Toontrack Felt Piano EKX - Download

This expansion for EZkeys 2 features a carefully captured felt-dampened upright piano ideal for anything from mellow singer-songwriter and folk to acoustic pop and rock. If you're looking for the ultimate instrument for earthy, round and warm tones, this is it.

Recorded using a classic technique where an extra layer of felt is applied directly to the strings that the hammers strike, the overall tone of this instrument has a much quieter attack and an overall more warm and intimate resonance compared to a traditional piano. To add, the room in which it was captured is moderately small, adding to its almost visceral timbre. To capture every tonal aspect possible, one mono as well as three different stereo pairs of carefully selected microphones were used in the recording. These microphone options were then all utilized in the broad collection of presets, showcasing anything from the subtle, nuanced and delicate to the more full-bodied and rich - still all with that gentle and almost velvety attack.

In addition to the sounds, a basic MIDI library tailored specifically for the instrument is included, giving you a starting point of piano grooves to work from and be inspired by when exploring the sonic possibilities of the product. If your songs call for a piano with sounds as soft as silk, here you go.
