"A very intimate uptake of the large-body piano sound with lots of detail and clarity make up this character upright piano instrument. Our complete edition was recorded in 3 close microphone positions. The sounds for this free edition were selected from the first microphone position - above keys close to hammers."

All white keys were included in 6 layers, 3 for Pedal Up, 3 for Pedal down (sustain pedal pressed), so separate sound layers triggered based on sustain pedal action.

Works for both Windows & macOS, depending on your sampler software.

Currently supported samplers are Native Instruments Kontakt sampler (5.0.1+, full version required) and the EXS24 sampler. A separate macOS installer is available for using Logic Pro X, MainStage and GarageBand patches, with built-in Smart Controls that load directly in these 3 apps. Smart controls include dynamic range control, compression, transient control and eq. According to KeyPleezer, more sampler formats are in production.

For Kontakt a separate NCW version is also available, including only .ncw (lossless compressed audio) sound files which is lighter in size at around 700MB.

The charming sound of this unique fretless zither available in two convenient versions:  Kontakt (requires the full version of Kontakt (version 5.8.1 or later)) and SFZ.

Description

Features:

- Six patches: hammer, pick, pick (unison), swarm 1, swarm 2, and swarm 3
- Two formats:
- Kontakt version is compatible with the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8.1 (or later).
- SFZ version tested with Plogue Sforzando
- Convolution reverb with level knob
- Standard ADSR controls
- Sample rate: 24-bit 48khz
- Library size: Kontakt 255 MB, SFZ 629 MB

- Easy to use for create basic analogue waveforms.
- Built-in oscillator to listen the waveform.
- Independent x64 console program: KxWaveTracer.exe (DAW CPU safe).
- Full parameters to make complex additive waveforms with no aliasing.
- Full 32-bit float data, multi band limited lookup tables per waveform.
- Same quality for all clock frequencies: 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz.
- 13.75 Hz to 23200 Hz or more (harmonic frequency limit).
- Level and Phase parameters.
- Up to 1600 harmonics for the bass frequencies (0 volts: 13.75hz).
- Possibility to automate the level and phase of all harmonics.
- Possibility to mix several waveforms following the frequencies (0 to 10 volts).
- Possibility to use absolute or relative levels on the first main harmonics.
- Frequency analyzers to compare the current waveform with the signal input.
- Possibility to copy directly the main levels of 40 first harmonics detected by the audio inputs analyzer.
- Possibility to sample the KX oscillator output or the audio inputs (left or right input, current sample rate, mono, 16-bit PCM or 32-bit float). The sample tune is based on the virtual keyboard, the input signal must be tuned with the oscillator (by listening, with the scopes and analyzers). By this way it is possible to find precisely the loop duration for each note sampled.
- Only one button to fill the wave buffer and after to record the WAV file.
- Auto WAV file duration based on one cycle (out of tune, e.g: 48kHz -> 440hz -> 109.0909 -> 109 spl) or on a number of cycles following the rounded tune frequency (tuned, e.g: 440Hz = 440 cycles -> 440*109.0909...= 48000 spl).
- Auto loop with zero crossing, the loop time is simply the file duration from start to end file.
- Possibility to listen the looped wave buffer to record again if you forgot to tune your sampled instrument.
- 3 scopes: input, sampling input, wave buffer. There is a little knob to adjust their visibility on the background.
- 49 waveform presets.

Kx WaveTracer v4.00 is available for Windows x64 in VST3 and VST2 plug-in formats at kx77free.free.fr

I now finished the final version. Now it's time to create presets for the factory sounds before i'll release it "officially". If someone is interested to help designing some presets let me know.

A straightforward extreme compressor modeled after the “British mode” of a uniquely modified 1176 compressor. Between saturation and compression, the texture of the Smasher is unique, inimitable. It doesn’t work everywhere, but if it works, go for it generously!

Pulsar Smasher is an unprecedented custom modification of the 1176 compressor circuit, which we stumbled upon while fine-tuning other algorithms.
