Paper Stone Instruments - Palm Mute Piano

The PSI Palm Mute Piano is a unique Kontakt instrument created by meticulously sampling a Grand Piano using finger dampening to create what is essentially a brand new instrument.

Recording Equipment

• Close - C414 B-ULS, API 3124MB preamp, Prism converters

• Stereo - Neumann KM184 pair, Focusrite ISA Preamps, Prism converters

• Room - Pair of Neumann U87 AI, API 3142MB preamp, Prism converters

Recorded in a lush warm space

The Piano has been sampled in 3 individual articulations to create the widest range of tones possible, staccato, sustained, and the epic sounding pedalled. The recordings have also been made using 3 microphone positions which can be individually controlled and blended to maximise the range of obtainable sounds and effects. 

Palm Mute Piano was recorded in Studio 2 of Paper Stone Studios in Nottingham, UK, a converted cinema auditorium dating back to 1914 with incredible acoustics. This combined with with a class A signal chain has given the PMP a beautifully captured rich and characterful sound all of its own.

The piano was sampled within a keyrange of A-1 to C5
