RE: [EXS] White Grand gets reviewed in SOS

Hi, did you only record to get it "bold" and "assertive"? Or are there
more mic-ing positions used that render a more mellow, introvert,
ambient sound, usable for classical pieces? 
It seems you did a great job in getting the dynamics right. I would be
interested in a Black Grand ;-) I need it for film scoring amongst
others. A lot of the larger libraries are rather unconvincing due to
problems in the dynamic range (pp, p and mp playing) and timbre,
especially in mid frequencies, where the human ear is very unforgiving.
And do we really need 16 velocities per note in the lows and highs, I'm
asking in a pseudo rhetoric way? The less samples, the less problems... 

Cheers,
