Piano Attack reviews

Piano Attack got some raving reviews, here is what the magazine’s are writing:
This library contains some fabulous other-worldly sounds and textures. Some are so heavily processed as to be un-recognisable, but that’s no bad thing. The processing is skilful and creative, and gives the library a contemporary edge you can’t get from a collection of purely acoustic piano noises. To prove the point, there’s also a collection of pre-programmed rhythm loops. Arranged in 16 graded-tempi programs with half and double-speed variations, the loops play bang in time and though many of them sound bonkers in isolation, the right combination of two or three can produce a terrific groove. Enormous fun, and an unexpected bonus from this unpredictable, sacrilegious and wildly inventive library.

You get truly original textures and beats. This is not a standard piano sample library; strings are plucked, brushed, threatened, struck, thwacked, and mated with alien beings. The results range from otherworldly (as in "heaven") to otherworldly (as in "hell"). I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of this library - and if you appreciate "esoteric-yet-highly useful," you will too.

If you want to inject some truly original sounds into your music and you dont mind exploring experimental timbral materials, Piano Attack might be just what your music needs to get out of its rut.

“Gedanken in die Tat umzusetzen, soll hier mit Audiodaten versorgt werden, deren Herkunft nicht immer sofort erkennbar ist, weil man sich im Zusammenhang mit diesem Instrument immer auf die schwarzen und weißen Tasten besinnt. Das zumindest ist eine Herangehensweise an ein Piano, die hier nur selten und wenn, dann auf jede andere als die von den meisten Musikliebhabern erwartete Weise angewandt wurde.”
Plus ++++ ungewöhnliche und interessante Klänge ++ Dokumentation dabei, hat aber nur grob beschreibenden Charakter
Minus - nichts zu meckern!
