Description: PAIN PIANO: PREPARED STABINS AND PIANO RHYTHMS
Pain Piano is Kontakt’s sound design library based on prepared piano experiments. We recorded a large collection of pianos, including a Mornington & Weston, a 19th century Collard piano, an old sedan piano and even a piano harmonium, a one of a kind instrument that combines a traditional piano with a harmonium apparatus.
Kontakt Full version 5.8.1 or later required
Additional Information :
All of these instruments have been meticulously recorded by experimenting with a variety of objects on the strings to explore the endless sonic possibilities of the piano: snare tails, metallic sticks, screws, aluminum sheets, large cardboard panels have been used to carve out an unique horror SFX instrument that will set your cinematic productions apart. Horrific timbres, eerie atonal tones, stinging notes and hair-raising stabs are only a small part of the sounds you will find in Pain Piano.
Pain Piano is for the composer of music for pictures looking for unique sounds to enrich his composition and drive the audience attention in an easy and intuitive way. Whether you’re looking for dark, low atonal slams, tonal elements, old detuned piano notes, bowed piano strings or obsessive rhythms, the sounds and the multifunctional Kontakt instruments in Pain Piano got you covered.
The easy and intuitive GUI allows you to quickly manipulate the sounds (Low Pass Filter, High Pass, LFOs, AHDSR), tune them to a specific key both individually as globally.
PIANO SMASHER FUNCTIONALITY
Pain Piano also features a Piano Smasher functionality that allows you to create endless new sounds by randomizing the original samples: you can create cluster and tonal elements, transitions, dark impacts and many other useful cinematic effects.
You can even choose a weapon to virtually smash the piano (hammer, katana and dynamite) and experiment with the different sound signatures corresponding to each one!
TEMPO SYNCHED LOOPS
This library features also a large set of tempo synched loops (130+), that can be individually or globally tuned to a specific root key, and a Convolution Reverb module featuring 120+ IRs (Impulse Responses) to further sculpt the sound and create your own, unique effects. Pain Piano includes a total of 530+ high resolution, royalty-free sounds (.wav 96 kHz, 24 bit) plus 8 Kontakt instruments.
