Teletone Audio have released Broadcast Piano, available for $89.00.
Broadcast Piano was created with a bold and fearless approach to sampling. Relying on vintage ribbon microphones, this piano carries the voice of the great piano-forward records of the 60’s and 70’s.
At the heart of the Broadcast sound, are a pair of 1950’s RCA 77dx’s. These particular models were heavily utilized for broadcast television sets because of their matte finish (to reduce glare from studio lighting). Their sound is immediate, and quietly authoritative. They are the beginning, but not the end, of the vintage ribbons used.
This Baldwin L 6’3” grand piano is truly a players piano. It was chosen for its extreme dynamic range and intimate character. Its tone can go from tranquil to torrid in an instant.
Neither dry, nor distant, Broadcast Piano offers just enough air to frame the piano while keeping the performance grounded, intimate, and forward in the mix. Use the Space dial to move the sound of microphones forward, backward, or change perspective. All mic positions change and blend seamlessly into each other with the touch of a few dials.
