Columbia Records’ historic Steinway D Concert Grand piano
//
Cinesamples Piano In Blue captures the historic sound of the very same Steinway D Concert Grand Piano recorded at Columbia Records for Miles Davis’ “Kind Of Blue,” and Glenn Gould’s “Goldberg Variations.”
Experience a beautifully playable grand piano, now encoded for the free Native Instruments Kontakt Player 6.6.1 and Komplete Kontrol.
With a mind to the handful of historic pictures from the recording from Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue,” Cinesamples engineer set up three sets of microphones. The first pair – the M49’s from the old Columbia setup, with the same placement (using stereo placement rather than mono), and with the two other pairs each set successively farther back.
He recorded two signal chains for each mic, a clean signal going through the Neve console and one going through a historic tape machine and finally into Pro Tools. Cinesamples highly suggest exploring the charming colorization of the tape signal but both are provided for your convenience. Note that the Tape samples do have a higher-gain sound, and they include a Noise knob so you can control the baseline level of tape hiss to help prevent samples going to complete silence.
The piano was sampled chromatically — one key at a time — exposing delightful variances in timbre with each key. This was the only way to get a true representation of the instrument. The piano was meticulously sampled by hand, with careful consideration for what works best with a sampled piano, all throughout the recording session itself and at every stage of production thereafter.
Cinesamples sincerely hope you enjoy this piano as much as they do.
