K-Sounds Updates Volume 1 Library

The updated version of "K-Sounds Volume 1" is now available in Kurzweil K2x00 and Korg Triton formats. This sample library now features four stereo grand pianos and two FM electric pianos - more than double the content of the original version.

Acoustic pianos include a Kawai EX concert grand, a bright mid-sized Kawai grand, a Baldwin concert grand, and a velocity-switched Steinway D concert grand. Each is presented in stereo and has a full complement of effects treatments, including a KDFX-based emulation of sympathetic string resonance (Kurzweil format only). Dozens of piano patches are provided, including dynamic variations and complex layered sounds that allow sophisticated multi-sound performance within a single patch.

The FM electric piano portion presents the standard DX electric piano in eight discreet velocities. Another familiar DX electric piano is offered in a six-velocity configuration. As with the grand piano patches, special care has been taken to ensure that these are dynamic, highly playable sounds. Bonus samples and patches are included as well.

Both formats have been programmed from scratch to take advantage of each instrument's unique features.
