  • Prepared Pianet | sound-dust

    A brutalised Hohner Pianet T - recorded 3 ways. Sample libary for Kontakt VSt Prepared Pianet £30 A plebeian Pianet T : poked, prodded and pampered produces powerful, pleasing and pretty perverse powered pianic possibilities. 3 Kontakt instruments - Prepared Pianet, 3 X Muted Pianets and 3 X Acoustic Pianets 46 instrument snapshots 280mb download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.5.1 or above. add to cart Sounds like forgotten out-takes from Bitches Brew sessions discovered after 40 years under a damp blanket at the back of Joe Zawinul’s garage. This little marvel comprises three instrument sets – acoustic, muted and amped. Each set features a number of fully tweakable sounds which can be edited, blended together and given the full Sound Dust treatment to create your own unique Prepared Pianet. As with all Sound Dust instruments the Prepared Pianet is rich with possibility. The audible charms and eccentricities of classic tine and pickup electric pianos are utilised and brought under the control of the player as never before. mid Reminded me of my old Pianet T, which I played through an elderly Selmer 100 watt valve head (turned up to eleven, of course) and a 4x12 speaker cab with a couple of torn cones. The resulting overdrive and feedback blotted out three guitars and drums leaving just me and the bass in a body pummelling groove. I thought that sound was lost in time, but it’s possible once more and at much lower volumes with the Prepared Pianet. Dean- Quietland Prepared Pianet Prepared Pianet - a sample library for Kontakt VST The gubbins Prepared Pianet - a sample library for Kontakt VST- RTFM Prepared Pianet - a sample library for Kontakt VST Prepared Pianet Prepared Pianet - a sample library for Kontakt VST The gubbins 1/5 All sounds were carefully sampled from the source instrument, a Hohner Pianet T, using three techniques; Very close mic-ed for acoustic harmonics and dissonance, muted with a finger placed delicately on each tine for a thumb piano feel, and through high quality pre-amps. As with other Sound Dust instruments the results can be thought of as a self-contained orchestra of the surreal. The Prepared Pianet offers superb standard electric pianos and heavily processed tines. Stratospheric pads are under-laid with electronic tweets and chatter. Played lower down the scale, a muted piano becomes an unstable electro bass. Whacked out opportunities abound, from evolving electronics, snappy acoustics and indescribable musical tones and frequencies. The percussive blasts and tinkling subtleties which can be achieved inspire the imagination. Whats Inside ?

Seven velocity layers of binaural recording add up to around 500mb of samples. There's a wee video of her in action which tells you more about her than can be put into words. Originally designed and manufactured in Scotland in the 1800's, and with allegedly only 2000 in existence the DULCITONE is a portable keyboard that was made for missionaries to hump around remote African village churches to help perk up hymn services. It has a very basic piano action with spring-loaded felt covered hammers striking small magnet shaped tuning forks. A bit like a Fender Rhodes electric piano without the electric bits, and has a very lovely woody, clonky glockenspiel/celesta kind of sound. dulcitone 1900² dulcitone 1900² dulcitone 1900² dulcitone 1900² 1/6 down What's Inside ?

Loving the dark clankiness of the new one' - James & Pablo - TOYDRUM - emmy nominated for SLOW HORSES mid PLATO is built around two principles... 1. every note has its own pattern sequencer - you can hold a chord and trigger a different rhythm sequence for each note - great for surprising polyrhythms. Each note can also play a different selection of articulations. See video below for an easy explanation. 2. a network of subtle to dramatic interactions; sounds, frequencies, transients, levels and effects can all interact with each other in surprising ways. It is an instrument you try and steer. Fortunately the complex stuff is under the hood, you use the intuitive GUi to wrangle new ideas and bend new sounds without getting bogged down with details. Merge and melt the unexpected into ravishing new music with a daft grin on your face.... ELECTRO IDIOPHONE Same PLATO engine but loaded with a different kettle of fish (!) Two instruments from different centuries that share DNA. Both are fake 'pianos' that make a noise using a keyboard and a piece of tuned metal. THE ARTICULATIONS Fender Rhodes MK 1 - only 50 or so years old, so the youngster here - bright and beautiful Dulcitone 1884 - an early model of Thomas Machels 'portable' piano - crude and gorgeous Dulcitone 1900 - range lowered by an octave - dank bell like vibes Nord Modular G2 Rhodes - Ok, this is a faked fake piano but it adds a lovely warmth and depth that complements the 'authentic' fake pianos. WHATS GREAT The joy of the PLATO engine is that like it's namesake (or Norman Bates, Walter White, The Incredible Hulk etc) it has at least two sides. Yes, it can be a fantastic 'normal' Dulcitone or EP, but you can also take those haunting bell like tones on the journey of a life time.
