THE LOBBY PIANO
PLAYABLE TECHNIQUES
FOR KONTAKT 6, KONTAKT 5, DECENT SAMPLER, SFORZANDO
Merry Xmas 2021 from Man Makes Noise!
​
The Lobby Piano is a small grand piano in a lobby. I originally recorded said piano for The Lobby Piano Omnisphere library and ever since it’s release I have had plans to go back and record more from said piano. I have been unable to do so due to Covid restrictions, so I decided to go through the material I already recorded and find the most interesting sounds from there.
I chose 10 different styles and techniques from the original recordings. As nothing was recorded chromatically I had to construct the samples for each of the 10 techniques with sound design trickery. Each of the 10 techniques is now “recorded” in triads for a chromatic range with 4-5 velocity layers, no round robins.
So there is very little naturally recorded material in this piano. This is not a complete piano, but a colours and flavors type of additional piano.

Pricing
Don't be fooled by the 1€ price tag! The library is free and thus it will always be. Now you will have to use the code FREEXMAS on check out (it takes 100% off the price).
​
Hold on, why a price and code?
My ecommerce platform is Gumroad and they have a size limit for free downloadable products. The Lobby Piano - Playable Techniques is larger than that limit. Hence the code of FREEXMAS.
