It’s no secret that a great-sounding keyboard sample library can make all the difference in your music production. But with so many choices on the market, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. That’s why we’re here to tell you about Hammers + Waves, the keyboard sample library that goes above and beyond the call of duty.
Every single note for each instrument was recorded at 16 velocity levels using top-notch microphones and preamps. And to top it all off, the developer used their robotic automation system to play each key of the instruments at the 16 velocity levels. Not to mention, Hammers + Waves comes with various types of modulation, granular synthesis, and other quality built-in effects to shape the tones in nearly any way you’d like.
