Phase Aligned Grand Piano from SSO
by Signal Experiments / Mattias WestlundUploaded on Apr 13, 2017 (and last updated on Apr 14, 2017)
An update to the Grand Piano included in the Mattias Westlund's Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra. The velocity layers are phase aligned, allowing smoother dynamic transitions via velocity crossfading, which in turn makes the piano more expressive.
The Shrine Piano v1.3 (Sampled Grand Piano SFZ)
by Michael PicherUploaded on Mar 27, 2017 (and last updated on Mar 27, 2017)
This SFZ sound set uses samples from a 7 ft Kawai grand piano that I recorded in a church. My goal was to make an expressive and versatile virtual piano that I could use in future projects.
Features include three sampled dynamic layers, corresponding release samples, and a pedal sound for added authenticity.
(The panning of the samples is rather narrow, so I like to use a binaural pan filter to increase the spread by 50% or more.)

Xylo Piano 1.1 (SFZ)
by Michael PicherUploaded on Feb 11, 2017 (and last updated on Feb 11, 2017)
This sound library is sampled from a toy that has two modes, which are obviously "Piano" and "Xylophone". You can access these modes via key switches.
I made this virtual instrument so that is played back exactly like the original toy, right down to the quirk that necessitates that you press the keys down with a bit of force, in order for the hammer to hit the bells. If you don't, then you'll just hear the keys flailing and no tone.
This is a great oddity to add amongst ...

ElecOrg Lite 1.1.1 (SFZ)
by Michael PicherUploaded on Dec 16, 2016 (and last updated on May 09, 2017)
UPDATED! (May 5, 2017) I fixed some tuning issues and removed a few bad notes. Fixed volume value in Bass.
Embrace the fun sound of this virtual electronic organ, sampled from a spinet organ that was likely built in the late 70s!

8-Bit Chip
by Michael PicherUploaded on Sep 29, 2016 (and last updated on Jan 27, 2017)
I wanted to create a simple and straightforward means to mimic the nostalgic beeps and boops of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Instead of needing to create separate tracks for each voice, this SoundFont puts all the different sounds within the range of an 88-key keyboard.
Built into this SFZ instrument are three Pulse (Square) wave variants, as well as Triangle and Noise wave sounds. Also included are various effects that will alter the release and pitch of each...
Upright Piano (Recorded Binaurally)
by Michael PicherUploaded on Sep 02, 2016 (and last updated on Sep 06, 2016)
Unlike other virtual pianos, this one will give you the sensation of sitting at the piano bench directly in front of the keys. This effect is best experienced when you wear headphones. Features include samples for when the damper pedal is both up and down, sampled releases, and even damper pedal sounds that all recorded binaurally from a playing position!
Update: Added sampled key release sounds.
