The instrument features 6 different effects that send the piano into multiple modes of deterioration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up first is the Flutter effect. This mimics subtle changes in tape speed. Up next is Compress which gives a simple and easy method of squashing dynamics<\/a><\/span><\/strong> so the piano will sit better in your mix. Saturate brings distortion and saturation for exciting harmonics. Reduce will lower the bitrate to some severe levels. Filter<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is a high and low pass filter that narrows the frequency bandwidth for a telephonic effect. And, last but not least, reverb brings a universe of sound. It sounds great and is perfect for some laid back chewy tunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LoFi piano runs inside the full or free version of Steinberg\u2019s HALion<\/a><\/span><\/strong> virtual instrument platform. It allows you to run HALion libraries, just without the paid features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
