实表现的唯一方法。这架钢琴是手工精心采样的，仔细考虑了什么最适合采样的钢琴，贯穿整个录音过程本身以及之后的每个制作阶段。

我们真诚地希望您和我们一样喜欢这架钢琴。

Sonicsmiths Piano In Blue KONTAKT
Columbia Records Historic Steinway D Concert Grand Piano
Piano In Blue captures the historic sound of the Steinway D concert grand piano used at Columbia Records for Miles Davis’ “Kind Of Blue” and Glenn Gould’s “Goldberg Variations.” Experience a beautifully playable grand piano, encoded for the free Native Instruments Kontakt Player 6.6.1 and Komplete Kontrol. The opportunity to preserve this iconic combination of this piano in this space has been worthwhile, and now we are able to make it available to music creators worldwide.
As of October 2021, Piano In Blue has been updated to be compatible with the free Kontakt Player 6.6.1+ as well as NKS encoding, and can now be downloaded and installed directly via the Native Access application. This update puts Piano In Blue right in the Libraries tab of Kontakt for easy access, and includes improvements to performance and sound quality.

The Direct samples have been meticulously treated and de-noised for this latest update. The library had undergone de-noising for a previous update, and this was done again for the Direct samples for the latest NKS update in the fall of 2021. This newest treatment allows the warm richness of the library to come through cleanly and expose the character of this instrument in a natural, playable, controlled way.
With a mind to the handful of historic pictures from the recording from Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue,” our engineer set up three sets of microphones. The first pair – the M49’s from the old Columbia setup, with the same placement (using stereo placement rather than mono), and with the two other pairs each set successively farther back.

We recorded two signal chains for each mic, a clean signal going through the Neve console and one going through a historic tape machine and finally into Pro Tools. We highly suggest exploring the charming colorization of the tape signal but both are provided for your convenience. Note that the Tape samples do have a higher-gain sound, and we include a Noise knob so you can control the baseline level of tape hiss to help prevent samples going to complete silence.

The piano was sampled chromatically — one key at a time — exposing delightful variances in timbre with each key. This was the only way to get a true representation of the instrument. The piano was meticulously sampled by hand, with careful consideration for what works best with a sampled piano, all throughout the recording session itself and at every stage of production thereafter.

We sincerely hope you enjoy this piano as much as we do.
