A library of playable two-note slurs for creating expressive string textures. Play overlapping pairs of notes within a perfect 4th of each other to trigger the two-note slurs, or “ripples”. On string instruments, there’s a kind of energy and life you can put into the sound as you travel between two notes, especially if you play them in a single bow stroke. You can lean into the first note expressively, and then let the second note fold into the release of the first note so that they sound like one gesture. If these notes were recorded separately, then stitched together later, it wouldn’t have the same nuance. It’s gratifying to play these two-note slurs across different dynamics. To capture this feeling, the samples are all recorded as swells. At the beginning of the swell, the second note can be played so lightly that the pitch is hardly perceptible. It’s like a ghost note. Then, as the sound grows, the slurs naturally change and adapt to keep it fresh.

A lofi piano library with character, coolness, warmth and vintage charm. Comes with separate dust and artefacts options. TAPESTRY OF TAPE. Each piano has a different flavour.

Demonstrating some vinyl-piano patches with a different retro-inspired boosted flavour. 90 mangled e-piano patches enriched with vinyl artefacts, scratches, dust, wows, flutter, amps and tape-sounds. Delivering all the slow-motion wobble and vibe you could ever wish for. TAPE-AGED WARMTH. Every note pulsates with vibrations and beautiful timbral imperfections, capturing the essence of lo fidelity cherished by hip hop enthusiasts and coffee shop intellectuals.

The fluttering, expressive, and nostalgic pianos within “Vinyl Piano” are designed to inspire and add character.
Fender Rhodes Mrk1 Extended
The Silk Rhodes is a recorded 1975 Rhodes Mark1 captured with a boutique vintage signal chain. It was outfitted with per-tonebar piezo pickups to allow for a fuller sound. And the sounds were triggered by us plucking, bowing or hitting the tines inside the rhodes.
Rumble, the world’s first Kontakt Player virtual instrument to combine the finest in traditional marching drums with cutting-edge sound design. This superbly flexible virtual instrument gives educators, composers, and musicians an imaginative, innovative, and inspiring new sonic palette for creative music-making.
