Originals Felt Piano vs Pianoverse Liberty Upright
The most significant distinction between these two upright piano VSTs lies in their sampling depth and source instruments. Originals Felt Piano provides a single, intimate felt piano sound, characterized by its dark and atmospheric qualities, sampled with three microphone positions. In contrast, Pianoverse Liberty Upright offers two distinct versions of a rare 1915 Koch & Korselt upright grand piano—one in its original condition and another post-restoration—captured with a substantial 68GB library size.
Sonically, the Originals Felt Piano targets specific ambient and cinematic needs with its inherently muted, warm tone achieved by felted hammers. Pianoverse Liberty Upright, on the other hand, prioritizes the detailed capture of a historical instrument, offering a broader character encompassing warm, balanced, and natural tones from a larger sample base, implying increased dynamic range and sonic fidelity for a wider range of applications.
Choose Originals Felt Piano if you need a focused, budget-friendly felt piano for intimate film scores, ambient tracks, or delicate songwriting. Opt for Pianoverse Liberty Upright if you require a highly detailed, historically rich upright piano with diverse character options and greater sonic depth for recording, film scoring, or songwriting where a meticulously sampled vintage instrument is desired.
