It was only natural for the Steinway B - one of the most recorded pianos in history - to serve as the foundation for the largest piano library we have ever created. Its expressive, rich and realistic character, in combination with the depth of sampling we allowed ourselves this time, translate directly into versatility of use.
Look under the hood with us, and see for yourselves what close to 26 000 individual samples are capable of!

Feature Overview
NO NATIVE ACCESS SERIAL NUMBERS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PRODUCT!
Velvet Grand was recorded in Sofia Session Studio A with multiple microphones which later we summed up to 5 microphone positions - Close, Tube, Ribbon, Decca, Hall. The different combinations of those microphones can really change the character and sound of the piano, especially the different combinations between the Close, Tube and Ribbon mics, all of which were within close distance to the actual grand piano. In order to achieve a high level of detail, we've sampled the piano in 7 dynamics, all of them with 5 round robins. The same way we have also sampled the sound of the sustain pedal.
DEEPLY SAMPLED
With more than 25.000 samples, "Velvet Grand" features a Grand Piano Steinway B - one of the most recorded pianos in history. The entire library was recorded with and without sustain-pedal. Everything with 7 dynamic layers and 5 round-robins for each!
SONIC CONTROLS
The library features has mix perspective control from intimate to symphonic with its 5 microphone positions, all with unique characters - Close, Tube, Ribbon, Decca, Hall. Also inside you will find 6 handcrafted presets for different genres of music.
QUICK CONTROLS
The UI gives you quick control options that will make your workflow faster - two switchable release lengths for easy blend into mixes, Stereo Width Control over the mic positions, reverb controls and adjustable pedal volume.

FAQ
Can I use your libraries with the Kontakt Player?
As not all of our products come with unique serial numbers which you are to insert into Native Access, please pay close attention to the products' "Requirements" sections - they can tell you if you can power a certain library through the free Kontakt Player, or if you need to purchase the retail version of Kontakt in order to use the library to its fullest potential (for instance - Architecture of Sound is meant only for the full Kontakt v5.7.1 or higher, while Storm Choir Ultimate can be powered through v5.7.1 or higher for both the full / paid Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player).
Are there payment options other than PayPal at your store?
True, PayPal is our primary processor. But so that people don't feel pressed to use their services if they don't want to, we also accept money orders through Wise (formerly known as TransferWise) and regular bank wire transfers. Just leave your order open and reach out to our support team, please.
I bought one (or more) of your libraries through Native Instruments. Can I have it/them added to my account on your site?
Yes, indeed, please do! That way (assuming you're using different emails for our site and NI's) you'd get higher crossgrade rates to other libraries of ours'. Reach out to our support, and include the invoice you were issued and/or your serial number(s).
Do you offer educational discounts?
Yes, we do! We offer a total of 30% off all single products' full retail prices and, again, a total of 35% off all bundles (Counting the existing discount rates! For example, our CHOIR COLLECTION isn't subject to EDU pricing, as its discount is higher than 35%) . We only request that you provide us with a scanned image of your student / faculty / staff ID and a recently dated document proving that you are currently studying or that you are a faculty/staff member, and send it to support@strezov-sampling.com . And, of course - to save some time, include the product(s) you're interested in and are ready to purchase. Please note that the educational discount is not "stackable" with other offers we might be having at a certain point. And yes, a library's intro pricing is considered a promotional offer, so the same rule applies :)
I completed my order, but didn't receive any download links?
In the new version of our site, all our existing clients have profiles of their own, containing orders, download links for libraries and updates, personal / company information for invoicing, crossgrade options and gift cards. Try yours - we believe you will enjoy having everything in one place! :)
How do I add your libraries to my Native Access profile?
If you haven't received a Native Access serial number with one of the confirmation emails we are sending out, then the library you have purchased is to be treated as "third party" - we can't provide serial numbers for those and so the products aren't visible in the standard "library view" of Kontakt. We can still offer you a workaround for the Strezov Sampling libraries you are using.
Is there a specific OS version I must have in order to power any of your libraries?
Our libraries don't work in standalone mode without Native Instruments Kontakt, so you only need to pay attention to the required Kontakt / Kontakt Player version. If you can open Kontakt's respective version with your current OS, then you can be sure the library will work, as well.
