Adam Monroe's Austrian Grand is a meticulously crafted grand piano sample library designed for VST, AU, AAX, and Kontakt platforms. It captures the unique character of a 100-year-old Bruder Mikula Wien grand piano using a stereo pair of high-quality ribbon microphones, delivering a rich and authentic piano experience. The library bridges the gap between bright and mellow piano sounds, offering a semi-bright yet warm and aged tone that stands out in any musical context.

This piano library features a detailed sampling approach with 10 velocity layers and 2 round-robin variations per note, encompassing over 4 gigabytes of sampled data to ensure dynamic and expressive performances. The inclusion of subtle key noise enhances realism without overpowering the sound. Users can easily shape the instrument's tone with adjustable reverb and toggle switches for frequency cuts, providing flexible control over the sonic character and allowing for seamless integration into various mixes.

Optimized for performance, the VST version employs multi-threaded double buffering and efficient data handling with fast C-style arrays, ensuring smooth operation even on older computers or setups with low latency requirements. The library supports multiple sample rates including 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz through advanced interpolation, making it suitable for a wide range of production environments and audio quality preferences.
