Product Detail
The Sonuscore Chroma Upright Piano is a truly unique virtual instrument. It all started in a small studio a few years back. Our team was initially recording a grand piano, but an unassuming upright piano there caught our eye. Its distinct sound and emotional resonance were so captivating that we had to record it and share it with the world.
This isn't just any virtual piano. It's a blend of passion, serendipity, and meticulous craftsmanship. With a warm, mid - focused tonal character and a rich low - end, it offers a one - of - a - kind sound. It has multiple unique articulations like felt, muted, plucked, flageolet, and bowed notes. Recorded with a wide range of microphones, it provides a comprehensive sound experience.
The Chroma Upright Piano has a unique core engine that recreates the original sonority of the piano and also creates new and abstract soundscapes. With 27 velocity layers, it allows for nuanced and dynamic playability, and 91 presets to inspire your creativity.
This century - old piano from a renowned piano house has been lovingly restored with new strings, felts, and mechanics. The restoration not only kept it in tune but also preserved its authentic, vintage character. We've combined our coding expertise with this acoustic gem to give you a classic piano with modern features.
Unlike other virtual upright pianos, it has a raw, organic quality. The soundboard's resonance adds an emotional layer, making it great for intimate and expressive music. It's incredibly versatile, transitioning smoothly from delicate pieces to dynamic cinematic scores and contemporary rock and pop mixes.
The professional restoration ensures it retains its original charm while offering modern playability. The meticulous sampling of 27 dynamic layers captures the true character of this special piano. In a mix, it sits naturally without overpowering other elements, making it a valuable tool for producers.
Whether you're making heartfelt music, pop or rock hits, or powerful cinematic scores, this upright piano will bring unparalleled character to your compositions. It's also the perfect companion to the Chroma Grand Piano, offering a different sound for your musical productions. We've recorded a range of articulations that take it beyond the traditional piano, and adding mechanical detail and control sounds makes it even more realistic.
Using the Sonuscore Chroma Upright Piano is easy. First, load it into your music production software. You can choose from 91 presets to start your composition right away. If you want more customization, play around with the 27 velocity layers to add different levels of dynamics to your playing.
When using the unique articulations like felt, muted, plucked, flageolet, and bowed notes, experiment with them in different musical contexts to see how they can enhance your sound. You can also add mechanical detail and control sounds like Note On, Note Off, and Pedal to make your performance more realistic.
As for maintenance, since it's a virtual instrument, there's no need for physical upkeep. But make sure to keep your music production software and the instrument plugin updated to ensure the best performance. Also, back up your projects regularly to avoid losing any work. When mixing, the piano blends well naturally, but you can still adjust its volume and EQ slightly to fit it perfectly into your overall sound.
