Montclarion Hall Grand Piano Library
Overview Experience the enchanting sound of the Montclarion Hall Grand Piano, a classic Steinway parlor grand from 1926, recorded in one of our premier recording halls. This expansive library, over 7 GB in size, features wide stereo recordings from three distinct microphone distances—close, mid, and far—allowing for customizable mixing and rich ambient flavor. Ideal for classical compositions, this versatile piano also excels in genres like soul, jazz, rock, and pop.
Unique Features Originally captured in a stunning A-framed hall above Oakland, CA, the Montclarion Hall Piano benefits from the space’s lush acoustics, enhancing the piano’s crisp and solid tone. This library goes beyond traditional piano sounds, incorporating an extensive selection of prepared piano effects, including percussive pounds, string scrapes, mallet glisses, and more.

Kontakt Format
This library is designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5.2 or later. Kontakt is an industry-standard advanced virtual instrument software platform. You can view screenshots of this library’s custom graphical user interface in the image gallery above. This library is packed with features to provide you a wide range of sound shaping parameter controls, each one totally automation-ready in your host environment or Kontakt’s stand-alone mode.

This is a standard Kontakt open-format library, so the free Kontakt Player does not fully support it and can only run it in a limited “demo mode”. However, the sample directories are unlocked so you can use them in other wav-compatible software, sampler and synth formats. The special Libraries tab doesn’t support this open-format Kontakt library, but you can use the standard File browser tab and import this library into the Kontakt Quickload window for easy loading and navigation.
