Atelier Series: Memories Piano

Despite an ocean of wonderful piano libraries available out there, we felt there was an important/useful flavor that is seldom explored. Instead of capturing prestigious, perfectly tuned pianos – why not perfectly capture untuned, aged pianos?

Between the unpredictable hammer action (oftentimes mandating 50+ takes per note), carefully capturing useful piano ranges and selective/musical noise reduction – Atelier Series Memories Piano was no easy task to produce.

All of the aged intra-note tuning was left completely alone – but each note's pitch/velocity was centered by ear in Kontakt. What you end up with is a collection of three distinct pianos that are perfectly suited for a variety of songwriting genres as well as more humble, cinematic contexts.

In addition to the pianos, we've included Auras – atmospheric piano-sourced patches designed to gently support the main pianos. Piano Percussion is a series of gentle/not-so-gentle hits – great tool if you need an organic, rhythmic backdrop. Lastly, we've included Ambient Noise Floor – a simple, effective way to add warmth to your piano tracks.
