The "White Grand II" by SampleTekk is believed by many musicians and composers to be the finest contemporary studio rock/pop/jazz Grand Piano available. The "White Grand II" is heard on numerous recordings and is used on soundtracks from many movies and other media. While designing the "White Grand II" we chose to record two separate mic positions: close and medium ambience. Close miking was done with microphones placed close to the hammers/strings. for the second set of samples, we used two microphones in a position that's more normal for piano recordings and mixed that with the original microphones; this gave a bit more ambience and a slightly rounder tone but with all the characteristics that makes the "White Grand II" so Grand.
