Post Prepared Piano:
A pristine collection of Prepared Yamaha C3 studio samples, using 2 DPA (formerly
Bruel&Kjaer) series 4000 omni-directional microphones. Digital Recording,
after 24 bit A/D conversion, took place on Tascam DA45 24 bit DAT-master. Recordings
were edited in ProTools 4.3.1 on a PT|24 Mix card. A little Trueverb was applied,
along with some Focusrite F2 & F3 (EQ and Dynamics), and mastered to Hard
Disk in 16 bit Sound Designer II format with Waves UltraMax (L1) dithering and
noise shaping. The recordings were subsequently transferred into the AKAI S1100
with PEAK 2.

An unbelievable anthology of European Church Organ samples. Michiel Post
has traveled Europe to compose the most amazing collection of samples that we've
ever heard.

Cornets, Hobo, Clarinet, Dulciane to Voix Celestes. All with separate programs
for pedals. 29, mostly stereo, programs, total of 40 MB. Best suited for full
organ concerts. Using all programs in a piece or sequence takes 50 Mbytes of RAM.
MAX ORGAN: The Big BAVO ORGAN (Haarlem) andCONCERTGEBOUW ORGAN (AMSTERDAM)
12 programs with very long stereo samples, 30 key-zones multi-sampling. This is
a perfect set for recordings and true perfectionists. Every single program takes
at least 20 MB of RAM! These programs are extremely realistic and most impressive.

CONCERTGEBOUW ORGAN: The CONCERTGEBOUW in AMSTERDAM. This is a beautiful and
very useful collection of mono samples. 40 different programs require in total
only 20 MB of RAM! Perfect for modern music. The big organ of the famous Concertgebouw
in Amsterdam was sampled for a concert of modern composition VARESE (EQUATORIAL)
The Concertgebouw organ samples are over 22 MB. This collection is incredibly
versatile, but very difficult to describe, mostly with unique combinations of
low-range played 2' or 4' sound and high-range played 16' 32' etc. Very interesting
stuff. POST ITALIAN 8 basic, mono programs from a very fine Italian organ. If
you combine all of these programs in a multi-timbral set-up you have the most
impressive organ tutti ever heard from a box!
