Splice has introduced the first installment in its Free Drops series available in its newly released INSTRUMENT, a plugin that brings world-class instruments right into your DAW.
This month is your chance to download our meticulously recorded Cassette Toy Piano 1—a tiny toy piano re-recorded through a cassette dictaphone. The result is crunchy, wobbly, and beautifully raw. It’s tailor-made for grime, drill, and trap melodies, but don’t let that stop you from finding your own creative use for it.
The full Lofi Toy Piano pack that this Free Drop comes from takes the innocent charm of a Schoenhut toy piano and drags it through tape hiss, VHS warble, and stuttered effects to create something crunchy, pitchy, and full of character. Check out the rest of the pack for more playful yet unsettling toy pianos.
Free for a limited time (and to keep forever), users can claim Cassette Toy Piano from the ‘Drop’ icon in the top-right corner of the INSTRUMENT plugin.
