2 upright pianos
A lovely Pleyel upright piano that was sampled using a pair of small condenser microphones placed at ears height for a nice stereo imaging.
While the Hammer patch has the microphones placed at the player level, Felt has them as near as possible to the hammers in order to get all the mechanism sounds, imperfections and felt sweetness giving you the feeling of being inside the piano. -
Textural patches
Layer the piano with one of the 24 beautifully crafted experimental patches from the Texture instrument.
While some of these patches are simply the upright piano 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.
