1. This is a light version of the Native Instruments The Maverick piano library. The instrument is based on a vintage Bechstein Model A Grand Piano. This library has a lovely tone and sounds great in the softer layers. Although not the most versatile library, it still would fare fine in a more upfront context. But its true strength lies in the softer layers. It sounds very intimate and does a great job in Cinematic tracks. If you're looking for some character, this library would be great choice!
  2. The samples in the original release were in 24-bit 48kHz format. The samples were converted to 16-bit 44.1kHz and repacked into NKX containers. A null test results in a peak of -87dB, which won't be audible at all. Also, after quite some testing, no issues were found with noise floor build-up when playing lots of notes. The conversion process takes the size down to 1.49GB from the original 4.5GB, which is a 65% reduction!
