Spitfire Audio Originals Cinematic Soft Piano (Digital product)

Spitfire Audio Originals Cinematic Soft Piano captures the delicate essence of a felted upright Yamaha U3 piano, recorded in the stunning reverberant acoustics of AIR Studios, London. This virtual instrument offers a uniquely intimate and cinematic piano sound, perfect for composers and producers seeking warmth and character in their music.

The piano was recorded using three distinct microphone perspectives to provide a range of tonal options:

• Close: A trio of valve microphones positioned near the hammers delivering detailed, intimate sound.
• Mix: A blend of Tree and Ambient microphones capturing the majestic resonance of Lyndhurst Hall.
• Pad: Samples processed through magnetic tape and outboard effects, creating ethereal, ambient textures.

With five versatile presets—Intimate, Upfront, 50/50, Afterglow, and Washed Out—users can easily explore different moods, from direct and focused to dreamy and spacious atmospheres.

The instrument includes six easy-to-use controls for shaping the sound further:

• Expression: Controls overall dynamic range.
• Dynamics: Adjusts response to velocity for expressive play.
• Mod Wheel: Assignable for real-time modulation.
• Reverb: Adds lush, natural ambience.
• Tightness: Alters sample length for cleaner attacks.
• Hammers: Controls percussive hammer noise level.

Designed for effortless integration, this instrument supports major DAWs and NKS compatibility, making it an ideal choice for cinematic scoring, ambient textures, and expressive piano performances.
