Nightfox Audio Grand Piano Suite

An incredibly inspiring instrument.

Grand Piano Suite is a stack of grand pianos, recorded on every key at 3-5 unique velocities. A full ten foot grand piano in a huge chamber, an old upright grand piano with felt, and a vintage electric grand piano with mics and direct to tube amps. Blended together, they become a rich sonic landscape to add depth to any track. Real instruments in real spaces with all the functionality of a synthesizer and full effects.

GRAND PIANO SUITE

A grand piano is an incredibly inspiring instrument, and to sit in the same room with one is truly a memorable experience. We give you an instrument that started in those rooms with real mics, but then we leave it to you to create something new when you blend them together.

We decided to take on the monumental task of recording each of these grand pianos on every key, not skipping notes and pitch shifting, but staying true to the integrity of the instrument, at 3-5 unique velocities. Use them as solo instruments or blend them in infinite configurations to create brand new hybrid tones.

CREATIVITY

We build instruments that drive your creativity and nudge you towards innovation in your music. Nightfox Audio plugins are designed to let you stack up to 12 instruments to create brand new hybrid sounds within seconds, and then you can shape your tones with plenty of onboard fx so you can find inspiration quickly. All of our plugins have an arpeggiator and a melody builder that help you perform sounds you may not be able to recreate based on your skills and available instruments. These tools can unlock your creative potential so you can bring to life what’s been playing in your head.

CHARACTER

We build virtual instruments with character. There’s something special about the way sound waves interact with strings and wood. Real instruments have unpredictable artifacts, overtones, and harmonics, so we retained all of those nuances to bring you a tool that inspires you to create something truly unique.

QUALITY

At Nightfox Audio we believe virtual instruments should sound and feel like real instruments. That’s why we used the best mics and preamps, hired on the best session players, and we’ve sampled every key, string, and fret, with a full velocity range, so you have the power of a full recording studio with you wherever you go.
