Model 7 大钢琴的采样来自 Yamaha C7 大钢琴。我们最初的想法是采样 CFIII，但当我们去租赁处时，我们完全爱上了这架钢琴并选择了它。这架特殊的钢琴自 80 年代以来一直在都灵（意大利）的两个备受赞誉的音乐厅中使用，多年来一直由 Michel Petrucciani 和 Chick Corea 等艺术家演奏。这架钢琴由技术精湛的意大利技术人员不断维护。我们在中型大厅中采样了这架小而大的钢琴，周围环绕着各种各样的麦克风。

微距麦克风我们从一开始就不满足于一对麦克风或有限的麦克风选择，我们希望确保钢琴在采样和编辑过程后有最好的机会保留其灵魂，这是很难实现的。正因为如此，我们使用的麦克风比最终使用的要多得多。

model7_mic_3b.jpgmodel7_mic_4.jpgmodel7_mic_6.jpg麦克风的选择这些是我们在对编辑的样本进行多次演奏和聆听后精心挑选的麦克风：

20 – Efx Ch.PNG一对 Schoeps CMC6 搭配 MK4 心形拾音头，放置在演奏者的位置

一对 Royer 121 匹配麦克风，放置在打开的盖子内，但与音板保持适当的距离，以拾取直接声音和盖子的反射，这要归功于它们的 8 字形模式

一对改装的 Oktava MK-012 间隔匹配麦克风，放置在琴弦正上方

一对匹配的 Neumann M149 麦克风，用于从中距离拾取声音

这些麦克风，无论是单独使用还是组合使用，都可以为您提供顶级音乐会钢琴所需的最广泛的音色范围。为了保持音调平衡，我们甚至仔细地对所有麦克风进行了相位对齐。

The Model 7 grand piano was sampled from a Yamaha C7 grand coda piano. Our first idea was to sample a CFIII, but when we went to the rental-house we totally fell in love with this one and chose it. This particular piano has been in constant use since the ’80s in two highly praised concert halls in Torino (Italy) and has been played by artists like Michel Petrucciani and Chick Corea along the years. This piano is under constant maintenance by highly-skilled italian technicians. We sampled this little-big monster of a piano in a medium-size hall surrounded by a smorgasbord of microphones.

Macro-phonesWe didn’t settle for a single pair or a limited selection of microphones from the start, we wanted to make sure that the piano, after the sampling and editing process had the best chances to preserve its soul, something which can be hard to achieve. For this very reason, we used many more microphones than the ones we ended up with.

20 – Efx Ch.PNGa Schoeps CMC6 with MK4 cardiod capsules matched-pair placed at the player’s position

a Royer 121 matched-pair placed inside the open-lid but at a healthy distance from the soundboard to pickup both the direct sound and the reflections from the lid thanks to their figure-8 patterns

a modded Oktava MK-012 spaced matched-pair, placed right above the strings

a pair of matched Neumann M149 mics to pick up the sound from a medium distance

These microphones, by themselves or combined, give you the widest possible gamut of tonal colors you might need from a top-notch concert piano. To preserve tonal balance, we even carefully phase-aligned all of the microphones.
