Simple Sam Vintage Upright

Simple Sam Samples has launched Vintage Upright, a virtual piano instrument for Native Instruments Kontakt.

Vintage Upright is a beautiful “character” piano, subtly out-of-tune, bursting with realism, and filling a gap between the pristinely sampled pianos on the market and novelty “junk” pianos.

Its haunting tone shines beautifully as a solo instrument or in the mix, and lends extraordinary character to any style of music including jazz, rock, blues, pop, ragtime, and film applications.

Vintage Upright features

  • More than 3000 samples in 24 Bit.
  • All 88 keys individually sampled in 10 dynamic levels.
  • Two microphone perspectives (Close and Room).
  • Multi-velocity adjustable mechanical noises (pedal, hammer, release).
  • Authentically modeled una corda (soft pedal) samples.
  • Sympathetic String Resonance with real overtones.
  • True repedaling and Pedal “catch”.
  • User controllable microphone/recording noise.
  • Adjustable stereo width and controllable reverb.

The library is available to purchase for the introductory price of $29.99 USD (regular $49.99 USD). Requires the full retail version of Kontakt 5.1 or later (Kontakt 4 version coming soon).
