QL Pianos

Quantum Leap Pianos
Bechstein D-280 Concert Grand, the same kind of piano engineer/producer Ken Scott used to record Elton John, David Bowie, and Supertramp. Other pianos featured in the library include a Steinway D Concert Grand; a Bösendorfer 290 Concert Grand; and a Yamaha C7. 

The QUANTUM LEAP PIANOS library is packed with 263 GB of content* at 24-bit/44.1k resolution, the largest and most detailed piano collection ever created.

Users can install one, two, three or all four pianos on their computer’s hard drive. Three microphone positions are included per piano for maximum flexibility. Ten to 16 velocities are offered per note (and again in soft pedal, sustain pedal, and soft sustain) and every piano offers 16 distinct staccato velocities.

** License only
When ordering "license only" just the serial number for activation will be delivered. Please order only if you have any access to the library content!

Repetition samples are taken from 180 BPM performances for a true repetition sound and are not simply an alternate take. The software detects true repetitions. Pedal resonance was recorded for every note at multiple velocities, as well as with the soft pedal down. Proprietary resonance was captured on the Bösendorfer. 

True multi-velocity soft pedal samples with and without sustain pedal are also included, as well as release samples with software envelope follower.
