Piano Page

The parameters on this page affect the overall sound of the felt piano, allowing you to add more character to the sound. You can add typical piano noises, such as the pedal noise, for example, and set up their level.

The Piano page with the page buttons at the top and the Piano controls below.
Distance

Blends between the close and room microphone systems that were used for recording.

  • All the way to the left, you only hear the close and direct sound.

  • If the control is in the center position, you get a mix of the close and room signals.

  • The more you turn the control to the right, the more the close sound disappears and the room microphones become prominent.

Color

Adjusts the brightness of the piano sound.

  • If you turn the control to the left, the sound gets warmer and darker, if you turn it to the right, the sound gets brighter and more focused on the high frequencies.

Compression

Adds compression to the sound.

  • All the way to the left, the compressor lets the attack through and makes the transient sound even harder.

  • If the control is in the center position, no compression is applied.

  • All the way to the right, the transient is compressed heavily, making the piano sound softer and more sustaining.
