Cin-C – Cinematic Grand (3.4GB)

”This is a piano that doesn’t exist”

“Cin-C – Cinematic Grand” is a totally unique instrument that will inspire you to explore new musical boundaries or maybe just poor a glass of your favorite beverage and play and play and play…

It’s an instrument that breathes and resonates, but at the same time has the contact and clarity of a close miked instrument. This piano is totally unique, the fact that it doesn’t exists in the real world gives you a brand new sound texture to work with that you’ve never heard before. It is a Grand Piano, but a very, very beautiful one! Bells and whistles already applied – just load and be inspired!

The Bells & Whistles

Sampletekk wanted to make an instrument that was ambient but at the same time had the touch and exactness of a close miked instrument. Using ambient mikes only can lead to a great sound, but as a musician, you might experience a bit of inexactness in the attack.

Just blending two signals together didn’t really accomplish what Sampletekk wanted, so instead they used a combination of different sources, morphing and convoluting techniques that gave them the result they where after.

The resonance of a Grand Piano is very interesting! With all the dampers up, (by pressing the sustain pedal), all strings are undamped, so when hitting a note, you will get a very complex variation of sympathetic resonances from the strings and soundboard.

Sampletekk have captured that resonance and enhanced it so this instrument really, really breathes and sings!
