Brian Funk aka AfroDJMac, has shared a new free instrument for Logic Pro & Ableton Live: the 100 Year Old Piano.
Here’s what he has to say about it:
I have a Kranich and Bach piano from 1913, that has tons of character, mechanic noises, and soul. I sampled every key and built sampled instruments that capture the spirit of this beautiful piano.
While there are many pristinely recorded, technically-perfect pianos available in just about every DAW, they don’t have this piano. They don’t have these idiosyncrasies, these specific noises some of the hammers make, or the spirit of the players that left this piano behind. So I wanted to capture that and give it to you.
Here’s an example of the 100 Year Old Piano in action:
It’s Funk’s 175th free Live Pack. See the AfroDJMac site for this and other free instruments.
About as old as mine. The idea was nice, but then I saw the size: 80 MB… it’s both a waste and a pity, considering how much time they must have spent on the project.
