KeyPleezer releases LivingRoom Upright Piano (Complete) - a versitile character upright

KeyPleezer just released the LivingRoom Upright Piano Complete Edition, for KONTAKT / multi-format.

LivingRoom Upright Piano is a character upright piano library for Kontakt sampler that embodies the essence of a naturally sounding piano as it is when played for a few months since tuning. Instead of a perfectly tuned grand piano, or an out of tune honky-tonk, this piano is an alternative that recreates an analog, organic sounding piano with dissonance here and there. A versatile all-round piano with a realistic sound, useful in everything from classical music, rock, latin, pop to hip-hop and EDM.

The original piano is a large body vintage upright from a South Swedish local piano maker, that was tuned to around 98% perfection for a realistic and natural piano sound. It was sampled in 3 close stereo microphone positions. The first one in "player position", the second one below the keyboard and the third on the rear of the piano. The sound is the most dry sound we could make and embodies the closest and most intimate sound of the piano.

The 3 close microphone positions give you a wider range of options in the stereo image and tone/response of the sound. While the top position, the player position, gives a quite close image of the sound in front of you as you sit and play, the second position was recorded below the keys and gives a more bright nuance and less stereo width. The third close position was recorded on the rear of the piano body, at the openings on the back and the sound is distinctly warmer and less bright.

All internal components and behaviours of the original piano was captured through hyper-sampling of the piano's acoustical components. String dampening, mechanical key release sounds, pedal sounds and behaviour, string and piano body resonances were captured multiple times to give a nuanced and realistic sound and fully recreate the original instrument.
