Description : Adam Monroe’s piano was taken from the (slightly used) open piano of Shafer and Sons VS-40 using Oktava Mk-012 (in cardioid scheme) and AEA Ribbon microphone in wide stereo mode in Grace M101 and AEA TRP preamps. The piano was chosen with both a small diaphragm condenser and tape microphones to fix both the transitional parts and the warmth of the vertical piano. This approach allows the user to mix the positions of the microphone in order to achieve a more percussive SDC sound or a relaxed tape heat, depending on the needs of the track. With the same microphone position in the piano library, a solid, real, balanced sound, useful for pop and solo piano compositions, is achieved.
The piano was selected with a cover and a front panel to further emphasize the sounds of the strings and hammer, and the microphones were located directly above the hammers at a distance from each other. Naturally, some phase problems arose, so the phase was inverted on tape microphones to allow bass frequencies to pass. The piano was recorded in a slightly reverberating room, a little about which you can hear in the position of the tape.
The vertical piano of Adam Monroe contains 10 levels of speed for each note, with 2 notes of round robin, which corresponds to approximately 3500 sound samples. The instrument includes built-in reverberation and some expected frequencies that can be activated using switches. Cuts with a center of 10.6 kHz and 13.5 kHz are frequencies in which the noise of a piano hammer predominates, and a 120 Hz cut is intended for cleaning mud in bass-heavy mixtures.
Our intention in developing this library was to create a piano voice that was pierced and clean, without the sound of sterility or boredom. We believe that the end result is a discrete vertical piano that fits perfectly into mixes that do not sound clean or fake, and it has enough presence to breathe life into pop rock and rock tracks, and be versatile enough to be good sound like a solo instrument.
The Kontakt Upright Piano version of Adam Monroe is cross-platform and supported by Native Instruments, all programs and effects are performed through them. Some simple scripts are executed by us. For the version of Kontakt you need the FULL version of Kontakt 5 or newer. You can use the (free) version of the player to “demonstrate” the instrument, but it will time out after 15 minutes. Variants VST, Audio Unit and AAX – this is another beast, and programming is completely dependent on AdamMonroeMusic. Our goal in any sample library, which is also VSTi (virtual instrument), audio device or aax plug-in, is to try to match the performance of Kontakt Player. With this library, we feel that we have done it.
Versions of VST, AU and AAX include updated high-performance algorithms that have been improved with every new virtual instrument released by Adam Monroe Music. For example, the buffering algorithm is binary and multithreaded, which means that the buffering performance is fast, even on slower computers and even at lower latencies. Voices are held and repeated in a clean C-Style array. The use of memory is comparable to the version of Kontakt (about 400 MB). Due to the solid VST / AU code base, you can be sure that the versions of VST, AU and AAX will work just as well as the version of Kontakt.
