Klavins subsequently built an 88-key version of the piano especially for the Native Instruments sampling session. Frahm added fabric preparations, placing cotton, felt, and other fabrics between the hammers and strings to alter the attack of sounds. Klavins designed the piano with an open frame and a thin, ribless soundboard to produce a highly resonant tone. The piano is unusual in that it has just one string per key – standard pianos have up to three strings per key. The original 64-key upright piano was conceived and handcrafted by innovative piano builder David Klavins, and developed in collaboration with musician, composer, and producer Nils Frahm. UNA CORDA is based on a physical instrument. UNA CORDA runs in KONTAKT 5 and the free KONTAKT 5 Player and is available now at the NI Online Shop for $149 / 149 € / ¥ 18,800 / £129 / AU$189. With the ability to deliver everything from pure, natural sounds to percussive effects and ambient soundscapes, UNA CORDA was designed to add distinctive color to contemporary classical, cinematic music, pop, electronica, and jazz. In the end, after a certain moment, the sustain pedal’s noise is a real drag (and you can’t set it off).December 14, 2015, Berlin – Native Instruments today introduced UNA CORDA, a new KONTAKT Instrument providing evocative tones from a unique upright piano. I don’t regret buying it, even if I haven’t had many opportunities to use it. I consider the price to be a little high… Which is often the case with Native by the way, it’s too bad even if I remain a very good customer for them… I think they should offer more pertinent special prices, but i guess always wanting more for less is a musician’s habit… You’re not here to emulate a Steinway or Yamaha c7, but into a very different register.Ī piano with a single string provides less harmonics – but it also leaves more room for the rest, and minimalism is also part of music. You can’t really judge Una Corda for its realism, this is not its aim. The sound’s quality is very good and the presets are nice. The instrument doesn’t offer thousands of parameters, making it easy to use. I make music such as ambiance, OST… The demo is very well done and commercially efficient.Īs usual with Native, the anti-piracy system is not burdening. My computer is an i7 6700k 16gb RAM and windows 10 (64bit, of course). I really love Native’s products, but this time I’m not entirely satisfied.
