The Modular Piano - Instruments

YouTube via zioaxiom — April 07, 2010 — "If sampling is like a photography, sound synthesis is like a painting. The Modular Piano is an oil portrait of a never existed piano; an illusion of reality, aware of the illusion.

The Modular Piano has an intimate sound, detached from the brightness of modern pianos, which makes it ideal for certain situations when the precision and detail of a grand piano are not the best deal. Techniques from the past and modern technology were used to reinvent the most complex of the stringed instruments, but with a conceptual difference. Due to its synthetic nature, you will not find a huge and multilayered instrument but a live one, made of thousand flavours, with its very own dynamics.

This library comes with three main instruments, two bonus instruments and two multis. The first one is The Modular Piano. As stated before, this is a very special piano as it was synthesized from scratch, note by note, and then imported into Kontakt to get more polyphony and use all the great features of this sampler. The Timbre Dynamics and String Tuning scripts will provide you with more ways to shape the tone of this instrument. Next youll find Ragama, a variation of our piano. An old, noisy, mechanical clavichord-like instrument, with an Asian taste. Try to play it slowly and as piano as you can. The third is Galvanic Corrosion, an epic distorted bowed-like piano. This is great for movie scoring, heavy layering and droning. As bonus, you will find two more instruments, a couple of great sounding pads, and two multis as example of combination possibilities of our sounds.

The Modular Piano is available as Native Instruments Kontakt 3.5 / 4 library. You can purchase the download for €29 ($39) on www.progsounds.com"
