Such a delicate and tender sounded library
When open code played with reverb on, especially high keys create such a clear, delicate sound. Almost transparent texture.
Really fun!
As someone who creates systems music -- or Minimalism as we Yanks might call it -- this is a really fun and useful instrument. Yes, you could probably get this out of other libraries, but I find that often, limitations are the key to unlocking creativity. Throw an arpeggiator on there via a MIDI plug in and you've got yourself hours of playable fun!
Not so useful for me
While im not really familiar with systems music, i know christian is really into it so im sure this instrument is good for that kind of music. I also see other people are enjoying this which is awesome. For me personally i dont think id get much use out of this. I usually play sustained emotional piano parts not short fast ones and if i were going to play in a more stacatto way, i would rather just play that way on a normal piano and also have the option to hold out longer notes. It just seems a bit unnecessary because you can get this exact sound with a normal patch by just playing very quickly, theres nothing really unique about this instrument. Its fairly dynamic though which is a plus. This instrument just doesn't blend well with my style but im glad others are enjoying it
Staccato Piano
Like so many of Christian's packs it does exactly what it sets out to do. Good sound and I can see this would indeed be very useful if you're making systems music. As a bonus, I now know what's systems music actually is AND how it's different from minimalism. Excellent!
Simply staccato...
It's not really creating a sound that's much different from what could be replicated by a standard piano played without any pedal. Good to use if you just want a simple staccato instrument or plan on running it through more processing, but not much else.
