A Modern Classic
Sometimes a grand piano is just too, well... grand. Maybe you need something smaller and more intimate. In those cases, the Modern Upright is the perfect choice.
About Modern Upright
The Modern Upright is based on a Yamaha U3 upright piano - regarded by many pianists as a modern classic. It has a tight and defined tone with an airy ambience that makes it fit nicely into almost any production. Included presets cover everything ranging from smooth jazz with a mellow, warm tone to bright pop with an upfront sound.
The Instrument and its Presets
Yamaha U3 Upright Piano:
Our Modern Upright is based on a Yamaha U3 piano in excellent condition that was recorded with great care in a large auditorium. This auditorium is a soundstage that is mainly used to broadcast live performances with very high acoustical standards. The room has a detailed ambience with a medium/long decay time.
Modern Upright features seven microphone perspectives ranging from close to far, floor to soundboard and mono to stereo. This gives you nearly limitless sound design options and lets you tailor the sound of the piano to the exact needs of your song, all within the Addictive Keys engine.
We Recorded Using the Following:
Front Ribbon (Stereo XY): Coles 4038
Front Ribbon (Stereo Wide): Coles 4038
Back Tube (Stereo Wide): Sela T25
Bottom Tube (Mono): Neumann U47
Floor PZM (Stereo Wide): Sennheiser MKE212
