Impact Soundworks Water Piano (Digital product)

Impact Soundworks Water Piano offers a uniquely intimate and atmospheric piano experience, perfect for composers and musicians seeking emotional depth and cinematic textures. Recorded on a dry stage at Air Edel Studios in London, this instrument features a soft, delicate tone achieved by placing a thin strip of felt between the hammers and the strings, creating a gentle, muted sound that has gained worldwide acclaim.

Beyond its signature soft piano sound, Water Piano is a groundbreaking cinematic instrument developed in collaboration with innovator Mattias Krantz. The piano was recorded not only in a dry state but also submerged in varying amounts of water, producing otherworldly, evolving soundscapes that can be controlled dynamically by the user. This innovative approach allows for a broad sonic palette, from intimate and warm to mystical and ambient, suitable across genres including new age, horror, action, and chill music.

The Water Piano features three distinct sample sets: dry, wet (submerged), and sustained pads that create lush, infinite textures. It includes multiple dynamics and round robins for realism, and a variety of water sound effects like splashes and swishes subtly integrated with the piano sound. The interface offers tone-shaping controls, microtuning options, and a convolution reverb that simulates a running river, enhancing the immersive experience.
