Presenting our tenth official add-on for the Sequential Prophet X and XL analog hardware synthesizer, we welcome you to the world of the 1969 Piano.

The 1969 Piano (Model D) Concert Grand Piano marks one of the most exquisite piano lines in existence. The tone is rich and full, yet bright and airy. Its character—sublime. This piano creates an unabashedly timeless sound that will transform and adapt to any type of music.

We decided to sample a model specifically from 1969 since that era lent itself to some of the most iconic creations in piano engineering. Over time, the soundboard of our piano settled and opened up, creating resonations so soulful that we no choice but to capture them.

To ensure that we recorded it faithfully, we used six different microphone perspectives (Overhead, Keyboard/Player, Dampers, Spot, Ambient, and Room). This will allow you to dial in the sound and perspective you need—whether it's the full range of overheads,  the slightly softened mics on the dampers, or the room perspective with the keyboard/player mixed in for a wide and open sound.

It's a powerful add-on for the Sequential Prophet X and XL, through and through.

Anthology Strings is a deep-sampled music software instrument from 8Dio Productions. 

More information: https://8dio.com/instrument/anthology-vst-au-aax-samples-kontakt-instrument/

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Anthology Strings was crafted by Academy Award, TEC and G.A.N.G Award Winning Composer and Producer, Troels Folmann and Emmy-Nominated Composer and Orchestrator, Colin O’Malley. Anthology is the true reimagination of our original Adagio and Agitato String collections – hand-designed with our favorite 66.500 samples from both collections.

Anthology contains both Ensemble, Divisi and Solo String sections for both Violin(s), Viola(s), Cello(s) and Basse(s). All recorded exclusively with grand Neumann microphones – inside a rare church recording environment. The three sensible microphone positions (Close, Mixed, Far) offers you full mastery over the sound. We developed custom techniques for the close microphones – allowing them to record much closer and intimate than your common church scoring environments. No samples overwhelmed in reverb. Instead a touching and passionate collection of strings. All designed to capture your most beautiful thoughts.

The beating heart of Anthology Strings is its playability, emotion and ease-of-use. A compendium of all principal articulations needed for advanced orchestration – and equally built for fast and expressive string writing. The custom smart browser offers you access to everything. A single click gives access to all articulations. A few clicks and you’ve designed your personal matrix of articulations.

Anthology Strings is symmetry. All String Sections have identical articulations and that goes for all Ensemble, Divisi and Solo Strings in the library. But most importantly Anthology is for you. The composer. The producer. The orchestrator. The person that wants the most expressive virtual strings ever created within a fingers touch.

The person that want complete playability, effortless expression and true emotion in the sound. This library is for you and only you.
