F9 Audio F9 Origins 60 Old School Pianos [MULTiFORMAT]

FULL INFO BELOW:

Hi Everyone - James here from F9 / Freemasons
Welcome to the 1st of the F9 Origins series and were starting with a bang - A limited-edition collection of club-ready piano sounds from my own collection.

This started off as a personal sampling project for a piano-house EP that sent me down a rabbit hole I was not expecting.

See if any of these questions seem familiar to you:

Have you ever wondered why people still come back to the M1 piano?
Have you ever struggled for hours to get modern piano sounds to fit inside a club production?
Do you wish you had a super-fast loading selection of Pianos that will smash through dense and powerful drums and stop you breaking the creative flow?
These were all questions I was asking myself at the start of making an F9 Piano driven EP called 88 Keys.

So I started sampling old es ... They sounded awesome ...
..I continued .. Then I got absolutely obsessed....
... Then I started to replicate these kinds of es with new piano samples to add even more es....
...My mind exploded when I heard the results in a track...
What you see here is the fruits of all that Labour - 60 Pianos designed to work perfectly in contemporary ( or old School) club and pop productions

This release will be available for only 3 months or 500 downloads, whichever happens first.
These are the piano es that built club music. From the 8 bit sounds of 1988s Chicago and Detroit house era to the anthem-creating es of the 1990s and beyond.
There has never been a collection like this before. Dont miss this opportunity to have club cultures love affair with the piano inside your DAW
260 Midi file are included and Ill be honest many of them are so good Im keen to make tracks out of them myself - Ill race you to Beatport!
From one of our early customers :

I was not going to bother as I have lots of piano sounds already.
I am glad I did. WOW. great work. The smart controls just make it so easy. - Paul, UK
So why do these work so darn well? ... Its an open production secret that lower bit/sampling rates add thickness and power to sounds. Add to that the analog input/output stages of early sampling devices ( and the technical imperfections of early A/D converters such as jitter ) and it starts to get interesting...

Now reduce the sample count - notes transposing downwards on 8-12 bit systems have something utterly unique - they fizz and growl much more than our pristine 20-samples-per-note libraries and that all adds the magic sauce: character

F9 Old School pianos Logic Pro X Smart controls
Also Ive found so many modern libraries have very odd stereo cohesion and dont fold at all well down to mono ( vital for radio and club play ) - Having micd up many a piano in my time engineering across London I know the problems with capturing pianos in full stereo all too well and so often it seems the pianos are captured to appease classically trained players - These are often dreadful in their vanilla form at hammering out club riffs. Listen to the audio demos above - would you believe many of the es are mono?

As well as all these stellar pianos weve added to the F9 battery of Midi piano files and included all of them from previous piano releases. Total at time of publication: 260

This library started off as my personal mission to get myself an army of pianos for any club necessity possible and Im very proud to present it to you now for a very limited period. Please let me know how you get on with them and what you make with them ..
