Upright Piano KW
Version 2022-02-21
Created from a Kawai upright piano located in a living room. Thanks to Inma Martínez de Miguel for kindly letting us access to her home to play and record the piano, and Claudia Marín Martínez for her support the recording day.
It was recorded by Gonzalo <humanogonzalo@gmail.com> and Roberto <roberto@zenvoid.org> on January 2017, using a Zoom H1 portable recorder mounted on a tripod in front of the piano, approximately at the place where the head of a piano player would be. The raw recordings were cropped, edited, and processed by Roberto, using free software programs. Bass notes contain loops.

YDP Grand Piano
Version 2016-08-04
Built from the Zenph Studios Yamaha Disklavier Pro Piano Multisamples for OLPC. The soundfont and modifications to the original sound samples are produced by roberto@zenvoid.org for the FreePats project.
Samples from the OLPC sound sample library have been donated to Dr. Richard Boulanger @ cSounds.com specifically to support the OLPC developers, students, XO users, and computer and electronic musicians everywhere.
The Disklavier Pro has an internal electronically-controlled mechanism that allows it to play sounds with very precise specifications. The original sound samples were performed by computer and specifically recorded for OLPC by Dr. Mikhail Krishtal, Director of Music Research and Production, and his team at Zenph Studios. They are included in the OLPC sound sample library.
