Piano Source Material and Sound Design Textures

The core of the library is a box grand piano, recorded with notes, releases, clusters, glissandos, dead keys and pedal noises captured in two microphone positions. Soundiron says the recordings were reshaped into new evolving tones, textures, movements, patterns and distortions, so the piano is a starting point rather than the final sound.

The library contains 11 multi-sampled ambient pads, evolving drones and impacts. These suit film scoring, ambient beds and sound-design work where you want the character of an old piano without a conventional piano tone.

With 2,264 stereo samples in 24 bit / 48 kHz uncompressed PCM WAV format, the source material offers a high level of detail for processing.

Presets, Controls and Effects for Kontakt

Delphi Piano #2 includes 37 Kontakt .nki instrument presets and 36 sound-designed FX and ambient presets. The multi-layer interface gives you LFO, filter, glide and arpeggiator controls to shape each patch.

A full FX rack includes convolution reverb with custom rooms, halls, chambers and FX environments. You can use these to place the instrument in a space or to push it into more abstract territory.

The library installs at 8.92 GB, so plan for storage space and a fast drive. The developer recommends a SATA or SSD drive for this library.
