Do you have to download the whole instrument with samples again, or am I missing something?

 

[Andrew Aversa]

Have you visited your account area? You should see an "Updates" section with a link to just the data files, along with instructions.

Yeah, I don't see anything about updates anywhere. There isn't an "Updates" section for me... Nothing under the "my downloads" area except the option to re-download the entire instrument. I'll try clearing out my browser cache to see if something different comes up.

Pearl Concert Grand v2.0 - Coming Soon!

PEARL Concert Grand is our flagship piano virtual instrument. Since 2015, the silky sound of a Yamaha C7 recorded in a hall with 4 mic positions has been enjoyed by thousands of composers, and now we are preparing the release of v2.0.

We completely re-scripted the engine from the ground up, and you can enjoy the following features when it launches:

• Refined new UI based on the color and style of the original
• Per-key ADSR, Vel -> Volume, Vel -> Brightness, Velocity Curve, and Microtuning controls
• Support for continuous pedal values
• Much more accurate repedaling behavior
• Reduced noise buildup
• NKS support

This update will be available FREE for all owners, and you will be able to use it alongside your existing PEARL installation!

Very glad about all this! Especially the microtuning!

 

[Fleer]

Quickly becoming my favorite Yamaha C7.

 

[MusicIstheBest]

I'm sold. One question though: how does Pearl Grand process short/staccato articulations?

 

[EvilDragon]

In short (pun intended), it doesn't. There are no individual staccato samples.

 

[CGR]

Great update! The GUI is much more intuitive, and the piano definitely plays better (after A/B ing it with version 1.3.7). Thanks for continuing to improve what was already one of my favorite sampled pianos.

Noise reduction

 

[EvilDragon]

Actually samples weren't re-processed compared to version 1. Just some instrument tweaks in order to reduce buildups.

 

[good]

Whatever the technology or process is for noise reduction, I would like to applaud the result for itself that reduce noise which was a disadvantage of v1.

When becoming a new customer does the pearl piano download as version 2.0 , or do you have to download the older version and add the update ?
