DEEP FELT

NEXT GENERATION SOFT PIANO

18 Velocity Layers
Multiple Mics
Micro-Tuning
Kontakt player NKS

SOFT FOCUS. SHARP DETAIL.

Sampled felt pianos are emotional & atmospheric, but they can often be toy-like sample packs - often with a single velocity layer and very little detail.

We wanted to make a felt piano with all the sampled detail and expression you might normally find in a high-end sampled concert grand piano.

Deep Felt features 18 velocity layers, dual mics, multiple mechanical adjustment layers and sympathetic resonance. All of which allows you to dial in all the intimacy and expression you need.

"It's dark, it's emotional, it's super-playable"

Andre Louis, Pianist

THE KONTAKT INSTRUMENT

MAIN PANEL

Deep Felt features close + wide mic channels, each can be panned and routed to external DAW channels.

From here you can access the ADSR controls, the LFO, Tuning + Mechanics page.

MECHANICS PANEL

KEY-OFF
HAMMERS
PEDAL NOISE
FELT LAYER
SUSTAIN (SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE)

Deep Felt is highly customisable, with control over every detail of the pianos mechanics. The pianos response can also be tuned to your playing style, with fine control over both curve and layers. 'MODE' decouples the velocity curve from volume mapping for more flexibility when limiting layers.

THE TUNING PANEL

Deep Felt is equipped with a full micro-tuning system, if desired. You can try new tunings from a large selection of presets, or create your own, which will repeat across all octaves. You can save or load tuning files as well.

GENERATIVE TOOLS PANEL

WEAVER: RHYTHMIC TRAIL GENERATOR
JAMMER: GENERATIVE ARPEGIATOR

Weaver: Create unique rhythmic patterns for each note you play. A bit like a delay effect but evolves differently according to what you play - strands of sound weave in and out of each other.

Jammer: The latest evolution of our generative arpeggiator - Hold a chord, and let it evolve - or loop a section and jam between 12 sequences using the Jam wheel.

THE FX PANEL

3 USER CONFIGURABLE INSERT FX
4 BAND EQUALISER
SPACE MODULE WITH ALL SAINTS REVERB
