Originals Felt Piano vs My Piano

The fundamental difference between these two upright piano libraries lies in their primary sonic character and underlying technology for detail. Originals Felt Piano distinctively employs a felt-dampened sound, creating a dark, atmospheric, and intimate tone, explicitly sampled with a celeste pedal. My Piano, conversely, focuses on a natural and balanced upright sound, aiming for realism through detailed sampling of various piano mechanics like sympathetic resonance, pedal sounds, and even 'occasional crackles' to emulate live performance nuances.

My Piano, despite being a free offering and having a smaller library size at 1.7 GB, includes 6 velocity layers and advanced resonance modeling for a highly realistic and expressive performance. Originals Felt Piano, priced as a budget instrument with a 3 GB library, offers three distinct mic positions for sound shaping, providing flexibility in capturing its warm, unique felt character.

Choose Originals Felt Piano if your priority is a distinct, warm, and dark felt piano sound for ambient textures, film scoring, or songwriting. Choose My Piano if you require a highly natural, balanced, and expressive upright piano with detailed mechanical realism for classical, jazz, or general recording, especially given its comprehensive features despite being a free instrument.
