Modular Piano - Acoustic piano simulation by subtractive synthesis


YouTube via zioaxiom
"While programming my first library I ran into the need to have an acoustic piano sound. Since I don't have a real piano to sample, I decided to synthesize it from scratch using "traditional" subtractive synthesis technique. This is my first good result and has been achived only by using basic oscillators, filters and so on. The only downside is the limited polyphony due to heavy CPU usage so I sampled almost every key and mapped them into a sampler in order to make this sound more usable.

  4. Believe it or not, is just what i'm saying ;) Plain subtractive synthesis. Unfortunately this time I will not release the ensemble for two main reasons:

    1) This reaktor ens is a CPU hog and due to this, polyphony is very low for an instrument like that.

    2) This is an hard work (took some months of unslept nights) i'm doing for my first commercial library release.

    Hope you can understand and continue to appreciate my work :)

    Cheers,
    Luca
