Description

Preparation P is a VSTi collection of 61 prepared-piano samples recorded by Tom Gersic on a baby grand piano. The sounds include strummed and plucked strings plus other textures created by objects lodged in the piano strings, placing the instrument between melodic keyboard writing and experimental sound design.

Each sample can be tuned individually, and envelope controls adjust attack, decay, sustain, and release. That makes the collection useful for playable prepared-piano parts as well as tuned hits, scrapes, and unusual percussive layers.
