Last night while doing the noodle diddle daddle with various wavetables i found something that resembled a piano. So today i refined it and to my surprise i was able to make some decent low keys also. Its a one osc static waveform and a vcf, thats all it takes apparently. This piano makes my old piano totally pale in comparison.

In this demo i've added strings to make it sound bigger because i'm really not good at performance piano, so you have to settle with me jamming bits and stuff

Sounds great Michael! Those low notes really are convincing. As usual your "not good performance" was great. I especially liked the melancholy segment about 1/2 way in.

It's great having you back here posting random Zebra mp3s!

Very nice.

When you played the intro to Evil Woman, I was fully expecting Bev Bevan's drum fill...

Wow. That is great! Man Zebra is really possible of amazing emulations. I was toying with some asian plucks earlier and it sounded so authentic within the mix of my track!

Nicely done. We can expect this in a new soundbank?

Amazing stuff... As always from you Michael

Just listened to it.
Sounds wonderful.
I'm guessing you used one osc for the piano, and one for the strings in the same patch.
Great playing too.

Thats excellent!

Are you releasing any new soundbanks Michael?

Gave it a listen this morning and its not bad at all.

Have to sit on it now for awhile and maybe come up with some correction for the highs since they are not so good.

MCnoone's piano had some nice character but lacked some body and my old piano lacked attack and lows, i think this one brings us a bit closer to a solution. So in the spirit of a happy sharing community i release this one so you guys can give it a closer look.

Name is PPG_ModeratePiano_b05 since i use an altered PPG wavetable and the b05 is for beta version 05.

and yes there will be another soundset from me but no eta yet.

Have fun
