Details

The library was recorded dry at Spitfire Studios, utilising soft felt between the hammers and strings to achieve a muted yet expressive tone. It includes three distinct mic signals: condenser for a full and present sound, ribbon for warmth, and hammers for added depth. With ten presets available, users can easily switch between dry, close captures and more reverberant, pad-like textures.

Performance controls include ADSR settings and sustain pedal level adjustments, allowing for nuanced expression. The dedicated plugin simplifies the workflow, making it easy to integrate into various DAWs. This instrument is particularly effective for creating intimate, reflective pieces or adding a unique character to larger compositions.
