The Basilica Pianos
Will work in most DAWs and notation software, using Plogue's sforzando!
Described as a "hidden gem", The Basilica Pianos is a high quality, but affordable sample library, that features both a grand piano and an upright piano, recorded in the same space and sampled by hand, using a stereo microphone setup. Also included are various effects, from strumming and plucking the strings of the grand piano, to a playable range of palm-muted samples from the upright piano. Each piano is available by itself, minus effects.

- A 7ft semi-concert grand piano and an upright studio piano, both recorded in a large church from a close perspective, with the same 2 large diaphragm studio condenser microphones.
- Full length samples
- Unique samples set with sustain pedal up and down (with natural sympathetic response)
