Eidolon - Haunted Piano: Kontakt Pad Instrument by Iamlamprey

Iamlamprey created the 16 banks by mangling sustained piano samples with a variety of techniques. Iamlamprey describes the processing as including time-stretching, infinite delays, large reverbs, granular and modular resynthesis, and vocoding. The result is a set of pad-oriented sounds rather than a conventional piano library.

The instrument is suited to dark atmospheres and textural tones. The developer positions it for ambient and post-rock writing, where the processed piano character can sit beneath other parts.

Each sound includes built-in effects, and all of them have automatable controllers, so you can shape the sound over time within your host sequencer.

The randomize button creates an entirely new patch with one click, which is useful when you need a starting point. Pitch-bend and filter cutoff are mapped to the modwheel for expressive performance.
