01Overview

FREEZE: Air Piano is part of KLANG's FREEZE collection, a set of instruments built around freezing reverb tails and stretching sound sources. This one takes a piano as its starting point. The sound comes from an upright piano played with damped strings and the sustain pedal, a technique common in contemporary music. KLANG developed the instrument to suit modern pop and hip-hop production rather than a purely classical approach. It runs as a plugin inside Ableton Live.

03In depth

Sound Character of the Damped Piano

The instrument is based on an upright piano recorded with damped strings and the sustain pedal engaged. KLANG describes the aim as a sound that sits more naturally in modern pop and hip-hop than the technique does in its usual contemporary-music setting.

Because the piano is the source, the instrument keeps the attack and body of a real acoustic instrument while the damping shapes the decay. This makes it a practical choice for producers who want a piano tone with a softer, more atmospheric presence than a conventional piano sample.

Fit for Ableton Live Production

FREEZE: Air Piano is designed as a plugin for Ableton Live. It is part of the wider FREEZE collection, whose other instruments use freezing and stretching techniques to make pads, ambiences and rhythmic sounds.

The software requires Ableton Live 10 Suite or above. It will not run in Ableton Live Intro or Standard, so check your edition before purchasing or installing.
