Native Instruments Berlin Concert Grand v1.4.0 rollerball's Lite Version KONTAKT screenshot
AudioZ Exclusive | 31 Oct 2020 | KONTAKT | 493MB
This is a light version of the Native Instruments Berlin Concert Grand piano library. This instrument is based on a Bechstein D 280. It originally appeared in the Native Instruments Akoustik Piano software.

Despite its age, I think it's still quite useful as a lightweight piano library with a slightly unique tone. The samples in the original release were in 24-bit 44.1kHz WAV format. The samples were converted to 16-bit files. A null test with the original samples results in a peak of -87dB, which won't be audible by any means! The samples were converted to KONTAKT's proprietary NCW format, and then packed into NKX containers for convenience. The result is a reduction in size of around 82%, and space savings of 2.2GB!

NOTE: You may need to batch resave the patches and point them to the sample folder location. Kontakt v5.8.0 or higher is required.

I appreciate this, Rollerball. It was nice to be able to try out lite versions of these before cramming yet another huge (ish,) library on my poor, already-abused, PC.
This Berlin Grand is actually fairly nice (if a bit too clean, for my taste; I like some of the more raw pianos, like Imperfect Samples' Walnut Grand and Braunschweig, which are both kinda filthy....in a good way,) and, of the three currently up, I'll probably grab the full version of this.
Thanks again for your work on this.

No problem!

BTW NI has uploaded all of these on Google Drive, with installers in an ISO. If you'd prefer that, here's the link:

Do note that the samples in the original release are in WAV format and not their NCW format, so it takes up around 3GB.

quote by rollerballit takes up around 3GB.

Noted. Odd that they're not in .ncw form.
I'm going to keep the lite versions around, though, since they're really nice for trying ideas with different piano sounds, which lead to different playing styles, for me, anway. And, aside from being about a fraction the size of the original, the fact that they load fast is also great for grabbing ideas quickly.
