Kind of magical!
A wonderful and very unique take of a piano sound, which is also very well done and nicely presented. The three different "generators" mix beautifully together, and having the freedom to control the individual levels is simply awesome. My only issue that it's very low-end heavy, and sometimes you can hear some white noise, but that's all. If those weren't a thing, it would be a 5/5!
Beautiful delayed soft piano library!
This will be one of favorite piano library! What a beautiful, soft textured piano sound. I really like the moment keys are released, it will be like another instrument played. Beautiful delay as well. Thank you for the contribution..!
"Whats cooler than being cool? Ice co..." -- The Cool Piano of course!
And in the immortal words of one Andre 3000, "Whats cooler than being cool?" Well the answer isn't "Ice Cold".. The answer is here and its the 'The Cool Piano'. Expertly recorded by Christian as always this instrument gives the user a versatile "cool" piano. The Shallowwater pedal adds that creamy tape sound and the delay works really nicely in conjunction with it. The release triggers are pretty heavy but lucky for you there's a volume control for them and the pedals. What more could you want?
Very Cool Indeed.
I love the tone and its vibe is awesome. Messing with a great piano sound to add drama to it is what's needed in these libraries. We can all do great but we need more "cool."
Very "Cool"
Watching how Christian made this instrument with his Pedalapocalypse setup inspired me to create a virtual effects rack for a very mangled and distorted piano sound, which eventually became my first pianobook entry. Returning to this after making my own, it's amazing how different sounds emerge from a similar approach. I think this instrument nails the aesthetic of NIN, but I think it is much more versatile and I'll likely use it for some Horror/Suspense genre. My favorite part is adjusting how much of the guitar distortion sound comes through, the low hits can get that really nice guitar amp sound.
Ummm
What can I say, this is just stunning. I can think of so many uses for this. The sound just draws you in. I am going to go and have another little play with it right now, If you don't have it, get it.
Dark and Inspiring
Perfect for minimalist pieces or for adding wobbly echoes to an existing piano
The Piano in a Downward Spiral
There are times you need the NIN piano sound, and nothing else will quite do. You can try to feed a sample through tons of plugins or pedals, but here's that famous sound, all set up and ready for you. Christian did all the work already. I've already used this on a couple of tracks, and I'm quite confident it will be used again soon!
Another amazing addition from the man who started this all
Christian has provided us with yet another amazing sample instrument, which I would argue, yes, fit his brackets of being "cool." This instrument holds true to its piano roots, while adding so much more, sounding like both and piano and a synthesizer at the same time. It lends itself much more to slow moving piece, and playing it at its extremities is rather fun. Definitely one that I think everyone should add to their personal collection.
