Salamander Expression

About this bank

An expressive Yamaha C5 grand for testing soft, medium and strong strikes over a wide keyboard. Three true recorded velocity layers at eight roots keep attack and brightness responsive within the reader budget; tails are shortened. Samples by Alexander Holm, Salamander Grand Piano V3 (CC BY 3.0); curated and edited by Maru.
