Product Detail
What if you swap an upright piano's felt hammers for real metal - tipped ones? The Hammer Klavier is an avant - garde instrument that offers a brand - new sound. It has the dynamic responsiveness of a regular piano and far more versatility than a typical prepared piano. Created in collaboration with YouTuber and musical genius Mattias Krantz. Key features include a one - of - a - kind prepared upright piano, 6 dynamic layers with 2 round robins, 2 distinct stereo mic positions, 24 - bit pristine recordings, chromatic sampling of every key, key noises recorded at 5x RR, a streamlined modern UI, adjustable key, voice, and noise behavior, customizable dynamic response, extra sound design controls, adjustable microtuning and scales, and a console FX rack and mixer with dozens of modules. The sound is like a powerful, full - voiced harpsichord, with piano responsiveness and the percussive nature of a hammered dulcimer. It's both a fun experiment and a beautiful instrument to play. Sampled in great depth, it's as playable and realistic as a standard piano. Think of it as a custom upright piano with a unique voice, not just a sound design toolbox. The Engineer Series, starting with Hammer Klavier, is a collaboration with Mattias Krantz to bring unique instruments to musicians worldwide. The Console offers full control over your mix with a variety of effects and multiple FX slots per channel.
Using the Hammer Klavier is easy. Just power it on and start playing like you would a regular piano. You can adjust the key, voice, and noise behavior to suit your style. The dynamic response can be customized, so you can make it as lively or subdued as you want. For sound design, use the extra controls to create unique tones. When it comes to the console, load the effects you like in any order on each mic channel and the master channel. You can also use send routing to add more depth to your mix. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean environment. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice any issues, contact our support team right away.
