“Formant” allows you to make the sound of the piano “bigger” or “smaller”, by changing the formant of the sound. It can be used both for shaping the sound and for creative purposes. On maximun/minimum values, you can create a slow-down effect (like in the demo) or a chipmonk tune.

Demo: Formant control set at -11

We sampled the pianos with multiple microphone positions.

• “Close”: the microphones are close to the strings, and the sound is modern and clean.

• “Player”: the microphones are in the same position of the player. The sound results incredibly natural and well balanced.

• “Room”: the microphones are far from the piano, so they will capture the reflection of the recording room. The sound is wide and it fits well with classical music.

Expand your possibilities: Due allows you to add a noise or an instrument layer to the sound of the piano. With this feature, is possible to create a felt-like piano (with a cotton layer) or a full sound preset (with a choir layer).

NOISE LAYERS: Cotton 2, Cotton 2, Cotton Soft, Paper, Sponge, Leaves, String Perc, Key, Metal, Plastic 1, Plastic 2, Warm Plastic, Glass, Bells 1, Bells 2

INSTRUMENT LAYERS: Bells, Kantele, Piano, Harmonics, Choir, Guitar, Glockenspiel, Vibraphone, E. Guitar

Demo with Layer Vibraphone:

“Oldify” is a collection of effects that allows you to simulate an old recording.

• Tape adds an harmonic distorsion to the sound
• Flutter simulates a fast modulation of the tape
• Wow simulates a slow and random modulation of the tape
• Filter is a band-pass filter: here you can easily simulate crappy speakers, like a phone-call.
