Review Snippets

• Foundations Piano offers exceptional value as a free, solid soft piano ideal for ambient, chill, and singer-songwriter genres, with strong sound design potential, making it a worthy contender in a crowded market.
• Foundations Piano is immersive and captivating, allowing users to get lost in harmonies.
• The built-in reverb and delay effects lack sufficient control, making external plugins a better option.
• Beautiful sound design and excellent soundscape creation by Heaviosity.
• Foundations Piano is amazing, unique with textures, arpeggiator, and gating, making it suitable for any music genre.
• Foundations Piano offers stunning sound, clear user experience, and is wonderful and inspiring.
• Foundations Piano's texture has a magical, lingering echo that feels comforting and responsive.
• This free Foundations Piano library is extremely versatile and has a beautiful sound, which I absolutely love.
• Foundations Piano is a great free grand piano that complements Native Instruments' Labs upright.
• Foundations Piano is a versatile, melodic free instrument.
• Foundations Piano lacks expressive dynamic range due to limited velocity layers.
• Just downloaded and tried... I am a Native instruments user... I gotta admit sound quality is as good any paid version... And best out of all the free Piano vst out there... Recommended for all.
• Velocity only affects volume, not timbre, which is an understandable compromise for a free instrument.
• Foundations Piano offers outstanding quality and is superior to many other sampled instruments.
• The Foundations Piano is a gorgeous, cinematic instrument.
