🎹 LOUNGE PIANO

LOUNGE PIANO is my custom Ableton Rack version of the great Lounge Piano from Pianobook with many improvements including added key, pedal, bench, breath, and room noise for extended expression.

To make it even more authentic, I used several Max4Live devices to assign samples to a midi sustain pedal. If you have one, it will also make some noises when you press and release it シ

I fixed that key release sounds were not being played while holding down the sustain pedal. In the Kontakt version, they just play after you release the pedal.

"The piano is a Kawaii upright, not old, not brand new, somewhere in-between.
Ted Kocher, Anthony Caruso, Scott Bergstrom, Nick Mastroianni, Chris Rossetti and Tao-Ping Chen sampled the piano mostly with the middle pedal down, which brings a layer of felt between the hammer and the strings."
