Patchman Releases MegaPiano CD-ROM for Akai

PATCHMAN MUSIC has announced the release of the Studio Series MegaPiano CD ROM for Akai S5000/6000 samplers. The CD ROM features stereo Steinway grand piano samples with NO LOOPS. All samples decay naturally to silence. RELEASE samples are included for maximum realism. 48 banks range in size from 7 to 240 megs and feature up to 3 velocity levels.

This CD also includes full, loop-free multisample banks of the piano prepared in various ways including the piano muted with the finger, a plucked version, a very bright tack piano-like bank called Pencil, as well as bonus wipe effects where the strings were strummed with the fingers for a non-pitched effect. A variation called Bright is a responsive, dynamic mixture of the MegaPiano velocity layered with the Pencil bank. Bright is great for rock and heavier playing. For maximum flexibility, we have included both 44.1k and 22.05k versions of most banks. MegaPiano for Akai S5000/6000 is now shipping.

Special Introductory Price: $145 plus $5 shipping/handling. ($15 s/h for foreign orders). Format: CD ROM for use with Akai S5000/6000 samplers. Complete details, MP3 demos, and ordering instructions on their web site.
