Native Instruments Una Corda [KONTAKT]

FULL INFO BELOW:

UNA CORDA faithfully captures the special sound signature of a custom-made contemporary piano with one string per key ? originally created by David Klavins in close collaboration with composer Nils Frahm. Whether youre crafting melodies for film or simply introducing fresh elements into electronic, pop, or jazz, UNA CORDA offers a tone unlike anything your audience has heard before.

PREPARED PIANO
Draw from three separate sound banks. The first captures the pure, resonant sound produced when each piano hammer strikes a single string. The second and third capture two preparations of material between hammers and strings. Felt offers a gentle tone with reduced attack noise, creating a smooth sound akin to an unplugged vintage electric piano. Cotton delivers a noisier, percussive attack with more overtones.

THE ART OF NOISE
Transform the sound by accessing unique noise and sound design elements. Dial up the noise from fabric preparations, mechanical elements, pedals, and the room to enhance realism or create something entirely new. Incorporate hiss, compression, and saturation from vintage outboard gear to generate anything from dry, gritty textures to liquid pads and swirling effects.

FULL CONTROL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
An easy-to-use interface gives you full control of instrument parameters. Select from three distinct sound banks. Use the Workbench to sculpt the primary characteristics of the sound. Adjust the dynamic characteristics and add overtones in the Response section. Then polish your sound in the Finish section by integrating vintage effect chains, reverbs, and more. The interface allows you to easily transform a pure-sounding piano into a noisy, percussive instrument or ambient soundscape.

MADE FOR KOMPLETE KONTROL
UNA CORDA is designed for seamless integration with the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series. For the ultimate UNA CORDA player experience, capitalize on the true piano feel of the KOMPLETE KONTROL S88, which offers fully weighted hammer-action keys.

CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH ULI BARONOWSKY
Uli Baronowsky and Galaxy Instruments captured the intimate sounds and minute details of the physical instrument to provide a stunning virtual version in ultimate resolution. In collaboration with Native Instruments, Uli and Galaxy Instruments have previously created THE GIANT, THE DEFINITIVE PIANO COLLECTION, and RISE & HIT.
