The story
This is my first contribution to the Pianobook community, I have been using pianobook from the initial days and am very thankful for its entire existence.
This is a Kontakt instrument of my workstation synthesizer called Roland XPS30. I recently sold this away, but just before letting it go, I had an idea to sample the patch which always used on it called Meditate Piano. The patch actually has 2 layers one is of a standard piano found in any workstation and the tail of flowing water-like sound. I recorded it using my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 in stereo with 3 velocity layers.

Full of promise
I like this one. Lots of sounds to play with. I have paid for piano libraries that are not as interesting as this one. It is a great inspirational tool, but it may not make it through to the final mix. I normally like to keep my piano sounds pure and clean.
A fantastic take on an ambient cinematic piano
This piano by default will give you the feels. It's a very nice executed idea of a piano with various signals going below it, such as delay, reverb and a lovely reverse effect, which is the only one you are not able to control. The sampling is very nice, and the sound signature is awesome by default. I recommend to everyone seeking for some inspiration about something melancholic or just straght touching. This is not mean to act as your typical piano, but since it has such a nice character, it would be awesome if you could just turn off all the effects to make it act like one.
nice
A great sound and a wonderful starting block for exploration. Whip into the editor, change the filter to Pro53, Replika to diffusion and increase the attack and release. Sublime.
Definitely worth the download!
I'm not sure how much I'd end up using this over other piano libraries out there, purely because I would have control over the reverse delay myself. But its a great library nonetheless and one I'm sure someone in the PB community will find great use for! Full of character and well recorded, great job!
Awesome FX
I agree with sam here, being a fan of felt pianos with noise and character, i find the piano samples themselves very sterile and not inspiring. It's sampled well, its just not for me. With that said the reverse fx are really cool and the water sounds are such a creative idea and sound really cool in context. For a first submission this is great. Reminds me a bit of Dan keens organic textures where he put water sounds on-top of a pad. Very pleasing sound.
