Charakter Piano Collection
Six Inspiring Pianos
The Charakter Piano Collection is an assortment of six different pianos - each one with a strong character suitable for lots of purposes. Whether you are looking for a warm piano that creates intimacy to fit in your sound, looking for a strong upright with lots of options or you like to play very soft and fragile pianos the Charakter Piano Collection offers you a variety of 6 pianos.
The pianos are:
Curbed Piano
The Curbed Piano is a brand new approach of recording and playing pianos. The idea behind it is to insert a thick piece of fabric or felt between the hammer and the strings. By playing the piano you achieve a very warm and damped piano sound with a very dominant hammer sound. The sound is very intimate and organic. Additional features are reverse sounds and stuttering sustain.
Intimate + Piano (updated version)
In 2018 we have updated the intimate piano to the Intimate +“ version. Instead of adding fx sounds to the piano, you can now add the realistic sound of the hammer (while hitting the strings) to the piano. Beside the option to control the volume of this hammer sound you can control the decay and tone of it. Additionally, you can also mix a set of reverse sounds to it.
Intimate Piano
Intimate Piano is a specially recorded set of samples of our beloved Zeither & Winkelmann upright piano. We recorded the piano with a field recorder lying on the ground of it. We have restricted ourselves to record just a very low and gentle velocity level of the piano. This kind of playing along with the unique recording setting results in its charming, warm and intimate sound.
Practice Piano
The Practice Piano is definitely more than a piano you use just for practice. Recorded in the academy for arts in music in Brisbane/ Australia we are coming out with a piano that sounds real and vibrating. It is very raw and comes along with a „granny“ option that morphs its sound to an old Yamaha piano out of the cellar, where one of us did his first steps :) The sound dirty and vintage.
Upright Piano
This is our lovely and beloved Zeither & Winkelmann Piano. Our own studio piano is a bright and high quality upright piano for contemporary uses. With editing functions reduced to the main need. You do not have to tweak a lot to get the sound you are aiming for a nice and warm Piano sound that works just fine for everything.
Soundboard Piano
The soundboard piano is based on the deconstructed piano. We picked certain carefully sampled layers and put them into a new instrument. You have a knob that lets you morph the sound, so it individually fits in your mix. With the soundboard, you get a whole new Piano that sounds somehow familiar but completely different.

SYMPHONIC: Gambastard
Rude Bass Strings
This instrument fills up the low-end of your symphonic range. It consists of several low-register string instruments, like Double Bass and Viola da Gamba, which were played with mallets instead of typical bows. This creates a characteristic and deep sound in the lower octaves that you are able to control in the engine.

SYMPHONIC: Hammered Violin
Charming Air
In KLANG’s recording room they have a lot of xylophone mallets and old broken piano hammers lying around. KLANG wanted to create a different type of violin sound, so they played a violin with a piano hammer and a xylophone mallet instead of the typical bow. They ended up with a unique violin sound. Additionally, they programmed a sequencer so that you can easily play rhythmic patterns in any way you like.

SYMPHONIC: Raising Strings
Dynamic Vortex
For this instrument, KLANG sent a Pizzicato Solo Violin and a hammered Viola da Gamba through various delay effects to create a rhythmic pattern that is tempo-synced. The other sound source is a digitally down-tuned, legato, violin patch which was also sent through various modulating effects.
You can easily blend those two patches into each other, by controlling two of the three main controllers. The middle one changes the overall tone. Additionally, you have LoFi, distortion, delay and 9 different reverb types.
