_ Hey, what's going on out there?
I'm Sean Divine.
Hope you all are doing well today
I'm going to share with you my top five grand piano libraries for
Kontakt now many of you have had questions about which grand pianos I use the most in my own productions
And I've spent many years diving through grand piano libraries trying to find the instruments that are the most expressive
_ Dynamic they fit well in the mix, and they're just playable and inspiring so I'm going to go through
I'm going to show you some of the interface customizations you have with these to [G] customize the sound but more importantly
I'm going to play them so that you can get an idea of what's possible with these great grand piano libraries
So let's dive in and take a listen first library
We're going to take a look at is the emotional piano from sound iron
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _
As you can hear it has a nice intimate tone [Bb] a lot of intricacies.
They're
Definitely useful for film scoring there's [Bm] also some handy controls on the front panel here you have controls for things like attack
You _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ also have a full effects rack so we can go over here and change things like the reverb
Or if we wanted to turn on tape saturation we could do that _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Very [Abm] inspiring and cool instrument so check this one out
Moving on we have the Braunschweig upright
This is from imperfect samples not much in the way of the GUI
It is just the straightforward contact interface, but the sound [Gb] is very cool very unique
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Next one on the list is Alicia's keys.
This is really just [N] a staple
It's included with the native instruments complete pack
And it fits in the mix in a wide [B] variety of different styles of music _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[E] _ [Gb] _ [Abm] _ _ _ So
If we switch over to our settings we can control things like our reverb
There's some cool convolution [A] reverb settings there.
You can also change the noise of the pedals _
Some different resonant options there so some good flexibility and [Ab] just a really great
Utility [G] piano to have in your library next piano on the list is the death piano.
This is quite a bit more
Unconventional than the other piano libraries I've included it has a lot of different presets
[D] And they're very interesting in their approach, but kind of have this creepy sort of eerie sound to them
So let's take a listen to this preset.
It's called articulate thoughts
So _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ you can hear as I keep that sustain pedal down we get this cool reverse effect [N] now if we click our settings
You can control different [Ab] layers that are included in these different presets
And there's also some controls here like if we want to
Use LFO on the pitch so this can make for some interesting
_ Effects here.
Let's just turn the [B] LFO amount up a little bit _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Inspiring library and it's going to fill some different [Abm] spaces for your piano needs
Last but certainly not least on the list is the studio grand piano le from production voices
This is probably my favorite in the entire list because it ends up in so many [Ebm] of my productions
But let's take a listen here _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
