Hot on the heels of announcing the third iteration of its Maschine software, Native Instruments has unveiled Claire, a new virtual instrument for Kontakt 8 based on the sounds of a concert grand piano.
This isn't just any concert grand, though, but a "world-class" 10-foot Italian concert grand piano (the Fazioli F308) that NI describes as "the crown jewel" of pianos, delivering "immense power and harmonic richness", with its extended string length contributing to its deep bass and exceptional clarity of tone. (Hence the name: Claire is French for "clear".)
