Iamlamprey has announced the release of a new ambient pad instrument with 2GB of source material created from mangling piano recordings.

Eidolon – Haunted Piano contains 16 patches which can be loaded into one of 3 samplers. The instrument allows you to instantly generate random patches, and 20 factory presets are included to get you started.

Eidolon is my take on what a Piano would sound like if a friendly ghost decided it was a good place to occupy. It’s a pad instrument created from mangling 2GB of sustained piano samples via all manner of audio destruction – time-stretching, infinite delays, giant reverbs, granular and modular resynthesis, vocoding… the list goes on.

It’s perfect for quickly laying down dark atmospheres and tones, or for your next ambient or post rock piece.

Available for the free Neat Player (VST/AU) and the full version of Kontakt 5.8 or higher, Eidolon is priced $40 USD.
