FELT 54 is an intimate felt piano with character, it’s not the conventional bright and harmonically complex upright piano.

Stereo sampled from a felt customized upright Yamaha U3 1975 that has been modified in a way that makes the tone more pure, yet preserves its harmonic richness.

A 0.8mm felt strip was added between the hammers and strings, and the middle section’s tone of the piano was simplified by muting 2 out of 3 strings per note.

The instrument was captured by 3 microphones resulting in a very intimate stereo image.

3 EQ Knobs (Low,Mid,High)
Intimate room reverb
Tape Delay (Synced Time, Feedback, Send Level)
Pedal noise and key release noise levels
a Special TAPE module with 3 knobs (Analogue Tape Hiss, Saturation intensity, Flutter intensity)
FELT 54 is ideal for Ambient music and Melancholic film scores, as well as LO-FI hip-hop music with the Tape settings driven up.
