01Overview

Epia is a sample-based electric piano instrument from Loot Audio that runs inside Native Instruments Kontakt. The library is built on deep sampling, with 532 samples, 10 velocity layers per note and 5 round robins. Its core sound is described by the developer as warm and flexible. An optional synthetic layer adds a simple synth engine that changes waveform complexity with velocity, so the instrument can move from smooth, creamy tones to a driven, funky character.

Sound, Layers and Playability

Epia is built from 532 samples spread across 10 velocity layers per note, with 5 round robins to vary repeated notes. The developer says the instrument covers a wide range of tones, from lush and creamy to a screaming overdriven funky electric piano.

The optional synthetic layer is a simple synth engine that responds to velocity. Harder playing makes the synth waveforms more complex. The layer includes LP and HP filters, and the library also offers A/R envelope control and hammer release sounds for more realistic note endings.

Effects, Output and Processing

Epia includes 9 effects: tape, compressor, a wah pedal controlled by the modulation wheel, chorus, overdrive, phaser, rotator, convolution reverb with 19 reverb options, and tape delay.

You can route the sound direct or through a virtual amplifier with 11 matching cabinets for more character. Processing also includes a dynamic range limiter and a stereo widener. The library totals about 1.9 GB.
