Upright Piano

Upright Piano is a free virtual piano instrument plugin (ROMpler) featuring a sampled Kawai Upright Piano.

The samples were recorded in 44.1kHz 16bit audio quality. With 2 velocity layers per sampled note, Upright Piano is ideal for simple piano lines. It has a sharp and fuzzy sound that fits well in dark and sad melodies, in genres such as Trap, Hip Hop & RnB.

For elaborate scores, we recommend our Grand Piano XXL plugin.

Upright Piano sports an easy-to-use GUI. You will notice typical controls such as attack & release, global gain, also a simple reverb. The “Tremolo” section consists of an LFO section with LFO destination (pitch, expression, or pan), rate & depth. There’s also a simple lowpass/highpass filter with cutoff.

If you’re wondering what’s that “Key” little knob, it simply sets the gain for keys release noises.
