Syntone has announced the release of Piano Impacts, a virtual instrument for Native Instruments Kontakt.
This library consists of a multitude of different percussive strikes against an upright piano using wooden beaters, metal beaters, palms, knuckles and fists. Pedal samples were also recorded to give each hit extra power from the vibrating strings of the piano.
The whole package comes complete with a custom-scripted arpeggiator, built to give the user a number of options to vary their patterns and rhythms.

- Custom-scripting, including an arpeggiator.
- 48kHz/24-bit quality.
