Roland has announced the release of EARTH Piano, a software-based piano instrument available exclusively on Roland Cloud.
Since introducing the groundbreaking EP-10 in 1973, Roland has remained dedicated to moving piano design forward and extending the instrument's range for all musicians. EARTH Piano features Roland's best and most modern piano sound technology, combining detailed multi-sampling with proprietary modeling techniques for the perfect blend of realism and playability. With its incredibly natural tone, wide dynamic range, and engaging response, EARTH Piano provides an inspiring platform for everything from intimate solo performances to dense full-scale productions.
EARTH Piano features seven distinctive instruments including concert grands, studio pianos, upright, felt, and toy pianos.
With its clean and efficient user interface, Roland says EARTH Piano provides intuitive tools to fine-tune tonal parameters for every instrument. Players can control the temperament, stereo width, and dynamic range and tweak physical sounds like cabinet resonance, string resonance, pedal noise, and more. They can also adjust each key's tuning, volume, and character.
EARTH Piano's Venue effect leverages convolution techniques to place a piano in nine different spaces derived from real locations including a spacious cathedral, a concert hall, or an intimate studio or lounge setting.
Additionally, EARTH Piano includes a wide selection of integrated studio-grade effects for enhancing sounds. Users can shape the overall tone with a three-band EQ, a multi-mode compressor and 90 multi-effects combinations for additional tone and color manipulations.
