This collection includes four of the world's finest grand pianos: a
Bechstein D-280, Steinway D, Bösendorfer 290, and Yamaha C7. The PLAY
interface includes impulses from the same hall the producers used to
record Symphonic Orchestra and Symphonic Choirs so the pianos can blend
with those collections.
Many users asked us for a lighter version of our
EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP PIANOS that will allow them to run the most
critically acclaimed pianos collection (see reviews) on slower
computers. EW/QL Pianos Gold
gives you that option, with only the player-perspective mic position
included. When you do have the hardware you need for the full version,
the upgrade costs only the difference in price.
