Sampleson tells us that they have been working on a new release, MetaPiano, to compete in the small Modeled Piano market. A spokesperson told us, "Now, after 15 years of only two players, there is a third one: we just launched MetaPiano. The first Spectral Modeled Grand Piano that weighs only 60 Mb and sounds like a 30 Gb plugin. It was built upon real sound captures from a Japanese Concert Grand Piano and meticulously rebuilt by math algorithms. It's so realistic you won't believe is not the real instrument."
