Noire

Experience firsthand the signature grand piano sound of composer and pianist Nils Frahm. This is the sound of a unique concert grand – handpicked by the artist, custom intonated, and augmented with a felt damper. We've captured the piano in its native habitat – the ambient environment of Saal 3 in Berlin's renowned, Bauhaus-designed Funkhaus recording complex. The result is a unique, intense, and evocative instrument, with an atmosphere all of its own:

• NOIRE was captured using vintage mics and preamps in the rich acoustic environment of Saal 3 in Funkhaus Berlin.
• NOIRE offers pure and felt preparation versions of the 9' concert grand piano.
• Quickly customize the sound from any page of the interface.
• Dive deeper into advanced customization options to fine-tune your sound.
• Add motion and spur new creative ideas with an innovative particles engine that automatically generates notes based on what you play.
• Apply effects to shape or completely alter the piano's character. Blend in a variety of noises to enhance realism.
