A Stellar Piano Collection for Reason!

The Reason Pianos ReFill gives you three amazing-sounding, highly realistic, hypersampled acoustic pianos with the kind of presence and playability you normally wouldn't associate with sampled pianos. Where other piano libraries leave you with a fixed piano sound that may or may not suit your project, the Reason Pianos ReFill does just the opposite: these pianos were recorded using multiple microphones, leaving the mixing and shaping of your piano sound up to you.

Propellerheads Reason Pianos ReFill at a Glance:

• Three pianos with pop and rock-friendly sound
  
• Sampled using six different sets of microphones
  
• Easily fit into a mix with total control over ambience and mic balance
  
• Sound great without choking your computer's resources

Three pianos with pop and rock-friendly sound
The featured pianos were chosen for their classic pop and rock friendly sound; The Steinway D is considered to be the world's finest grand piano, the Yamaha C7 is a classic rock and jazz piano with a distinctive sound, and the Steinway K is a well balanced upright known for its deep tone. These instruments were hand-picked and then tuned and adjusted to perfection.

Sampled using six different sets of microphones
The three pianos reproduced in the Reason Pianos ReFill were recorded in large, hardwood floored recording rooms, the perfect environment for pop piano recordings. In order to capture every aspect of the instruments - from the way they resound in the room to their unique timbres and characteristics - they were all recorded at multiple velocity levels, from multiple angles, using six different sets of microphones. A quality blend of vintage and modern day technology was used throughout the recording process, for that warm, yet crystal clear sound.

Easily fit into a mix with total control over ambience and mic balance
The Piano with its wide tonal range and broad frequency spectrum is a notoriously tricky instrument to fit into a mix. Not with the Reason Pianos ReFill! The four stereo pairs and the two separate mono microphones used to record the pianos are all represented as individual channels in Reason's mixer, allowing you to tailor your piano sound to suit the other elements in your songs. Use plenty of mics or just a few, whatever sounds best. The mono ribbon mic signal alone might be perfect for a busy track. Need more bass? Simply bring up the floor microphones a notch. Or, give the individual mics some EQ or compression or other FX. For further sound sculpting, use the Combinator's front-panel rotaries and buttons to control release resonance, presence, dynamics and more.

Sound great without choking your computer's resources
The Reason Pianos ReFill does not seek to deliver a set of clinically perfect, scientifically reproduced concert pianos in a box. These are pianos you can use. Pianos to play. Pianos that simply sound good - without filling up your hard drive or chewing up all your RAM. These hypersampled pianos are sophisticated and highly responsive instruments - play softly or put some weight into it, and you'll feel it.
