Family Piano Pads
A spectrally altered version of Stephen Tallamy's Family Piano instrument.
ByFred Poirier
The story
Three pad instruments created from the “Family Piano” by Stephen Tallamy.
The starting point of these instruments is Christian’s video « How To Make Your Own Pads (with Pianos) » and more especially the pinned comment about Michael Norris Soundmagic Spectral plugins. I lost almost one day playing around with the Spectral Drone Maker, so I decided to make it useful by creating some Pads.
Different sonic tortures was applied to Stephen’s superb instrument, including spectral stretching, spectral blurring, reverbs and delays, pitching up and down.
At the end, three quite different pads with subtle evolutions in it.
Reviews
Just beautiful. Very easy to blend with any instrument
Just beautiful. This will be my another favorite pads going forward. I really like all the library from Fred, such a talent!
Awesome Post Rock Pads
Im really into Post Rock music and right when i heard these pads i thought they would be perfect for that style. Theyre characterful, emotional and lush but also have a bit of grit to them sometimes. I think its a perfect balance. Theyre evolving and interesting, even sometimes sounding like theres some guitar in there. Theres also no white noise which i actually sometimes like in pads but im glad theres none here. You can always add some noise onto of a pad but its alot harder to take it away. This is such a quality instrument and stands out to me even though we have a million beautiful ambient pads on pianobook.
Exceptionally made, multi faceted pad sound
Really pro sounding pad sound. Lovely attention to detail in the GUI offering varying amounts of pad timbres. It just sounds so good. Sometimes like a voice, sometimes like strings, sometimes like brass... I love it.
