Nami Audio Hammer and Felt v1.1 KONTAKT

Yes again, another piano library. And this one is not clean and perfect… This is why you'll like it! From the simplest upright piano, to a more intimate one and with experimental and lush sounds, Hammer & Felt will help you getting ideas as fast as never before.

With a simple yet effective interface, tweak the sounds to suit your composition or bring them to new sound design worlds. Including room noises, subtle breaths, key noises, tape hiss and much more, this library is full of fragility and personality.

1. HAMMER
A classic upright piano recording for general purposes to quickly get ideas out of your head and easily tell your stories.

2. FELT
The same piano but with the celeste pedal engaged which puts a felt layer between the hammers and the strings resulting in a much more fragile and purer.

Carefully recorded in an empty house in the middle of the night, both instruments were captured using a pair of Neumann KM184 microphones placed at ears height for a nice stereo imaging. While Hammer has the microphones placed at the player level, Felt has them as near as possible to the hammers so you can get all the mechanism sounds, imperfections and felt sweetness giving you the feeling of being inside the piano.

They include:
4 dynamic layers for easy playability and keyboard responsiveness
Release triggers and pedal on and off samples for more realism
Long silent room noise sample for adding on top of the composition to get back the authenticity of a real recording.
