Product Overview

Its design includes a HUMAN layer that captures the tactile nuances of playing, alongside press and release noises from the sustain pedal, creating an authentic feel reminiscent of a real instrument.

Details

The library features 647 samples in.ncw format, organized into five mixable channels: the main piano sound, the HUMAN layer, sound-designed swells, granular textures, and a color layer derived from tuned crystal glasses. This allows for a rich palette of sounds, whether used individually or in combination. The instrument also includes effects such as cassette tape noises and wobble, adding a lo-fi character to the sound.

Additional controls enhance playability, including customizable attack settings, six reverb algorithms, and a delay section with options for normal and ping-pong modes. The arpeggiator adds rhythmic movement, while three built-in pedal effects—each with six types like EQ, compression, and saturation—offer further sonic shaping. The Cattaneo Electric Piano is designed to inspire creativity in both traditional and experimental music contexts.
