The Farmhouse Pads
Pads created from an old 1930 Wurlitzer Baby Grand.

The story
I am inspired and humbled by the connectivity of this musical community. I look forward to contributing in any way I can. I offered two pads that I recorded from an old 1930 Wurlitzer Baby Grand.She’s tired and doesn’t stay in tune well, but has some charm and character non the less! I recorder her in my farmhouse in Massachusetts, that dates back to 1780.
*Note… I saved the Kontakt Files as Monolith being I created everything with one single sample from a high note to be pitched down and become more synthy, Re: Christians latest video.

Another nice ambient pad
The sound is a slow-attacking ambient pad that is playable and easy to use. The "rusty pad" doesn't sound rusty, it's just beautiful :
Oodles of ethereal atmosphere.
I like these, a lot. Two multis here. The first, the "Ambient Stereo Pad" is slightly softer and more haunting than the second. Rich overtones abound with hint of harmonic bowed glasses or tamtams appearing at times. Pretty much anything you play sounds great, either magical or foreboding depending on the notes you choose. The "Rusty Pad" is slightly more crystalline, but never harsh. It gave me the same feeling as listening to the start of Vaughan Williams "A London Symphony". Truly magical stuff and just goes to show there's no direct correlation between Gigabytes and Inspiration.
Soft, warm pad sounds..
Pianobook's professor of pad sounds has made a gem here. Some of the samples seem a little noisy. But overall this is a beautiful sounding instrument.
