EastWest Pianos Bechstein D-280 Platinum Edition

After two years of recording, editing, and programming, EastWest/Quantum Leap proudly present the most detailed virtual instrument of one of the world's finest grand pianos ever recorded in one of the 'temples of sound', EASTWEST STUDIOS (more RIAA certified platinum and gold records awarded than any other recording studios) with 3 mic positions.
This virtual instrument includes one of the world's finest grand pianos: the Bechstein D-280. The PLAY interface includes impulses from the same hall the producers used to record Symphonic Orchestra and Symphonic Choirs so the pianos can blend with those collections.
