The Detunized Laid Back Piano is now available in the Propellerhead Pro Shop
For this ReFill, every single string was recorded separately from a
number of different microphone positions. Three of the included
Combinators represent carefully tuned piano presets (Piano, Piano
Distance, Tiny Piano).
For another set of combinators, a lot of prepared
piano techniques were applied, like the sound of the strings with
printer paper clamped in-between, attached plastic tools, pillow-damped
plucking, and more.
Additionally six Combinators with untuned one-shots and atonal loops
are included in the Refill. These sounds were achieved by methods such
as throwing a variety of items into the piano housing, stroking a
thumb´s nail along the lower strings, and more. Furthermore, each person
that came along during the 3-day recording session was invited to
strike and knock on the piano body in order to end up with a collection
of suspenseful "Percussion" sounds.
