Midnight Grand

Intro

Recorded in a spacious concert hall, this Steinway Model D Grand Piano features a layer of cotton between the hammers and strings, which imparts a delicate, cinematic sound.

About

The felt piano sound has become a staple in every composer's collection. While most felt pianos are uprights, recorded using their practice pedal, we've expanded this concept to a grand piano. After experimenting with different materials, we settled on a thin layer of cotton between the hammers and strings.

This produces a richer, darker tone, and when recorded in a large concert hall, it creates a striking contrast to our other felted piano, Woodchester Piano, which was captured in a small, dry studio.

Enhancing the library further, we've included 14 Atmosphere Layers—pads that seamlessly blend beneath the raw piano sound—along with a versatile set of controls. These elements are explored through eight carefully crafted snapshot presets, introduced in the latest update, that act as a great starting point when exploring darker music genres.

New Update

Unlock even more sonic possibilities with our latest Midnight Grand update, featuring innovative response controls that bring it in line with its sister library, Spotlight Piano. We have also added 11 new Atmosphere Layers, expertly curated into eight snapshot presets by the Fracture Sounds team.
