Details

The library includes over 140 raw sounds recorded in high-definition 24-bit/96kHz resolution. These sounds were created using various methods such as bowing, scraping, and striking the piano's strings and body, with the sustain pedal engaged for extended resonance. The recordings capture a wide range of textures, from bowed and hit strings to creaks and scrapes, allowing for diverse sound design possibilities.

Additionally, the library offers more than 110 pre-designed sounds, including harmonics and sub booms, alongside 60 Kontakt instruments and multis. The Kontakt interface enhances the usability of the audio material, providing features like tempo sync loops and arpeggiators, making it suitable for creating atonal, abstract, or semi-musical compositions. This instrument is particularly well-suited for film scoring, trailers, and experimental sound design.
