My Piano vs Postfelt

My Piano by Fluffy Audio is a free sampled upright piano focused on naturalistic realism, whereas Postfelt by Somerville Sounds is a paid, mid-range upright piano offering a more expansive sonic palette through layered effects. While both aim for an intimate character, their approaches to sound design diverge significantly.

My Piano's smaller library size and 6 velocity layers prioritize capturing the authentic nuances of a single upright, including internal resonances, pedal sounds, and even optional "occasional crackles" for a live performance feel. Postfelt, however, uses its 7 velocity layers on a Kawai BS30 and combines a felt piano with a traditional upright and eight unique DNA-derived FX layers, such as plucked strings, tape effects, and reverbs.

Choose My Piano if you seek a highly realistic, balanced, and FREE upright piano for classical or intimate compositions with minimal processing. Choose Postfelt if you require a broader range of atmospheric and sound-designed textures, blending traditional upright sounds with unique effects for film scoring, ambient music, or experimental sound design within a mid-range budget.
