Introducing London Boyd – 1920’s Upright, a new upright piano library. This charming piano adorned the halls of some of London’s finest establishments for the best part of a century. It’s characterful and intimate timbre resonates with the history that precedes it, which is what inspired us to capture the sound in this one of a kind virtual instrument. With a wonderfully rich and earthy tone, each note contains unparalled expression which is perfect for creating a sophisticated and emotional sound within a few key strokes.
When we chose to create piano Instruments, we carefully chose which upright piano to start from. When facing grand codas, the choice is rather limited, but upright pianos are a totally different world. We wanted a piano capable of producing both a full sound and the shallow on the edge of being out-of-tune tone characteristic of so many historical recordings. We sampled a beautifully made italian upright piano built by Steinbach in Torino and placed it in a mid-size roomy studio surrounded by a plethora of microphones.

A library that really goes deep. The wooden sound of an upright bass delivers unmatched liveliness to the lower registers of any track. Upright Bass covers multiple musical genres with its tasteful dynamic grooves. Upright Bass is the latest title of instrument-series where every volume fully focuses on a single instrument. The loops and licks of this library cover multiple playing techniques and articulations of the upright bass: flageolet, walking bass, half time, slides, bends, double notes and a lot more.
New pianos library for Kontakt (Player), Abbey Road Classic Upright Pianos.

The 1901 Upright Studio Piano is the most comprehensive deep-sampled Upright ever created. Recorded and processed at 24-Bit / 96Khz at our famous British Studio through a large custom NEVE desk. The 1901 Upright Studio Piano contains both standard and prepared articulations. All standard sustain samples were recorded with both pedal up, pedal down and half pedal positions. In addition we also added staccatissimo (w/ round robin) for fast playing styles and our gorgeous Una Corta (Soft Pedal) articulation, which has to be the warmest- and softest piano articulation ever recorded.
