8Diо Productions Bowed Grand Piano KONTAKT - Size : 1.35 GBWelcome
to Bowed Grand Piano - a library dedicated to deep sampling of bowed
and FX based grand piano strings. The bowing of a piano is a delicate
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 then our
Plucked Grand Piano, since the concept of bowed piano tends to go in the
more ambient/drony direction. We bowed every single string on a world
class grand, including both sustains and staccato notes.
We then
did a variety of ambient recordings and started developing an entire
drone section of the library, which is all based on source material from
the piano. In addition we added a massive FX section to the library,
which contains tons of string glisses, scrapes, scary slams and
percussive FX etc. We also programmed specific artificial legato, so
users can experiment by using legato on the instrument.
