Cinesamples Piano in Blue v2.3b rollerball's Lite Version KONTAKT screenshot
AudioZ Exclusive | 23 Oct 2020 | KONTAKT | 2.85 GB
This is a light version of the Cinesamples Piano in Blue library. Despite a few bugs, this library has a lovely, warm sound that is unique to it.

I removed the Tape samples from this release, because I found myself going mostly for the Direct samples, as quite a few Tape samples are distorted and have weird issues with panning. Also, I found that the Surround mic channel didn't add too much to the sound, so I removed those samples as well. The result is more than 70% reduction in size, and space saving of about 7.2GB!

All the other functions of the library have been retained. Of course, switching on Tape mode or the Surround mic loads no samples. Also, the samples have been packed in .nkx containers to allow easier transfer. A custom .nicnt file has been included as well. Wallpaper modified from the original created by the user cdk on the "sibling site".

NOTE: You may need to batch resave the patches and point them to the sample folder location. Kontakt 6.1.1 or higher is required.

Sounds good. Great job.

I'll play it later and check for samples latency, which is an issue i face with all Cinesamples pianos. In case you're wondering what i'm talking about, it's a very annoying tiny bit of latency in the samples when i hit a key, makes the piano almost unplayable for me. Hard to explain really.

But sound wise, you did a great job!

Thank you! Glad to help.
I get what you're saying. I have no problems with it, but I just started learning to play a few weeks ago, and everybody's latency threshold is different.

If I remember correctly, in the walkthrough video they said that the actual sound of the attack of the piano in the sample starts a bit later in order to capture the hammer mechanism noises that add some more realism to the sound.
There is a sample start knob in the interface. I think adjusting that should help.

As already said, theres a button/knob for that. Called "SAMPLE START".

You can't have everything; where would you put it?

Fabulous. Thank you rollerbal! Those samples are completely unnecessary, indeed. Unless one needs them, of course. :)

Many thanks for this, but I wanna know what the three patches mean.

The three patches are similar, but they have some optimisations and fixes in the newer versions. Cinesamples provided them so that older projects using the older versions would run without any errors

This was the changelog for the v2.3b update:
What's new in Piano in Blue 2.3?
• Fixes for distorted tape samples
• Fixes for image shift issues


If you just got this, just use the Piano in Blue Lite v2_3.nki patch and don't worry about the others.

Thanks for your reply roller, the 2_3 sounded a little better to my ears the first time I played.
