The Drinking Piano is a fat-bottomed monster upright with a classic beer hall sound. This Ivors and Pond piano has got all of the brutal wear and tear you’d expect from a 100 year-old instrument that has been played hard and put away wet, night after night. The Drinking Piano is a fat-bottomed monster upright with a classic beer hall sound, evoking images of the roaring 20s and pre-war 30s. It’s got all of the brutal wear and tear that you’d expect from a hundred-year-old instrument that has been played hard and put away wet, night after night. With a fat, wide and close sound, it puts you right on the bench with the yellow, cracked ivories under your fingers. It was recorded right up against the strings in a small, slightly reflective hall, giving it all the presence of a dry studio recording with just a hint of live ambiance.
This library captures the authenticity of a cheap, dusty, beat up, rusting, untuned upright piano – the kind you remember from your grandma’s house. We’ve designed separate string release and key release samples to preserve the piano’s eccentric charm. Our old busted Granny Piano captures the heart and soul of an old, run-down upright piano with rickety keys, a few broken strings and many decades of hard use and abuse. Sure, there are plenty of other great upright piano libraries out there, with their shining lacquer and pristine strings, but none of them ever captured the authentic beauty of a cheap, dusty, beat up, rusting, long untuned upright piano. This is the kind of upright you remember from your grandma’s house.
The Lows is a vast collection of taped analog bass synth kontakt-instruments. Therefore, it covers most of our low-end needs. The first 3 banks on the taped synth are sinus-based patches. We use it for the sub fundamentals and for building low-end on any kind of track that needs an immediate feeling of warmth. The other 7 banks on The Lows are for a little more characteristic sounding. Here are some saw waves, some ”left-field” tape-based instruments. From sinus-based saw waves to adding Low’s on any track you like to be beat-oriented.
Drum Tree is a pack that, through tremendous cost, effort and dedication has pursued and captured the techniques of the legendary songs, genre by genre and with the utmost respect. Behind its cute and colorful design, Drum Tree packs a serious punch and is the heaviest hitting, energy filled software on the market. It makes itself stand up clearly in crowded tracks without pushing faders. The sound provided is mastered and finished, leaving no work for a mixing engineer. It also means the user won’t need to worry about any EQ or compressors. I believe all sound libraries must save artists from wasting time with such troublesome matters. You will be amazed at how well the sound stands up under the limiter during mastering. If you compare our specially produced 96kHz sound with any other software, you will be able to hear a clear difference, even on iPhone earphones. Drum Tree is the flagship drum sound library of professional virtual instrument makers Premier Sound Factory, and is the work of a sound engineer who has spent 20 years seeking the essential elements of what makes a top class piece of music.
Nodal is a bass library for Kontakt that features not just standard shorts and longs, but focuses primarily on rich, deep bass textures and vibrant patches. Musicians were instructed to evolve each note timbrally, providing a fluid, forward-moving feel. Two of the basses dropped the lowest string an octave, reaching unprecedented depths in bass notes.
