Vienna Symphonic Library has released a new piano instrument - Yamaha CFX. This is what they have to say about it...

For the first time, this beautiful Yamaha CFX concert grand was captured with multiple high-end microphone arrays at our refurbished recording facility Synchron Stage Vienna, which is characterized by its particularly warm, pristine and natural ambience. With up to 4,200 samples per key, this new Synchron Series instrument offers 100% timbral authenticity, liveliness and a hyper-realistic playing feel.

What’s more, the instrument comes with an all-new, high-performance Synchron Pianos playback software, incorporating our proprietary “Advanced Release Sample Technology” that automatically matches up to 300 individual and finely grained release samples per key to your played notes. The new player’s mixing window lets you easily create your own sound and ambience, but you can also call-up pre-configured and expertly-made presets (Concert, Intimate, Player, Pop, Ambience, Mighty).
