- Lowpass and Highpass filters
- Delay, phaser, and chorus effects
- A "wow" effect for emulating the sound of old records or cassettes
- An easy-to-use Octave Shift button that leads to a whole new world of sampled piano sounds
- A powerful convolution algorithm featuring reverbs, speakers, and effects.
- 24b files for an even lower noise floor. 

I sampled my awesome, warm, slightly out of tune DIY Felt Piano and made a multisample, multi-mic instrument.

Recorded with Beyerdynamic M 201 TG microphones thru Neve 517 preamps.

The instrument features two controllable mic placements that lead to a variety of possible tones: 

Front: intimate, hammer heavy

Back: less attack, more ambient, almost natural reverb feel

Contains individual, unique samples for every key, including multiple dynamic levels and round robins.

I’ve also built in attack time control for an otherworldly piano sound and control over the release hammer volume level.
