Soundiron Delphi Piano Series, Volume 1 Autumn 1958: Vintage Sound, Modern Applications
One in a series of โcharacter” sampled piano libraries that both takes you back and catapults you forward
No question, Delphi Piano Series, Volume 1: Autumn 1958 has the โrich, muddy, and fuzzed-out flavor of 50s jazz, blues, and big band pianoโ character that sample developer Soundiron was after.
But like most instruments, it would work in many other settings (Soundiron suggests “electronica, lofi, hip hop, ambient, postminimalism, contemporary classical, and post rockโ). And because piano is such a complex instrument with all kindsof overtones, sometimes youโre better off starting with one that has the sound youโre after than trying to change the sound of a more versatile instrument.
Autumn 1859 requires that you already own the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8+ sampler, but the library is very inexpensive.
The 6.11GB instrument’s features include:
– 9 velocity layers, 6 round robins, note release and pedal sounds
– 20 unique โFX and ambientโ presets
– multi-layer interface controls with LFO, filter, glide, and an arpeggiator
– an effects rack with convolution reverb (custom rooms, halls, chambers, and effects environments).
Price: $29
