CATTANEO Electric Piano

Description

CATTANEO Electric Piano is an authentic dreamlike experience. Sampled directly from Cattaneo’s custom-modified and “augmented” electric piano, it is nothing like any other electric piano you may have heard. With its HUMAN layer and press/release noises of the sustain pedal responding to your midi pedal, you’ll feel like you were playing the real instrument. Additionally you can engage 2 sound design layers to add swells, granular polyphony and an extra color layer, created by sampling tuned crystal glasses. Use them combined or solo to achieve unique, surprising results. Engage the cassette tape noises and wobble FX to enter a lo-fi world, add rhythm and movement with the arpeggiator, top-class reverb algorithms, delay, and 3 built-in pedal FX with 6 different FX types to choose. All you need to create beautiful piano music and beyond.
