Create a clear composition
Based on the engine of the famous Noire , one of the finest and largest grand pianos in the world, Claire delivers harmonically rich sound that moves from deep, resonant bass to clear, shimmering overtones. Whether you’re writing pop ballads or creating stunning film soundtracks, Claire invites you to enjoy every step of the creative process, where every note is full of possibilities.
A true gem of a piano,
Claire is carefully sampled from a world-class Italian concert grand piano renowned for its unrivalled clarity, depth and power of tone. Its long strings create a deep, penetrating bass, while a unique fourth pedal reduces the distance between hammer strikes and provides a softer volume without changing the timbre.
Flexible Sound Design
Recorded at the famous Galaxy Hall, Claire features Close and Room micsthat can be easily combined to create anything from deep tones to expansive ambience. Enhance your sound with the Color , Tonal Shift , Tonal Depth , and Richness controls , adjusting the mechanical and pedal noises for an authentic performance.
Play with Particles
The Particles engine, beloved by Noire , enhances your sound by adding layers of pulsating harmonics, textures, and subtle rhythmic patterns that respond to your performance. It transforms every note into an immersive, evolving soundscape, infusing your compositions with emotion and pushing them in new creative directions.
