Piano Swell Sample

Stoneroses6300 · 3rd November 2006, 06:46 AM

Anyone know a program that has a sample like this? Thank you

I usually just hit the particular chord voicing I want, record it into my DAW/sequencer and reverse the sound, then line it up. Simple and fast. I'm sure there's samples out there though.

Piano's don't normally "swell" ... also, don't you have any preferences for key or chord or register or time/tempo?

Any decent sampled piano should be able to create what you have in mind. Maybe it's a reversed piano that you want - that's easy, just reverse the audio. I've never understood sample libraries that provide reversed sounds - it's just a way of boosting their sound count for marketing purposes, without actually giving away anything worthwhile. Any sample can be reversed.

Maybe it's a highly compressed sound you want? Or maybe you can just record a fader move?

To reverse the sound in PT is super easy. Take a piano chord, make it into a region that contains only the "hit" you want to reverse, select the region, go to the audiosuite menue and select reverse. Voila, you're done. Takes about 30 seconds. Good luck. bp

I don't think anyone needs to think higher of his or her self.
But it's getting old when people are asking questions on GS that can EASILY be looked up in the pro tools manuals. This isn't a pro tools 1on1 class, and when you reply to somthing, you assume that the person has the basics down.... Otherwise the "polite" thing to do in a reply is list every step (including the basics), and that ain't gonna happen...

It's like somone asking what kind of break pads should I use on my car when I re-do my breaks, and you sugest "brand-x" pads... then they ask, ok got the pads, now how do I put them in??? Kinda putting the carrage before the horse....
