DESIGNED TO INSPIRE
The Handcrafted Piano is a complete toolkit that includes a modern felt piano and a synth of 120+ presets entirely created of the original piano recordings. It's a boutique, high-end instrument with unheard expressivity and sonic detail.
With seamless control over five layers of felt, the tone can be shaped from an open warm timbre to a raw and percussive sound. Every single key has up to 100+ layers and all velocity transitions were manually fine-tuned.
Even a single note can inspire to create timeless music, from intimate cues to wide cinematic scores.
“I've been using the Handcrafted Piano quite a lot on the new film I'm working on. Usually, I record everything on my piano in my studio, but I'm finding your library really helpful to get started on ideas!”
– Dustin O'Halloran, Academy Award Nominee (Lion, Bridget Jones)

MAKE YOUR MUSIC STAND OUT
The Handcrafted Piano is designed with multi-dimensional flexibility to control both the space and the timbre of the instrument.
With three analogue-processed microphone positions (Neumann M49, Coles 4038, Neumann M62) and two pre-rendered outboard reverbs (Lexicon 960, Bricasti M7, Quantec Yard Stick), the interface gives you the possibility to place the instrument with extreme precision within your space. In a similar fashion, the bottom slider changes the amount of felt seamlessly, from the bright and warm default setting up to a percussive and muted sound. Additionally, a selection of ten mix presets tailored for different moods and contexts is included.
The instrument was mixed on the same Cadac console on which Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was processed in 1975.
