A totally new sound
Discover a fresh approach to piano. Faithful piano samples with a soft, dark tone have been combined with a huge selection of processed multisamples. Choose from fragile, resynthesized, and deconstructed sounds, including field recordings, weird FM pianos, guitar-like feedback loops, and much more. Then layer any sample, use the Crosstalk feature to modulate individual layer volume over time, and shape the sound with six different macros. Crosstalk Piano will take you in new directions with a deep, atmospheric sound perfect for emotional compositions.
A 1974 piano known for its beautiful and melancholic sound has been masterfully restored using all original parts and carefully sampled.
A variety of techniques were used to create different piano sounds, including plucked strings, a custom felt moderator between the hammers, and gaffer tape on the strings.
Create different volume modulations over time, from soft and slow to quick rhythmic jumping.
All processed sounds were heavily treated using a range of vintage gear, including old tube compressors.
