3 Instruments

  • Hammer

    Classic upright piano for general purposes to quickly get ideas out of your head and easily tell your stories.

  • Felt

    Felted upright for a more fragile and pure sound with lots of character.

  • Texture

    From lush analog pads or tape loops to experimental pianos, these patches are beautiful behind any of your compositions.

Carefully recorded in an empty house in the middle of the night, this lovely Pleyel upright piano were captured using a pair of Neumann KM184 microphones placed at ears height for a nice stereo imaging. While Hammer has the microphones placed at the player level, Felt has them as near as possible to the hammers so you can get all the mechanism sounds, imperfections and felt sweetness giving you the feeling of being inside the piano.

With 4 dynamic layers, release triggers, pedal and room noise, get a nice playability and the authenticity of a real recording.

Texture patches

Layer these pianos with one of the 24 beautiful experimental patches from the Texture instrument.
While some of them are simply Hammer or Felt samples mangled and played thru various machines for unique patches, other are new recordings of the piano played in less conventional ways such as hitting, tickling or muting the strings.

Simple and intuitive GUI

With only 12 knobs and one page to play with on the interface, this library will never stand on your way making it a perfect companion to your composition tools.
Whether you’re starting in music and don’t know a lot yet or you are a professional in search of immediacy, the minimalist and simple interfaces will help you create your own sounds quickly and get ideas very easily.
