Description: Versions with a vintage vibe.
For music producers or songwriters looking for instant inspiration, Upright Piano is perfect for 60s or 70s pop sounds, but can equally be used for funk, soul, house, hip-hop, lounge music styles. , ambient or even latin music styles. Whatever your musical style, if you’re looking to add the sound of a real piano performance to your next piece, Upright Piano delivers just the right vibe.
While the concert grand piano has its own musical place, there is nothing better than the sound of a piano for classic pop music. The Upright Piano, which is part of our Elastik series of instruments, offers just that. The emphasis here is on “character”. Performing an old school atmosphere of the 60s / 70s. In addition, you get the authentic piano sound, including all the sonic details – hammer strikes, pedals and subtle tuning defects that make the sound real. With a versatile collection of instantly usable musical phrases, the library delivers the feel of a real piano in a real room.
The library contains over 2GB of sample data and a total of over 800 loops and phrases. Each phrase is presented both raw (without effects) and processed. The mastered versions add tape effects, spatial reverb and echo, analog-style EQ, compression and just a hint of noise to the vintage vibe. This gives the user either instant “ready to use” versions or, using dry versions, full control by adding their own processing options.
Phrases are grouped by tempo into folders containing collections of musically related loops. Initial recording rates from 70 to 120 beats per minute. Loops are usually 4 bars long and are written in the major key of A/E and the minor key of a/e. However, with the consistent sound across your entire loop collection and Elastik’s powerful tempo matching and retuning features, it’s incredibly easy to mix and match phrases from different folders and create a complete performance.
The Elastik player allows you to tailor loops to your current song project in terms of speed, scale and pitch. An intuitive browser manages all Elastik libraries for immediate access to all samples. This way, you can combine not only loops from Upright Piano, but also from all installed Elastik libraries. With functions such as resample, formant and reverse, as well as an efficient multi-mode filter, samples can be easily modified.
