Granny Piano REASON REFiLL

Team SYNTHiC4TE | Feb 25 2014 | 164 MB

Welcome to the Reason ReFill Edition of our classic Ol’ Busted Granny Upright Piano! This instrument is pretty special to us, though it doesn’t sound all that fancy. Actually, it sounds pretty damn rough around the edges, but that’s just the way we like her. Sure, there are plenty of other great piano libraries out there, with their gleaming chrome and pristine strings, but none of them ever captured the authentic beauty of a cheap, dusty, beat up, rusting, long untuned upright piano. This is the kind of old heap your grandma had in her living room.

Cin-B Shaped Grand Piano

SYNTHiC4TE | June 22 2015 | 554 MB

”This is a piano that doesn’t exist”

The CIN series are made to be easy to use instrument that will inspire you, straight out of the box. No bells or whistles, just load them and play! The bells and whistles have already been applied, by us. The CIN-B is a hybrid. We took a Grand Piano and morphed in the attack part from a Harpsichord. since the Harpsichord works with plucked strings, and also has a bright, almost brittle timbre, the tone produced in the CIN-B is totally unique. We then layered the sound with a mellotron mixed choir, most prominent in the lower velocities, so when played softly, the choir part is more in front, but when you hit it harder, the choir just gives a slight dreamy mist over the tone.
