Felt Seiler Free vs Postfelt

The fundamental difference between Felt Seiler Free and POSTFELT lies in their core instrument and complexity. Felt Seiler Free is a grand piano recorded with a felt treatment, offered as a free product, while POSTFELT is a mid-range upright piano that combines a felt sound with additional layers for expanded sonic possibilities.

Felt Seiler Free features a grand piano sound with four velocity layers and one mic position, augmented by three dedicated synth/sound design layers for mood sculpting. It was recorded in a specific studio setting. In contrast, POSTFELT utilizes a Kawai BS30 upright piano with seven velocity layers, integrating a traditional upright layer and eight DNA-derived FX layers that include various effects like plucked strings for extensive sound design.

Choose Felt Seiler Free for a direct, atmospheric grand felt piano sound with specific synth layers, especially if budget is a primary concern. Choose POSTFELT for a more versatile, character-rich upright felt piano experience, offering deeper sound manipulation through its multiple FX layers and higher velocity layer count.
