A REAL PIANO, ONLY SMALLER

Petit Piano is a small 50-key children's piano made by the French manufacturer Klein, the only children's piano of this size. It has a real wooden keyboard and a two-string system, so it sounds close to a full-size upright piano and not like a toy - ideal for scoring French-style art films.

Around 859 samples, with 6 velocity layers for the sustain and 6 for the releases, key noises, pedal noises, pedal down resonances and sympathetic resonances.

Big piano features

It is a small piano, but we wanted it as realistic as possible, so it has our top piano features: sympathetic resonances, true pedal action, and accurate release samples for great sounding staccatos.

Key noises, resonances, releases and pedal noises were all recorded, and every one of them has its own volume on the interface.

Tone, reverb and response

A built-in tone control makes the piano brighter or darker, and the reverb uses high quality impulse responses that you choose from the interface, with full control over its dry and wet levels.

Three MIDI controls adapt it to your keyboard: the dynamics, a velocity curve and a MIDI curve. It also has a sostenuto pedal, on MIDI controller 66 by default.

Effects

Tone: a brighter or darker sound

Reverb: the reverb level, with control over the dry and wet volumes

IR: the impulse response used by the reverb

MIDI

Dynamics: the volume of the low velocities

Vel Curve: how the volume responds to the velocity of your keyboard

MIDI Curve: a velocity remapper

Sostenuto Controller: the MIDI controller number that drives the sostenuto pedal (66 by default)
