[New release] The Oeser, piano library for NI Kontakt

[Key Instruments]

Key Instruments

 

We are a new Dutch developer of virtual instruments for the Native Instruments platform. 

And we are very proud of our first release "The Oeser", which is a 150 year old Viennese baby grand piano with a very rich and intimate tone.

This piano was recorded @ the Key studios in the most pure way, with world class microphones and preamps. It is not an overproduced, polished piano, but just a very good piano with more character than Elton John. A true singer/songwriter piano, which will spark creativity by the unique sound and recording styles.

 

What you get

 

We have recorded the piano in 4 ways: Pure, Felted, Muted and Picked. Where the first 2 are fairly obvious, the Muted was accomplished by hand muting the strings which gave it a plucky sound and the Picked was done by playing the strings with a guitar pick which made the piano sound like a harpsichord.

This resulted in a gigantic NKS library of 30GB and is also compatible with the https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-6-player/free-download/. The 8 knobs of our simplified interface corresponds with the 8 knob layout of Native Instruments' midi keyboards.
