BAD PIANO TOOLKIT

{See video at top of page}

A unique wonky piano toolkit that exudes character and charming wrong-ness, and makes piano tones unlike anything you've heard before.

The BAD PIANO TOOLKIT contains two Kontakt instruments each sharing variations of the wonky piano sample set, but with different approaches to making sounds.

GRAINs BAD PIANO is a granular Kontakt engine that shrinks and stretches the piano into new textures that are still recognizably piano-ish - or not.

60REWIRES is an extension of DRIFT FREE BAD PIANOS that adds 60 themed and re-cabled snapshots in 6 categories that expand the basic sound set far beyond the free version.

From Tom Waits to the haunting beauty of Disintegration Loops and the lush chaos of My Bloody Valentine, with a nod to Mrs. Mills, this toolkit delivers new ways of using and hearing the piano.

Free or £20/$20/€20.
