ENHANCED PIANO with MARIMBA

By

Flintpope

OVERVIEW

TWO FOR ONE: a double pack of two Flintpope Kontakt instruments that complement each other in their ability to create a range of sounds from clear lead lines through to fuzzy, warm pads.

Both have been meticulously crafted from 140 individually sampled notes to ensure a true response from each midi keypress.

Both host a number of easily accessible onboard effects to manipulate their output.

1.ENHANCED PIANO

Eighty-eight individual piano strings have been sampled from A-1 to C7 and then overlaid note by note with an atmospheric orchestral tail-off.

If a short release is set the end result is a rich sounding, bright piano with key for key realism and no time-stretched artefacts. Varied velocity layers under the hood allow for playback sensitivity.

A long release creates a more interesting almost synth-like resonance that can be layered into deep textural ambiences utilising the onboard effects. Each has its own dedicated page accessible via a tab at the bottom of the GUI and 37 Flintpope snapshots as starting points to demonstrate some of the capabilities of the instrument. See enclosed manual for a HOW TO on loading snapshots.

2.MARIMBA

This instrument is a model of a 52 note orchestral marimba ( A1 to C6) recorded by Sonivox at Futura Studio, a converted Masonic temple in Roslindale, Massachusetts. The studio space was small enough to lend a sense of intimacy, but large enough to accommodate a suggested orchestral presence. This gives the sound a sense of space and life. Each rosewood tone bar was sampled seperately so each of the 52 notes in this Kontakt instrument is true to pitch with no time- stretched artifacts. There are four velocity layers across each note to help create a natural playing feel. The instrument comes with five GUI panels to access different effects (including a midi-recorder) and 18 Flintpope snapshots as starting points to demonstrate some of the capabilities of the instrument. See enclosed manual for a HOW TO on loading snapshots.
