Rattly and Raw the Stupidly Huge Toy Pianos and Friends KONTAKT
Rattly and Raw the Stupidly Huge Toy Pianos and Friends KONTAKT | 1.36 Gb
A collection of 2 five octave toy piano instruments, 2 concert celestes, 2 normal toy pianos, a set of suspended tines and a simple prepared piano! Toy pianos are usually limited to being a great little additional tinkly instrument, but with usually only a few keys, a simple additional colour at best!
We were not going to be put off by the annoyingly small key range of normal toy pianos! We loved the sound and wanted to expand the tiny key-range of this childish characterful sound into, well, a huge key-range of childish characterful sound. Two massive 5 octave toy pianos constructed from genuine toy piano recordings, loose tines, prepared piano recordings, celeste recordings, multiple mic positions, convolution based body resonance and lots of tweaking.
NOT reliant on pitch shifted and stretched samples, this unique instrument carries the characteristics of a tiny toy piano across a previously unheard of range. The celestes were also recorded with a MUCH closer perspective than usual giving an intimate, detailed sound unlike most other recordings! The close mic was moved to EVERY tine to keep definition and maximise character! Different and very usable! Turn up the C-DUCER contact mics to get INSIDE the instruments that feature them!
Also included are the two multi-sampled concert celestes as separate instruments with their full sustain, two toy pianos as individual instruments with an additional suspended tines instrument, and a prepared piano instrument also! There's also a very useful velocity control manager, two custom made convolution reverbs and some lofi/fx controls with processing specially voiced for The Stupidly Huge Toy Pianos And Friends!
