New York L 1991: Clean Upright-Style Piano Plugin by Boz Digital Labs

Boz Digital Labs describes this piano as having a clean, even tone with a distinct attack. The instrument is a shorter grand, just under six feet long, which the developer says gives it a more intimate voice than a nine-foot concert grand while keeping the strings from sounding thin.

The developer notes that much of the piano music on popular recordings was made on smaller instruments in smaller rooms. This plugin is aimed at that kind of sound, where a clear, crisp piano needs to sit in a mix without dominating it.

The piano was sampled with five microphone perspectives, so you can choose the recording position that suits your track. The built-in 6-band EQ and reverb let you shape the tone and add space without loading separate effects.

Boz Digital Labs says the library was optimized to stay compact, so the sample set does not require the large hard drive space typical of full-size piano libraries.
