Sonuscore Chroma - Upright Piano

A TRULY SPECIAL PIANO

CHROMA - UPRIGHT PIANO stands out, not just because of its rich history and impeccable restoration, but because of its unique character and emotional depth that set it apart.

The journey began a few years ago in a small studio, where our team initially focused on recording a grand piano. However, an unassuming upright piano in the same studio captured our attention. Though we were committed to recording the grand, the upright's distinct sound and emotional resonance left a lasting impression. We just had to record it and share it with the world!

The CHROMA – UPRIGHT PIANO isn’t just another virtual instrument; it’s a culmination of passion, serendipity, and meticulous craftsmanship.

• Warm, mid-focused tonal character with rich low-end
• Multiple unique articulations including felt, muted, plucked, flageolet, and bowed
• Recorded with a diverse array of microphones for a comprehensive sound
• Unique core engine that both recreates the piano’s original sonority and also creates new and abstract soundscapes
• 27 velocity layers for nuanced and dynamic playability
• 91 presets designed to inspire and enhance creativity

CRAFTED FOR CINEMATIC INTIMACY
What makes CHROMA – UPRIGHT PIANO truly special? It’s a century-old gem from the small, renowned piano house, lovingly restored with new strings, felts, and mechanics. This meticulous restoration ensured it not only maintained its tune exceptionally well but also preserved its authentic, vintage character. However, we haven’t stopped there, we’ve spent hours melding our coding expertise with this acoustic gem to bring you a classic piano with a ton of modern features. 

PRECISION RECORDING FOR SONIC DEPTH
CHROMA – UPRIGHT PIANO offers musicians and producers an authentic, versatile, and emotionally rich tool that stands out in a crowded market. It’s also the ideal companion to the CHROMA – GRAND PIANO, offering a different sound to include in your musical productions.  

Whether you’re creating heartfelt, intimate music, pop or rock hits, or powerful cinematic scores, this upright piano will bring unparalleled character and mojo to your compositions. 

We went beyond the ordinary, recording a range of articulations that push CHROMA – UPRIGHT PIANO beyond the traditional piano. From the soft, ethereal quality of felt notes to the resonant, harmonic richness of flageolets, and even the visceral, hands-on experience of plucked strings and bowed tones, this library provides an expansive toolkit for the adventurous composer.
