Everything you always wanted to do to a piano but were afraid to try. A new and unique collection of hammered, beaten, prepared and abused pianos. Piano Attack features sounds from a wide range of prepared and 'abused' pianos. Rather than wrecking your own piano in an attempt to get these unusual sounds, we 'liberated' pianos from their black and white keys and recorded every possible sound in our studios, and yes, we even destroyed one piano completely. This is a unique sound library for composers, musicians and sound designers. The range of this unique sound library is enormous, from a simple brush of the hand over the strings to very complex sounding beats, phrases, hits, atmospheres, zings, loops and even demolition sounds. Piano Attack will definitely infect you!

*210 EXS24 patches

Electronic Musician | 5/5 - EM Hot Pick
When I was in college, my freshman music history teacher introduced the class to avant-garde by playing an excerpt from John Cage's "Bacchanale," a piece composed in 1938 for prepared piano. Half the class was fascinated, and the other half was appalled-typical reactions...
