Mir vs My Piano

Mir is designed as a unique, atmospheric sound design tool, whereas My Piano offers a more traditional and natural upright piano sound experience. Mir emphasizes sonic manipulation and lo-fi textures, while My Piano focuses on realism and playability as a standard instrument.

Mir provides a broad range of unconventional articulations, including tape machine versions, Eurorack processing, and Soviet spy recorder renditions, alongside multiple microphone types and blendable sound layers. My Piano prioritizes detailed emulation of an acoustic piano, featuring numerous dynamic layers, release samples, body resonances, and sympathetic and pedal resonance, plus optional 'occasional crackles' for added realism.

Choose Mir if you require a specialized character piano with extensive sound design capabilities for ambient music, film scoring, or experimental textures. Choose My Piano if you need a versatile, free, and authentic upright piano for classical, jazz, or cinematic music where a natural and intimate sound is paramount.
