PIANO IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. 60% OFF
Physica CORE from Alternative Samples is a piano and sound-design instrument. Start with the piano or a Signature Sound, or bring in your own WAV, then shape it with Body, Brightness and Hammer Strength.
Capture a short chord and open it up with the granular engine into a bed of sound under your cue. Sound Morph blends four sources, Imprint borrows another recording’s character and Sculptor draws how a held note moves.
The arpeggiator exports MIDI, and you can drag out WAV audio. Grab it for $59.99, down from $149.99.
Available as AU and VST3 plugins for Mac and VST3 for Windows. Kontakt is not required.
Plenty of piano instruments are made to sound like a piano and nothing more. Physica CORE from Alternative Samples is a piano and sound-design instrument that treats the piano as a starting point. Play it as it is, or capture a chord, bring in your own recording, and turn it into something you can play across the keyboard. For a limited time, you can get it for $59.99 instead of the regular $149.99, which is 60% off.
The piano gives you three simple controls: Body for fullness, Brightness for the top end and Hammer Strength for the emphasis of the strike. That's enough to move from a soft, close melody to a part that cuts through a busy arrangement. Signature Sounds give you a library to start from, and you can soften their beginnings and endings or reverse them to find a different shape. Import your own WAV files or capture your playing, and the granular engine breaks them into grains with adjustable size, density and pitch, so a short chord can become a flowing bed of sound under your next cue.
Sound Morph blends four sources in one place, and you move through the blend area to bring different voices forward, then shape the Bass, Body and Air. Imprint lets one sound borrow the tonal character of another recording, with an Amount control to decide how far to go and a Level Match option so loudness doesn't fool your ears. Sculptor lets you draw a curve to shape how a held sound moves over time, guiding volume, pitch, tone or effects, so a single note can rise, fall and develop as you play.
When you want movement, the arpeggiator turns held chords into sequences with velocity, gate, pitch, swing and sync controls, and you can export its patterns as MIDI. You can also rearrange the parts inside a recording to hear it in a new order. Tail Reverb and Immersive Reverb add space, from an intimate room to a church, and delay, EQ, saturation, distortion and tremolo help you finish the sound. When you're ready, export or drag out WAV audio and save your sounds as user presets, including the audio you captured or imported.
