The all-new PATCHMAN MUSIC Studio
Series MegaPiano CD ROM for Unity DS-1 contains the ultimate,
NON-LOOPED Steinway® Grand Piano banks for Unity DS-1
users. The Studio Series MegaPiano
was designed to help you create professional sounding piano performances
and recordings on your PC or Mac. This studio-miked acoustic
grand piano was carefully sampled and programmed to be as playable
and realistic as possible.
Technical
Specs
The Studio Series MegaPiano
is comprised of stereo samples of a close-miked vintage Steinway®
grand piano. There are absolutely NO LOOPS anywhere on
this disc. Every sample on this CD ROM fades to silence naturally
and smoothly. The longest samples are 18 seconds long! Up to
3 velocity levels are featured with up to every other note sampled
throughout the entire range of the piano. The Unity envelopes
were not used thus preserving the natural decay and timbral decay
of this beautiful sounding piano. Because of this, the MegaPiano feels very comfortable
to play. There are no unnatural loops, no fake-sounding envelopes,
no abrupt sample transitions, and no sudden velocity switches
to remind you that you are playing a sampler. Instead, playing
the MegaPiano feels like
you are playing a real acoustic piano. Even the smallest MegaPiano bank features smooth transitions
between notes and throughout the velocity range. Now Mac owners
as well as PC owners can experience what the 'Giga' phenomenon
is all about. There is nothing like the totally natural sound
of piano samples that fade naturally into silence. After just
a few moments of playing the MegaPiano,
you will truly appreciate the difference.
You
Choose Your Ambience
The Studio Series MegaPiano
was sampled as dry as possible. We strongly believe that it sounds
far more natural to add ambience to a clean sample, than to hear
the ambience abruptly cut off when you release notes that were
sampled with ambience. The MegaPiano
is simply a clean studio quality recording of a Steinway®
grand piano that easily allows you to control the ambience via
outboard gear or plug-ins. Clean, dry samples gives you full
control over your sound.

"WHOA!!! impressive indeed... MAN does it sound good!
And it truly does sound better than GigaPiano - A/B the two MP3s
one after the other and Giga will actually sound horrible."
"Hi Matt -- I ordered the MegaPiano tonight. I listened
to as many on-line demos as I could (there were tons at that
Purgatory Creek site, where your 2nd 235mb demo seems to have
come from) and I must say, yours sounded the best to my ears.
Even more compelling (to me) than the Giga and the East West
Steinway for Giga. I play a Yamaha C7 at home and I NEVER thought
I'd hear a digital piano that really sounded like a piano, and
I am really thrilled with what I've heard from your site. Thanks."
"I've been researching digital pianos/samples for the
last couple of days. The demo that impressed me most was actually
MegaPiano for Unity from Patchman. I actually thought that this
was more realistic than the GigaSampler pianos."
"I recently ordered the MegaPiano for Unity from Patchman.
The largest sample is huge-235 mb and it sounds great! Subjective
though it may be, I think it's the best piano sample I've heard."
"I'm thrilled with the MegaPiano from Patchman."
