Native Instruments has announced the release of a new virtual instrument that combines an upright piano with processed multisamples in a completely new way.

Crosstalk Piano lets you shift layered piano sounds over time with per layer volume modulations, like short peaks, smooth curves or pumping. The Kontakt Player-powered library comes over 200 inspiring presets with 3 sound variations for each.

Discover a fresh approach to piano. Faithful piano samples with a soft, dark tone have been combined with a huge selection of processed multisamples.

Choose from fragile, resynthesized, and deconstructed sounds, including field recordings, weird FM pianos, guitar-like feedback loops, and much more. Then layer any sample, use the Crosstalk feature to modulate individual layer volume over time, and shape the sound with six different macros. Crosstalk Piano will take you in new directions with a deep, atmospheric sound perfect for emotional compositions.

Regularly priced 149 USD/EUR, Crosstalk Piano is on sale at a 20% discount as part of a Piano Day promotion, which includes some of Native Instruments’ most-beloved piano instruments.
