Soniccouture have released
Bowed Piano - A unique new sampled instrument for
EXS24 and Kontakt.
First suggested by the composer Curtis Curtis-Smith in 1972, the Bowed Piano
technique uses flexible bows made from monofilament nylon fishing-line which
are then coated in rosin. The nylon is threaded under the strings, and the
performer can coax a sustained tone from the piano.
The Soniccouture Bowed Piano instrument was recorded using a 9 foot Baldwin
Grand, a popular model with Bowed practitioners. Each key has alternate
samples to prevent repetition of attack transients, and there are 3 articulations
per key - Normal bowing, Hard bowing, and short, staccato bows. The Normal
and Hard samples are looped long, for infinite sustain. When playing, you can
crossfade from normal to hard bowing using the mod-wheel, and the staccato
bows are activated via a keyswitch.
