Infinite Upright – A Textural Ambient Piano Like No Other
Emergence Audio presents Infinite Upright, a deeply cinematic, evolving piano instrument designed for composers, sound designers, and ambient music producers. Built on the foundation of a 1980s Baldwin Upright, this one-of-a-kind instrument blends organic piano textures with advanced digital and analog processing, delivering an immersive, evolving soundscape.
At the heart of Infinite Upright is Non-Static Sampling™, a unique technology developed by Michael Vignola, founder of Emergence Audio. Unlike traditional sampling, Non-Static Sampling™ ensures that no two notes sound exactly the same, introducing infinite motion, depth, and realism. This groundbreaking approach is further enhanced by the Infinite Motion Engine™ 2.0, offering an ever-changing, expressive experience that unfolds naturally over time.
Whether you’re scoring a film, producing ambient soundscapes, or crafting ethereal piano-driven music, Infinite Upright provides a world of sonic inspiration, ranging from delicate, emotional piano tones to haunting, otherworldly atmospheres.
