The German Grand is perfect when you're looking for something that has vibe and more of a subtle almost dreamy character. It's very at home within soundtracks and pop songs where piano isn't the main focus, but where it still needs to feel and sound like a world-class piano. Using different microphone positions can make it cut through in a mix making it sound closer to both the American and Italian Grand Pianos.
Here is a quick list of the main features of True keys, you can find more details about it on the True Keys page.
Three phase-aligned microphone setups, plus a stereo mixdown.
Sample based sympathetic resonance and true pedal action.
realistic staccatos and release trails.
Full Una Corda (Soft pedal) sampling.
Sample based Half pedal.
I think I've checked out about all of them by now. I'd say my top 3 are: Imperfect Samples Steinway Kawai Ex Pro by Acoustik Samples VI Labs True Keys German (preferred over the American) But still I desire a good Steinway B. The 8dio, ezkeys, and IVY 162 just didn't cut it for me.
Interesting.. Imperfect Steinway and Truekeys German are great, but Kawai EX Pro is one of few libraries I regret buying. How do you find the tonal change at different velocities with Kawai EX Pro? I couldn't stand the full-on tone of it that almost sound the same at any velocities...
