Steinway D Platinum

A detailed sampled Steinway D American Concert Grand

After two years of recording, editing, and programming, EastWest/Quantum Leap proudly present the most detailed collection of the world’s finest grand pianos ever recorded in one of the ‘temples of sound’, EASTWEST STUDIOS (more RIAA certified platinum and gold records awarded than any other recording studios) with 3 mic positions for each piano.

EastWest/Quantum Leap Pianos Gold Edition, which provides only the player’s perspective mics and 16-bit samples, is available for users with less powerful systems. A low-cost upgrade path is available for users of the Gold Edition who wish to move up to the Full Edition.

A 9-foot, American Concert Grand. We went through 12 Steinway D’s before finding this gem. This is probably the most balanced universal piano in the collection. The dynamic range is huge, from a whisper to thunder. The Platinum Edition allows users to purchase a single license for one Piano from the East West QL Pianos.

The Eastwest Steinway D Platinum samples the sound from one of the most iconic pianos recording history. The Steinway D grows into a space larger than life, capturing the full sound of a concert hall. It is great performing soft passages but will excel when playing broad, virtuosic passages. Suited to composers and performers alike – this is a brilliant way to bring one of the best pianos in the world into your studio. And the sound quality is guaranteed – with East West using the best sampling technology to capture all the nuances of this breathtaking instrument.
