Adam Monroe's Honky Tonk Piano Is a 32/64-Bit VST AU AAX Plugin For Windows And OSX
* 16-Bit Audio Samples (With Separate Sustain Samples)
* 2X Round-Robin, 10 Velocity Layers
* Reverb, Chorus, Delay, And Lo-Fi effects
* Supports 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz
THE SAMPLING PROCESS
Adam Monroe's Honky Tonk Piano was sampled from a vintage Chickering upright piano -
exact age unknown - primarily through a Neumann TLM 102 microphone. The piano had
undoubtedly seem some action, and although it could be tuned (one note at a time) the
tone of the piano was a bit on the "e;honky"e; side. The piano was sampled close-miced
with lid open in mono, but each note was carefully panned to creat a stereo effect. An
AKG D112 was used initially in order to capture the lower frequencies, but the TLM 102
did a fine enough job on its own.
We attempted to sample this piano deeply (10 velocity layers, 2 note round robin) but
in the end, round robin was only partially captured, while the velocity goals were
met. Unlike most piano libraries that just record one or the other, the piano was
sampled with both sustain pedal open and closed, increasing the library's size, but
allowing for more expression while playing.
Once the notes were recorded, the laborious task of processing them began. Noise was
removed and the piano was eq'd and compressed - yes, this is a heavily processed
plugin. The end result is an EXTREMELY PURCUSSIVE and LOUD piano library that will cut
through your mix. This is not a pristine, clean plugin, and the notes can be quite
hard hitting! We feel this adds to the percussive nature of honky-tonk style piano
playing. Although we've cleaned up the notes quite a bit since the VST's initial
release, we feel that too much cleaning-up starts to destroy the sound and feel of the
plugin.
This piano plugin can be a great addition to your collection, as it fills a nice niche
in the world of sampled upright pianos. If you need to make demos or recordings of
ragtime music, or just need a generally purcussive piano, this virtual instrument is
ready to become the newest member of your VST, AU, or AAX arsenal.
ENGINEERING
The Kontakt version of Adam Monroe's Honky Tonk Piano is depreciated (12.16.2019). The
VST, Audio Unit, and AAX versions are programmed by Adam Monroe Music. The goal in any
sample library that is also a VSTi (virtual instrument), AU (Audio Unit), or AAX
plugin is to attempt to match the performance of the Kontakt Player (or other third
party players). With this library, we feel like we have done just that.
The VST, AU, and AAX versions include updated, high-performance algorithms that have
been improving with each new virtual instrument released by Adam Monroe Music. For
example, the buffering algorithm is double-buffered and multithreaded, which means
that buffering performance is fast, even on slower computers, and even in lower
latencies. Voices are held and iterated over in a pure, C-Style array. Memory use is
comparable to the (depreciated) Kontakt version. Real-time sample rate conversion
(through cubic interpolation) has been added to the AU, VST, and AAX versions in order
to support sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz natively. Because of the solid
VST/AU/AAX code base and - and compilation of the code to not need external
.dll's/objects/libs - you can feel confident that the VST, AU, and AAX versions will
work just as well as the (depreciated) Kontakt version.
Why develop VST, AU, and AAX versions at all? Although a great piece of software, the
Full version of Kontakt (required to run 3rd party sample libraries) is expensive.
Developing VST, AU, and AAX versions that anyone can use does not add significant time
to the development of a piano sample library - most of the time is spent sampling and
processing the samples - so it's a real no-brainer.
Audio engineering is a large part of creating a VST, Protools, or Audio Unit plugin,
and you will find some useful things like reverb, lo-fi, and chorus built into this
plugin. The VST version is based on VST 2.4, and should work in nearly any modern
version of 32 or 64 bit version of Windows and OS X 10.9 or later. The Audio Unit
version is compatible with OS X 10.9 or later and is compatible with 32 and 64-bit
DAWS. The Protools version is 64-bit and requires the full version of Protools 10 or
later. The download size for all versions is 2.9 GB, and unzipped the library takes up
about 4.2 GB. We use Amazon for file serving, so you can rest assured your download
will be fast and smooth!
