Video: Lo-fi Tape Piano (sample pack)

Lo-fi Tape Piano from Dehli Musikk includes the sound of a Louis Zwicki Pianette recorded with cassette tape recorder through 3 different microphones. The preamps of the tape recorder are slightly overdriven and the tape adds compression and harmonics as well as wow and flutter (pitch variation).

If you want the sound of a perfectly voiced and regulated grand piano, this may not be the samples for you. This is more like a Mellotron / Chamberlin version of the Pianette.

The sample pack includes 328 .WAV samples (637.8 MB) and 3 .EXS files (295 KB).

Microphones: Televerket Elektrisk Bureau (Telephone mic), JTS CX-516 (Gooseneck mic inside) andAKG C451E (Stereo pair)

Tape recorder: Fostex X-28H

DAW: Logic Pro X

Samples info: Single sample per key (2 for AKG stereo pair) per microphone (328 samples in total), Bit depth: 24bit, Sample rate: 48kHz

All the sounds in the examples are made exclusively with samples from this package. The reversed piano in the beginning of the intro (first 14 seconds) uses samples that's reversed and altered in post-processing.
