Product Overview

Ships Piano 3 is a hybrid piano library that combines the unique characteristics of a ships piano, a school grand, and a modified upright piano.

Details

The library features a total of 346 samples, recorded with a focus on capturing the nuances of each piano type. The ships piano includes 4 to 5 velocity layers, while the school grand is binaurally recorded in a stone-walled hall, providing a rich acoustic environment. The upright piano is uniquely processed, featuring reversed samples and high-end reverb for an intriguing sonic texture.

Each piano has individual controls for volume, sample start, pan, stereo width, attack curve, ADSR, vibrato, and reverb send, allowing for detailed sound shaping. The Satie-anator sequencer engine adds further creative potential with 12 user-programmable, key-triggered sequencers. Additionally, the library includes 37 instrument snapshots and custom convolution reverbs tailored for each piano, enhancing the overall versatility.

With its focus on character and unique sound design, Ships Piano 3 is well-suited for scoring intimate scenes, underscoring emotional moments, or adding a distinctive touch to contemporary compositions.
