REQ: Embertone Walker 1955 Concert D Update v1.1
According to the author's website they've released an update that adds new functionality and fixes several issues.
New Features
Half Pedaling
You can now perform incremental dampening using a compatible pedal OR editing MIDI. This means you can partially "blur" tones and create more subtle phrasing… the pedal is no longer simply OFF and ON.
Silent Key Strikes
Enables non-hammered silent notes on the lowest velocity
Sustain-Damper Sympathetic Resonance
A new sympathetic resonance engine to model the behavior of notes vibrating during the release of dampers on held notes, for realistically transitioning between Dry+Sustain articulations. 3 modes for selecting the quality of this feature are located within the Details page and share association with the Half-Pedaling engine.
Updates
Legacy Patches
Included Legacy patches for users with Kontakt 5.3.1+
DFD Adjustments
We modified the way samples are streamed from memory/disk, and also increased the voice count significantly. We removed the animation to aid in performance as well
NKS
All Snapshots have been updated to reflect the new half pedaling features
BUG FIX HIGHLIGHTS
Performance
– Smoothed out velocities for better consistency (especially the lowest layers)
– Fixed a pedaling issue caused by simultaneous note/pedal activation
Misc.
– Fixed various bad samples.
– Fixed Reverb preset buttons from not working.
– Fixed a graphical bug that caused label bg's to display incorrectly.
Multis
The Multis were not functioning in certain scenarios. They are now fully operational!

I like the overall sound and the Lite version of this library is also pretty cheap at $39. But I've noticed a few bad samples (i.e. B above middle C) which prevents me from using or buying it. The samples sound different than the rest. So maybe anybody has downloaded their update and is willing to share.
