Micro Piano – Classic 90s House Sound in Your DAW
Welcome to the world of classic 90s house sound! If you’re looking to recreate that unique atmosphere of the golden age of electronic music, the Micro Piano plugin from Meat Beats will be your indispensable tool. It’s not just another piano – it’s a real time capsule that takes you straight to the studios where iconic tracks were born.
Micro Piano recreates the characteristic sound of a classic piano, sampled on legendary S-series samplers that dominated music production in the 90s. It was these machines that gave the instruments of the time their unique, slightly grainy and rich character. With this plugin, you get the same “crunchy attack” and “sizzling tone” that became the hallmark of house music of that era.
Features and Capabilities
Micro Piano is a not complicated, but extremely effective tool focused on giving you an authentic sound with minimal effort. Its simple interface hides a powerful core that can bring your tracks to life.
- Classic House Piano: Recreating the sound that defined the genre, with all its nuances – from punchy chords to melodic lines.
- Characteristic S-Series Samplers: Authentic grain and tone achieved by emulating the sampling process on 90s equipment. This adds warmth, richness, and a unique vintage charm to the sound, which is often missing in modern, overly “clean” pianos.
- “Crunchy” Attack: Perfect for creating percussive, rhythmic piano parts that cut through the mix and add groove.
- “Sizzling” Tone: Bright but not harsh highs that add air and brilliance to the sound, making it lively and expressive.
Built-in Effects for Sound Shaping
For further sound modeling and integration into your mix, Micro Piano is equipped with three key effects:
- LP Filter (Low Pass Filter): Allows you to smooth out the high frequencies, make the sound warmer or create the effect of gradually opening/closing the tone for dynamic transitions.
- Vintage Reverb (Vintage Reverb): Adds space and depth to the sound with the characteristic touch of classic reverbs of that era. Ideal for creating atmosphere or simulating recording in a particular room.
- Pan Mod (Panning Modulation): Adds subtle or expressive stereo movement, making the sound wider and more interesting in the stereo field. This can create a vibrato effect on the pan or simply add a sense of space.
