Vienna Symphonic Library samples a piano that was built in Berlin Kreuzberg at the beginning of the 20th century. An interesting detail about the recording process is the use of “robot fingers”. A specially developed robot system captures all velocities and nuances with superhuman precision and it’s all automated.
German Upright 1904 is available in two variants. The standard version consists of over 63,500 samples and requires 63.6 GB of hard disk space, while the full library contains over 127,000 samples and takes up 135.9 GB on the hard disk. Both versions are available at an introductory price.
Until July 18, the standard library costs EUR 125 euros (down from EUR 165) while the full library costs EUR 215 (down from EUR 290). The free Synchron Pianos Player is required for use.

This Kontakt instrument is the second part of the Mobilis series, which focuses on percussion sounds with “speed” and “power”. It sounds a bit more organic than its predecessor. The percussion was recorded on various instruments by artists José María Piedra and Horacio París and then enriched with additional found sounds. The dynamics and overall character are suitable for any sort of cinematic composition.
Mobiles II works with the full version of Kontakt 6.7.1 or newer. The 1GB library contains 728 sound files with a resolution of 24 bits and 48 kHz. All sounds are included as WAV files and can be used in other software and samplers. The price is USD 59.
