16 GB. One grand piano, recorded in Saal 3 of Berlin's Funkhaus, split into two instruments: Noire Pure and Noire Felt. The felt version puts a moderator between hammers and strings and softens every attack.
In a track
Pure takes the lead lines and exposed chords. Felt sits lower and adds weight without asking for attention. The particles engine pushes held notes toward a swirling pad, a good bed under a vocal.
Held-note Tension
Film composers who build tension from a single held note will lean on the particles engine more than they expect. Felt cut through a dense arrangement without crowding the strings.
Pianists looking for a practice instrument that responds like a real room should start with Pure. The velocity curve adjustments let you match the touch of a worn upright or a freshly regulated concert action. KOMPLETE KONTROL owners get the tightest integration — light guide feedback and pre-mapped controls cut setup to nothing.
Sound designers will stay for the tonal shift and sub-bass layer. Drag a piano into unfamiliar territory without leaving the interface.
Shift-drag Overtone
Hold Shift while dragging the overtone slider. It moves in finer increments.
The noise control adds more than room tone. A little hiss before the first note makes a quiet passage feel closer, more present.
