CLAIRE is based on a 10' italian grand piano with a clear and harmonically rich character, that features a powerful bass due to its string length. We chose to record this exceptional instrument in the outstanding Galaxy Hall at Galaxy Studios in Mol, Belgium. For the first time in our piano lineup, there is a blend control, which seemlessly mixes between the close- and room-microphones. It also features an improved and extended version of the Particles engine, first introduced with NOIRE.
Alicia’s Electric Keys is based on Alicia Keys unique electro-acoustic piano, featured on her songs, most notably "Girl on Fire" and a great source of inspiration. It was created in collaboration with Alicia’s trusted, GRAMMY-winning engineer, Ann Mincieli and recorded at her own Jungle City Studios in New York City.
The Tines Duo features two true-to-life electric piano emulations. PHOENIX is based on one of the world’s most influential and recognised electric pianos, with a vast spectrum of sounds, from bell-like textures to barking tones. DIAMOND immortalizes a very rare, original electric piano from 1967. Beyond its sparkling exterior lie real felt piano hammers, producing a unique and mellow tone similar to a vibraphone. Both instruments come with extensive tweaking options, detailed preamp models, suitcase cabinets and a vast array of quality fx.
Combining a vast range of vocal expressions with an innovative engine, Vocal Colors explores the synergy between speech and synthesis. Breathe motion, dynamics, and feeling into your music with inventive sounds that push the boundaries of the voice. From cinematic compositions to forward-thinking pop productions, Vocal Colors delivers hypnotic hues for igniting the initial spark or finessing your final brushstrokes.
PIANO COLORS is a truly avant-garde instrument, which delivers uniquely recorded grand piano articulations paired with the innovative modulation engines that include Motion, the Arpeggiator, and the newly extended Particles engine. Complex sounds transform in real-time to create expressive timbres, naturally pulsing grooves, and continuously evolving pads. Whether it’s dramatic noir soundtracks, forward-thinking electronica, or straight-up pop productions, PIANO COLORS gives life to new and unexpected musical ideas.
MYSTERIA is a cinematic performance instrument, focussing on choirs and voices in order to convey different moods and emotions than its sibling THRILL. Aleatoric textures and clusters have been recorded with a large 48-singers choir, a chamber choir and a specialized quartet. The raw recordings set the basis for additional hybrid sound design to create aggressive, mystical or otherworldly atmospheres and morph between layers and control their intensity in real-time.
Experience firsthand the signature grand piano sound of composer and pianist Nils Frahm. This is the sound of a unique concert grand – handpicked by the artist, custom intonated, and augmented with a felt damper. Recorded at Saal 3 in Berlin’s renowned, Bauhaus-designed Funkhaus recording complex, NOIRE is a unique, intense, and evocative instrument, with an atmosphere all of its own.
The performance instrument for playing spine-chilling atmospheres, clusters, and hybrid textures. Composers and sound designers are in need of dramatic sounds to create tension and underscore the visuals. The idea behind THRILL is the dynamic control of dynamically composed and recorded sample sets, that evolve and intensify their sound. Using the central X-Y performance controller, the tension of each sound can be increased and the sound morphed and modulated in real-time.
The contemporary piano sound has faithfully been captured and transformed into a virtual instrument, introducing fresh sound elements unique in the digital world. UNA CORDA is based on a handbuilt ‚Klavins Una Corda 88’ modern upright piano, which has specifically been developed and optimized for sampling purposes.
THE GRANDEUR brings the rich, hyper-detailed sound of one of the world’s most treasured concert grand pianos to life in crisp, sonorous detail. Featuring a bright, silky top end and booming, full bass even in the quietest passages, THE GRANDEUR delivers a high-end sound that is perfectly at home in mainstream pop, jazz, and classical productions.
THE MAVERICK is an impeccable recreation of a sonically-singular instrument – a 1905 concert grand made for the Prince of Prussia. THE MAVERICK delivers a wide range of color and an unconventional sound where every key has character – a singular piano built for royalty.
THE GENTLEMAN is a sampled instrument based on an upright piano from 1908. This piano has survived with all the original parts intact, and you can hear this turn-of-the-century character in the recordings. With a sound both delicate and expressive, this upright piano delivers balanced tone, a wide dynamic range, and a beautiful, lush sound. Your new standard vintage upright.
The ultimate suspense instrument for spine-chilling, cinematic build-ups with exclusive sounds. For composers in cinematic production, dramatic build-ups and staggering conclusions are much in demand these days. This need for impressive, inspiring and complex tension building sounds and especially for a time saving concept for placing and time-adjusting those sounds within a scoring arrangement was the motivation to develop RISE&HIT.
THE GIANT captures the sound of one of the world's largest upright pianos, the Klavins Piano Model 370i. THE GIANT is a unique instrument with an extremely strong low end, crystalline highs, rich overtones, plenty of punch, and a colossal sonic spectrum. THE GIANT is two instruments in one, as there is a dark, cinematic alter ego to the pure main piano, which offers an irresistible playground for sound design and dramatic effects.
