Upright Pianos by SoundEngine is a small collection of vintage Upright Pianos. We visited a group of upright pianos and captured their homey sound.
There’s a lot of character, a lot of depth, a bit of intonation, but heaps of playability in this unique sample library.
Captured using vintage Cole Ribbon microphone and clip-on Sony mics, the unique approach to recording these pianos capture the years of history residing within the black and whites.
Please note: FULL retail version of Kontakt 6.7 is required. NOT for Kontakt Player. Also available for Logic Sampler.

We also then created tunings of each keyboard mapping that were tuned against a chromatic strobe tuner. Electronic musicians might think that one should tune a piano by using a chromatic tuner to tune each note.
Unfortunately, this leads to something called “inharmonicity” and makes an acoustic piano sound a bit strange. Ideally, low notes on an acoustic piano are tuned a little flat, and high notes are tuned a little sharp. The tunings SoundEngine created in this manner are really for layering with other electronic sounds when a desired precision and elimination of any “frequency beating” is occurring.
Listen to the demos – if want a unique, expressive piano tone in your composition, this bargain-priced collection is well worth the small investment.
