The Gigfiles Steinway C series reach the v3. I've re-sampled the piano, using a new and better setup. An hard work has been done in programming - including a specific software for recording, cutting sounds that has been specifically developed. The concept of this new Gigfiles Steinway is to have 2 basic setups (one for cool and one for punchy songs) and 2 different reverb piano (one done in a small room one in a large theater). This concept give new horizon and you can now mix them together with any sampler to create an unlimited number of variations, from classical stage, to even hip-hop, new age, pop or rock styles, whatever it will be used for! These piano are 4 velocity levels and are sampled almost every notes between 10 up to 20 seconds each! It represents months of work!

Note a new piano called Hybrid Piano has been made with the Peyel and Steinway piano. More info can be found here.

28-07-2004 New : Steinway C v3 released. This time the piano has been TOTALLY RE-RECORDED! This is a new concept, with 4 pianos in one made to be mixed together. One sampled very close and very punchy, one basic and regular, one with a small room reverb, one with a real theater ambiance. By mixing these  together you can emulate any space.
