For decades, the Yamaha C7 grand piano has been a mainstay of top recording studios, appearing on countless recordings and giving a host of artists their signature sound. With K-Sounds Signature Piano, the C7 becomes your signature sound. Offering pristine stereo samples throughout the dynamic range and a slightly ambient studio sound with plenty of sustain, this piano is designed to inspire from the first note.

Instrument:
Motif ES6 / ES7 / ES8. The Motif XS / XF can load the samples from this product in conjuction with the voice upgrade for Motif XS. Signature Piano is not compatible with the Motif-Rack ES, S90 ES, or any of the original Motif series.

RAM Requirements:
Minimum 128Mb for small bank. 512Mb required for large bank.

Media Requirements
Compatible USB storage device (with computer). Smart media may be used to load the small bank.
 

Signature Piano offers two sample banks, both fully programmed in a variety of voices and performances: The large 495Mb bank provides up to eight velocity layers in a single piano sound - double what is typically available for traditional workstation keyboards. True-sampled damper resonance adds a lush quality to sustained notes, and release resonance and hammer noise samples add to the realism of staccato notes. A 113Mb bank is also provided for quick loading and easy storage on a smart media card. Impressive in its own right, it features 4 sampled velocities plus damper resonance!

Signature Piano offers a unique implementation of damper resonance: Real sampled resonance is provided - far surpassing mere digital effects or convolution. And because the resonance is presented as an independent component of the instrument, its volume may be adjusted, and it can be disabled entirely.

At K-Sounds, we believe the most important requirement of a virtual piano is that it be refreshingly playable. That’s why Signature Piano was played constantly during its development process. The result is far greater than just a collection of samples. We believe it is one of the most musical and playable sampled pianos available.
