Product Overview

Gran Coda is a sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt that offers you a stunning detailed experience of a real Concert Piano. Sampled from a real Steinway & Sons concert piano, immediately after an accurate tuning operation. The sound is extremely clear, dynamic and realistic, thanks to the sampling of all the sound details with very hi-sense microphones.

Please ensure you have the full version of kontakt to run this library. Do not buy if you intend to use the free kontakt player version.

Piano from my shool

I remember the sound of a piano from my music school. Gran Coda sounds the same. I have a huge sentiment. It's lightweight, natural. I often use Gran Coda.

Nice Piano Sound

A very nice and inspiring piano sound for a relatively small footprint.

A Great Grand Piano Library

Hephaestus Sounds always makes us nice surprises, whether are these its free titles or its affordable and great sounding commercial libraries. Gran Coda, based on a Steinway grand piano, is surely the best inexpensive piano library for Kontakt, judged upon its content, quality of the sound and playability. It has all necessary patches for a budget virtual piano library - a concert grand, a studio grand, a rock and a pop grand, an upright and a saloon piano and even a harpsichord. The sound is clear, convincing, a bit feeble in lower register, but sharp and dry and utilizable for any kind of professional musical production. Included controls are good. The bottom line would be a very realistically sounding grand/upright piano library, with high playability and for a fraction of the price other libraries of similar quality have. Bravo once again for Hephaestus.
