Key Features of Noire:
Signature Sound: The core of Noire’s sound is a 9' concert grand piano, handpicked by Nils Frahm and custom-intonated for a unique tonal profile. The piano was recorded using vintage microphones and preamps in the rich acoustic space of Saal 3 at Funkhaus Berlin—a studio with significant historical value, once home to East German state radio.
Two Versions of the Piano:
- Pure Version: Offers a clear, natural grand piano sound.
- Felt Version: Features a felt damper between the hammers and strings, creating a softer, gentler sound with reduced attack, ideal for more intimate, subdued passages.
Additional Features:
Motion and Particles: The Particles Engine not only adds evolving harmonic elements but also brings motion and depth to your performance. This engine can be especially inspiring for composers who need a sense of evolving texture without having to manually program every change. The particles will react to your playing, which leads to a constantly evolving and dynamic sound.
Dynamic Control: The Groove and Feel knobs, which were designed for easy interaction, allow for smooth adjustments of the timing, humanization, and overall expressiveness of the sound. These controls are great for getting that “live” feel where every note feels slightly different, as if played by hand.
Inspiring Customization Options:
Sub Bass Enhancement: Noire's low-end is rich and deep. You can also dial in sub bass to give your sound that extra weight and fullness, creating cinematic moments that feel grounded and full of texture.
Built-in Mixer: The internal mixer comes equipped with effects like convolution reverb, tape saturation, compressor, and EQ, allowing you to fine-tune the sound without needing to load external effects. This simplifies the workflow while offering professional-grade sound shaping tools right at your fingertips.
Ideal For:
- Cinematic composers looking for an emotive and expressive piano.
- Ambient music producers who need a piano with a rich, evolving sound.
- Sound designers wanting a tool for deep customization and sound manipulation.
- Minimalist and experimental composers who are after unique piano sounds with custom noise and feel.
