Looks interesting. It’s curious that the website doesn’t appear to show the size of the sample library.

Why do I need a felt piano again?

Same question I ask myself for every piano and drum library I buy! But I do love the sound of felt pianos and this one is different. I have really enjoyed the libraries that Jon Meyer has generously given away free.

Use the Celeste pedal in Pianoteq. 
Instant felt.

I'm gonna have to look into what the deal with felt piano is as I haven't paid it much attention. What are some of its most useful.. uses?

It depends on how extreme the felting is. "Heavy" felt can transform the sound into something thick, soft, and plummy. I prefer a lighter felt which just mellows/tames the attack. My upright used to have a light felt, and it could almost feel like playing a rhodes at times. Alas, it wore through and was replaced with a really thick felt that's kinda deadened it.

 

TLDR; a felted piano is a thing of beauty!

But it is modeled felt ?

[Fleer]

Always felt modeled in a way.

I've noticed that if you use a compressor on a felt piano track, all those mechanical artifacts get amplified, kind of hard to deal with.

But I have three of them and I dig the intimate tone.
