Following in the foundational footsteps of the recently released VAULTS series Absurdly Quiet Piano, The Crow Hill Company has introduced a PRO version of the instrument library featuring the sounds of a piano recorded beyond the possibilities afforded in live performance on the very verge of silence.
If you want a bright, bitey piano this ISN’T the one for you. This piano is mellow, soft and alluring without having it’s resonance hindered by being a felt or celeste-pedal piano. There is a point at which you can depress a piano key that the hammer doesn’t quite make it to the string and the key remains silent. We found that point and played each key just a hair louder so the hammer just kissed, or rather tickled the strings.
How does this “pro” version differ from the R&D “Vaults” version we released? By introducing both pedal up and down resonance samples. Two dynamic layers (super-soft and almost-silent-soft), a brace of round robins, release triggers, damper samples and two distinctive mic positions to balance resonance with the mechanics of the instrument.
Absurdly Quiet Piano PRO is available for Windows and macOS (VST/VST3, AU and AAX), priced £29 GBP.
