Description
Overview
The Atelier Series: Memories Piano by Musical Sampling is a specialized collection of three unique pianos designed for Kontakt. Unlike traditional libraries that focus on prestigious, perfectly tuned instruments, this series explores the evocative beauty of aged and untuned pianos. By capturing the unpredictable hammer action and authentic intra-note tuning of weathered instruments, this library provides a level of character and nostalgia rarely found in digital samplers.
Beyond the primary pianos, the library includes a suite of atmospheric tools to enhance your compositions. This includes “Auras”—piano-sourced patches for gentle support—as well as piano percussion for organic rhythmic backdrops and an ambient noise floor to add warmth and texture to your tracks. Each note’s pitch and velocity have been carefully centered by ear in Kontakt to ensure musicality while preserving the original aged charm.
