JRRshop.com is giving away a copy of the New York L 1991 Lite Piano from Boz Digital Labs for free when you use the code “FreeBoz” at checkout.
We all know and love Steinway pianos. They are historically known for their lush and open sound which we’ve heard in all kinds of music, from classical legends like Sergei Rachmaninoff, to pop stars like Billy Joel.
Boz Digital Labs has 2 Steinway Model L piano plugins, and it is available in their New York L Bundle. The bundle includes the Lite versions of a 1926 and a 1991 model, each with its unique tone.
Their 1926 Lite model still seems to be free on the Boz Digital Labs website, and you can grab it right here.
However, today, we will talk about the 1991 Lite model, which JRRshop is currently giving away for free (originally $19).
New York L 1991 Lite version is a heavily condensed version of the Pro version of this plugin and only takes up a whopping 50MB of your hard drive.
That means significantly fewer samples, velocity layers, and round robins, but the sound is quite nice for such a small piano library.
You also get only one of the 5 mic positions provided in the Pro version.
However, there is still a decent amount of control you have over the sound stage, with the Lite version.
A custom velocity curve can be set up according to your MIDI keyboard, as well as tuning, transposition and even MIDI channel.
You can also tweak resonance (which seems to emulate room sound, and can sound quite washy on extreme settings) and the dynamics at which your MIDI input affects the velocity layers.
On top of these, the Lite version provides control over reverb, as well as an overall tone control, 3-band EQ, and stereo width.
Overall, I would say this is an impressive amount of control for such a small plugin that emulates a classic piano.
New York L 1991 Lite runs as a plugin on Windows and macOS, in formats VSTi, VST3i, AU, and AAX, and is Standalone on 64-bit machines.
