The New Bowed Grand Piano For Kontakt VST-AU-AAX overview

  • Deep Cinematic Prepared FX Featured throughout countless blockbuster productions.

Welcome to The New Bowed Grand Piano – a library dedicated to the deep sampling of bowed and FX based Grand Piano.

The bowing of a piano is a delicate and precise effort. Since the instrument is not designed to be bowed we developed a variety of new recording techniques that allowed us to get deep inside the piano and record a variety of bowings and FX that haven’t been covered in previous libraries.

The library is more ambient than any of our other pianos. The concept of bowing a piano tends to go into the more ambient and drone design direction. We bowed every single string on a world class grand, including both sustains and staccato notes. There are no half measures to capturing full and deep emotion.

We then proceeded to capture a variety of ambient recordings and started developing an entire drone section of the library. Entirely based on source material from the piano itself. In addition to this, we added a vast FX section to the library. Containing a large array of string glissandos, scrapes, scary knocks and various percussive FX.

Textural Convolution Delay

Textural Convolution Delay is a new way of using convolution to create textural delays. The idea is to use non-conventional convolution impulses to augment the existing sound. So when the instrument delays – you will not just get a normal delay of the instrument, but also get the delay and texture of the convolution. This concept is called Textural Convolutions and we hand-crafted many new impulses for this technique. As with many of our inbuilt effects, the Textural Convolutions can also be randomized.

Internal Browser

The New Bowed Piano comes with a built-in browser. So no more loading countless independent files for everything you want to audition. You have everything right at your fingertips with the ability to select either, or many of our articulations with a few single clicks. The new internal browser features our latest A/B articulation control. This allows the user to not allow stack multiple articulations and sounds atop one another, but to independently route them to 2 different control chains. Each including, panning, envelopes, filter controls, tilt equalisers, and drive. Not only is this a great method for creating thick, lush and complex sounds. But the unique A/B method allowed you to creatively mix between the two using our LFO allowing an unparalleled level of control.

Front-Faced FX and Chaos FX

The New Bowed Piano contains two parallel FX systems. The first one is our Front-Faced FX, which allows you to control the most fundamental effects from the front panel (ex. Dynamics, Step-Based Filtering, Pitch, Delay, Crusher and our new Textural Delay). You can also go deeper with our Chaos FX system, which includes EQ, Bit-Crusher, Distortion, Dual Stereo-Delay and an additional convolution system on top of our custom Textural Convolution Delays.
