Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Concert D-274 (Resampling) v1.0.0 Kontakt screenshot
Dima22839 | 18 April 2025 | 154 GB
The Steinway & Sons D-274 is a prime example of "getting it right the first time." This beautifully hand-crafted flagship model from the world-renowned piano maker has remained largely unchanged since its development in the late 19th century, standing the test of time with its rich, massive, and ambient sound. Whether competing with orchestras or performing solo, the D-274 effortlessly commands attention with its tremendous sonic power and volume, thanks to its nearly two-square-meter (21.5 sq.ft.) soundboard. Esteemed artists across generations have gravitated towards the Steinway D, from Sergei Rachmaninoff, Vladimir Horowitz, Arthur Rubinstein, and Glenn Gould, to today’s leading pianists like Emanuel Ax, Hélène Grimaud, and Lang Lang. In the world of film scoring, composer Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones, Iron Man, Pacific Rim) is a devoted fan—of our very own digital version! Captured in the Hollywood-proven signature ambiance of Vienna Synchron Stage, it brings the legendary Steinway sound and versatility right into the heart of your studio.

what does resampling mean?
If you want to supply something, you can. PM is open for that.

VSL is selling 2 versions of this library: Standard (34 GB) and Full (76 GB).

Which one did you use for this Kontakt release?

Also, how come that your release is twice bigger than their full release?

"Audio: 44.1kHz/32 bit FP." - this was obviously not very well thought out beforehand if the goal was to shrink data footprint.

To answer some questions about what resampling is, and why these Kontakt libraries are bigger than expected:
Resampling means that someone recorded a bunch of notes from the vst, instead of emulating it or extracting the samples directly from it. That's the only way to convert these synchron libraries to Kontakt, unless conversion tools or at least a sample extractor for Synchron comes along, and I don't consider that likely.

As to why these resampled libraries are bigger? Two possible reasons. First, Kontakt's sample compression may not be as efficient as Synchron. The second reason, and the one I find most likely, is that the resampling effort probably went overboard. There's little to no way of telling what was originally sampled for the Synchron product. So, it's very possible that the Synchron library has only 10 sampled velocity layers, perhaps with clever transitions, while this Kontakt library has 32 layers. That's just one example of how resampling can make things huge.

For the record, I do not have any experience with either Synchron or these Kontakt recreations, and am not affiliated with any of them. I've just seen enough resampled libraries, particularly of keyboards, to know how this generally goes. I'll still check out these resampled libraries, but I wouldn't expect perfection.
Edit: fixed typos, improved clarity a little

"The MIDI-controlled system delivers over 100 velocities and various release samples, depending on the preceding note length and release speed."

Synchron Fazioli F308 Please if possible , it's the most important because it is unique , and there is few Fazioli sampling , unlike other who suffer from diarrhea of sampling and modeling

LOL I think he was saying that the "other" Fazi libraries are shitty.

On a serious note, somebody had to want that sound sooooo bad, because there's a shit ton of other options out there, and the work/time that was put in probably the paid-effort (of any job) to just buy it. I respect the "dedication" tho,

If it ain't loud? I don't wanna hear it!

Does this version have releases and pedal noise? I'm guessing not. Would rather wait until I know for sure before I download a 150 gb library lol
