SoundLabel has released Piano Attack, a sample library of prepared piano. The unique prepared piano sample library is now available as a Reason ReFill. the library is available as a 570 MB download version or a CD-rom boxed version.

Piano Attack features sounds from a wide range of prepared and ‘abused’ pianos. Rather than wrecking your own piano in an attempt to get these unusual sounds, SoundLabel ‘liberated’ pianos from their black and white keys and recorded every possible sound in their studios. They even destroyed one piano completely to create a unique sound library for composers, musicians and sound designers.

The collection includes phrases, hits, atmospheres, rushers, zings, beats, loops, demolition sounds and more.

Composer and electronica artist BT used a pre-release version recent soundtrack work. According to BT, Piano Attack “is f**king dope, that I am totally using for “Stealth”, the Rob Cohen movie.”

The Piano Attack Reason ReFill version contains 200+ patches, 157 REX beats and 21 REX phrase files. This sample library is designed for filmscoring, composing, dance and remix productions, sound design and signature sounds.

The next release (Nov. 2005) will be a DVD rom with 200+ Logic EXS24 patches and 390 Logic 7 channel strip presets in combination with a huge Kontakt2 library (2.9 GB) and 157 loops and beats in REX format.
