A Close, Delicate and Detailed Upright Piano. Renowned jazz artist and Mercury Prize nominee Gwilym Simcock performed this Felt Piano. Recorded dry at Spitfire Studios, soft felt was placed between the hammers and strings. It offers condenser, ribbon, and hammers signals. There are ten presets, ranging from dry and close to reverberant and pad - like. You can control the ADSR and sustain pedal level. Signals include a pair of large diaphragm condenser microphones for a full and present tone, a pair of vintage ribbon microphones for a warm and rounded tone, and a set of hammer - focused sounds for added performance depth. Presets are Ribbon Reverb, Up Close, Half and Half, Piano Pad, Reverse, Short Space, Marcato Attack, Ribbon Reverb (Extended Dynamics), Up Close (Extended Dynamics), and Half and Half (Extended Dynamics).
