Product Overview

Broken Upright Piano Samples features a uniquely out-of-tune upright piano that has not been played for over 90 years, capturing a distinct honky tonk character. This library is ideal for creating intimate, atmospheric soundscapes, particularly in genres like horror or any composition that benefits from an unconventional piano tone.

Details

The library includes over 11,000 samples, offering a wide range of articulations with up to 11 layers for dynamic variation. Four microphone perspectives—Player, Close, Room, and Hall—allow for flexibility in capturing the instrument's character, whether you prefer a dry sound or a more ambient presence. The samples include not only the piano notes but also performance details like lid sounds, finger noises, and wood knocks, enhancing the organic feel of the instrument.

TrueStaccato™ and TrueCrotchet™ features provide realistic articulations without processing, ensuring that the nuances of the performance are preserved. This attention to detail makes the Broken Upright Piano Samples a compelling choice for composers seeking a raw and expressive piano sound that stands apart from traditional libraries.
