The recorded piano was equipped with an advanced computer operated
playback mechanism that was designed by mathematician, scientist and
inventor Wayne Stahnke. The mechanism actually operates the piano
keys and pedals with over 1.000 steps accuracy for inverse hammer
velocity. The Stancke computer system enabled Amsterdam based sample
library producer Michiel Post to capture each velocity layer for this
library with absolute velocity levels. These levels guarantee a
totally even response across the whole keyboard for all velocities.
The programming of this piano is designed to take full advantage of
the possibilities of the new GigaStudio 3 software. This results in
more programmed velocity layers. The Emperor has 24 recordings for
each key. These recordings were further divided in 64 velocity
groups, each a slight variation of the underlying velocity layer
sample. These libraries use a new programming to create the sustain
pedal effect. Traditionally, conventional piano libraries use the
sustain pedal as an ON-OFF switch, which has to be pressed before a
note is played. These libraries lacked the possibility to re-pedal as
in a real concert grand piano. Now this barrier has been broken. The
PMI EMPEROR & OLD LADY libraries allow the user to press the sustain
pedal at any time while playing notes or chords to start the
sympathic resonance of the non-struck strings.
