By providing compact, themed libraries, Capsule ensures that every sound strikes the right chord, resonating with unmatched clarity and depth. These meticulously crafted sounds don't just complement your productions; they elevate them.

Black Ivory

Endlessly Expressive

Sampled from a Steinway Model D, Black Ivory is a concert grand with a difference. Not only can it convey the classical, elegant, and rich tones of a traditional grand; Black Ivory gives you 17 unique presets that switch up its sound with
cinematic variations, lush string combinations, and warped articulations. This instrument also includes two different mic settings to add space or intimacy to your mix.

Felt Piano

Intimate Prepared Piano

The soft and introspective sound of the prepared piano is essential for cinematic scoring. This capsule captures the intimacy of a felt piano, an instrument recorded with a sheet of soft felt placed between the hammers and the strings. Lovingly recorded at multiple velocity layers, the achingly delicate tones of this capsule will inspire the most emotive themes.

To widen the breadth of timbres available Capsule Audio also created hybrid patches, combining the piano sounds with a curated selection of other characterful instruments. Finally, Capsule Audio thoroughly abused their piano, placing a selection of objects between the strings which were then struck, scraped and plucked to provide expressive hits, textures and effects.

Use this capsule’s melodic piano patches for cinematic bliss or the atonal sounds for horrifying shocks. Whatever your project, Felt Piano provides swirls of inspiring notes.

Grapevine

Vintage Fuzz

If you need some retro keys with a soulful, smoky feel, this is the Capsule for you. Based on the unmistakable sound of the Wurlitzer 140B, Grapevine focuses on the dusty charm of the ‘60s and ‘70s, with a tone that is warm, full, and glazed in nostalgia. Get straight down to business with the default Wurlitzer sound, or shake things up with creative variations that blend its unique character together with synths, pads, strings, and more. Grapevine also gives you the option to choose between direct input and amp signals.

Solid Gold

The Midas Touch

Playing with Solid Gold is like coating every key you touch in honey - the sound is clean, versatile, and dripping in character. Sampled from a rare 1974 Classic E-Piano “Solid Gold”, this instrument can glide between jazz, pop, soul, and
funk - dazzling listeners as it goes with its colourful purr.

If you want a retro Classic E-Piano sound with a sprinkle of contemporary culture, Solid Gold lets you blend its well-known tones with modern effects and articulations. You can also switch your sound source between two signals: direct input and amp.
