🎹 This is NOT a Piano – A Revolutionary Acoustic Experiment! 🎶

Dive into an unconventional sonic journey where sound design meets piano resonance in the most innovative way possible! 🚀 “This is NOT a Piano” is not just another sample library—it’s a bold reimagining of acoustic immersion, blending otherworldly textures with the organic vibrations of a piano’s soundboard.

🎛️ What Makes This Instrument Unique?

We flipped the script! Instead of manipulating piano sounds, we designed original sounds and played them THROUGH a piano, capturing its natural resonance. The result? A mesmerizing hybrid that defies expectations.

🔥 Key Features:

✔ 20 Deeply Textured Articulations – From ethereal pads to punchy impacts, each sound excites the piano’s resonance in unexpected ways.
✔ True Pedal-Down Resonance – Press the sustain pedal, and the sound blooms naturally, just like a real piano (but it’s not!).
✔ Independent “Sustains” & “Pedal-Down” Layers – Mix, match, and layer articulations for endless creativity.
✔ Keystroke Samples – Feel the tactile response of a piano, even though you’re playing something entirely different.
✔ Ambisonic & Stereo Recordings – Ultra-immersive 3D sound for next-level spatial depth.

🔮 The Sound Design Process: Pushing Boundaries

We teamed up with Cinematic Alpha and used their cutting-edge DOVInst technology to craft 20 unique sound sources from scratch. Our goal? To challenge the piano’s resonance with rich, frequency-diverse sounds that bring its soundboard to life in unprecedented ways.

🎙️ The Recording Setup: A Speaker-Filled Piano!

To capture the pure resonance of the piano, we transformed it into a speaker playground:

• Multiple monitors pointed at the strings, body, and base.

• Ambisonic mics + 4×414 & 4xC451B for ultra-detailed recording.

• Pedal-down & semi-pedal positions to preserve harmonic richness.

The result? A one-of-a-kind library that bridges electronic sound design with organic acoustic response.
