Question regarding Mattias Eklund’s 1891 Bösendorfer grand piano

[ToneDeF]

I have a question regarding Mattias’s 1891 Bösendorfer grand piano which was featured in the two Cinematic EKX expansions: Cinematic Grand EKX and Cinematic Pads.  I would love to hear that grand piano in the traditionally played style (not prepared, plucked, bowed, reversed, etc.).

How do I achieve that with the current Cinematic EKX expansions?

If it is not currently possible, could a new preset for it be added in an update for either or both Cinematic EKX expansions?

If that is not possible either, then how about sampling the Bösendorfer grand piano again for a new EKX expansion preferably with natural samples that cover its full and impressive 92/97 key range?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I don’t think you can achieve that with the current Cinematic EKX expansions. But with the EZKeys Session Grand, you get very close to a Bösendorfer. I have Steinberg, The Grand 3, which has a Bösendorfer 290 and sounds almost alike.
