Hold your horses!!!!!
Since you do not know how I work making these accusations is rather
much!!!

First of all, the piano was originally sampled with not 8 velocity
samples, but 16!!!! To do this, we have developed a digital recording
system that allows us to sample with this accuracy. I agree that doing
this by ear is impossible.
The velocity samples are true. That means that they have originally been
sampled at 16 different velocities. We have NOT, and I repeat NOT,
recorded less and then made more using any filtering or other method.
There are, originally 16 UNIQUE samples recorded pedal up, 16 UNIQUE
samples pedal down and 16 UNIQUE releasesamples.

SampleTekk's pianos are, to my knowledge alone in the market today of
having this many unique, true velocity samples. How other companies
solve this, I don't know, and that's up to them to answer for.

You say they we are selling some kind of scam!!!!
You should really try to learn more about how we work before you throw
something like this out in public!!!!
