Epic Grand | Free Piano Library for Kontakt Player

[@rproctor83]

For what it's worth, this was one of the best piano VST I have played. The sound is not as rich, but it makes me sound 10x better than I normally do so there is that.

[@UnknownUnknown-uq5rv]

This piano sounds great, i always wanted that punchy/bite piano sound. The giant almost has that, but this sounds closer to it.

[@WilliamHavilandPiano]

Excellent walkthrough - thanks very much!

[@shubhodiproy]

In a seaload of free felt pianos, Fracture Sounds gives us a piano that is actually useful in many scenarios. Thank you so much.

[@HyS.official]

Marcus was a bit more unhinged in this one with those "I bet you didn't expect that" vibes, and I'm all for it! The editing and energy on this one was super entertaining to watch, whilst still keeping the video thoroughly informative! *E P I C*

[@fracturesounds]

Noted!

[@Kudaquashe]

I will download this definitely, thank you so much. My collection of epiic instruments has been widened

[@Brendan-Black]

Beautiful sound. Thank you for all the wonderful free Blueprint series instruments, they're all fantastic.

[@fracturesounds]

Thank you!

[@d0ntbeevil]

5:57 I personally very much like what you did here... Nice Blueprint release, thanks Fracture Sounds!

[@fracturesounds]

We like it too!

[@alancooper7018]

Amazing , if I had a fraction of your talent I would be a happy man! Great demo thanks.

[@gilesmoss5860]

I love this piece, thanks Marcus. I've just downloaded Epic Grand and am looking forward to being unable to create anything as lovely as this! Won't stop me trying though. : )

[@jeffreygower7937]

This fine Marcus fellow sure makes a walkthrough of all these Fracture Sound free libraries a great experience - appreciate the great skill, tunes, and the humor incorporated! Too bad when I get around to downloading and trying any of these it will sound dismal by comparison

[@fracturesounds]

Practice makes perfect 🫡

[@petterrong1590]

8:01 is just heavenly good! Love this. Thanks for showing the reverb settings, my new go-to Replika shimmer 😁 Have you considered consolidating all these Blueprint libraries into one with updates instead of releases when a new one is rolled out (Think ProjectSAM FreeOrchestra 2)? Even with some seperate quick-load organizing, it makes the library pane very cluttered with bunch of Blueprint single .nki library tiles.

[@fracturesounds]

Thanks for your comment! Yes, we had two options when we created Blueprint: provide one library with a new update on each release or use individual serials. We opted for individual serials as we thought that people would prefer to have the option to install/ uninstall selected parts of the library rather than having no choice over what's in the download. We have requested that NI update Native Access in the future to allow for individual download elements into one folder/ one instrument, as that is ideally how we'd like Blueprint to work (best of both worlds!).

[@RobinMacGregor]

I've added the serial number into Native Access and there is no "Install" option, only "Add library"...have I done something wrong?

[@fracturesounds]

This usually happens if you're not running Native Access 2: www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/native-access-2/

[@jenstornell]

Eastwest will probably like this video as well. 😅

[@emanuellandin7403]

excellent!!! Marcus are you using a Casio privia as a controller? I was thinking of using one.

[@chungchang2492]

Hi Marcus, the music you did is absolutely amazing and the video is very informative. Thank you! I also noticed the fader port you're using, are they MIDI faders? Can you tell me where I can find it?

[@AaronOwenSmith]

Talented is all I can say.

[@CanaldoOTA]

Nice nice sound! What you guys, at Fracutre Sounds Studio, thinks about the Casio PXs(showed in the vid) as midi controller?

[@SergioSabinoMusicOfficial]

Beautiful!

[@DesoloZantas]

Finally I can make a song if so it was played by an octopus man.

[@AnthonyRagus]

based cephalopod technique

[@jenstornell]

169 bucks? Or 0 bucks works as well. 😊 Looking forward to try it out.

[@luigigiul76]

I saw a black midi controller with faders in the video. Which is it?

[@donspanner]

I'm curious to know what kind of midi keyboard Marcus is using. Anyone know??

[@montazownianr1]

Casio Privia PX-S7000, but if you want really good piano-synth midi keyboard, with awesome key action then just buy Casio Privia PX-5S. It's just believable piano/midi controller, and works also with AA batteries, I couldn't find anything better :)

[@backup7305]

How come they keep releasing free libraries for kontakt player? I'm in favor of it(of course) but I heard the licensing fee for it is quite high.

[@Brendan-Black]

I imagine he's determined that the cost of the NI fee is worth it because of increased website visits and commercial product purchases due to the freebies he offers.

[@zilentman]

Where can I find and what's its name for your keyboard with the finger mouse that you use? And I would like to know, if it exists for left hand people.

[@ImpliedMusic]

i believe that's just a magic trackpad positioned beside a normal extended keyboard.

[@montazownianr1]

It's just a touch pad, there are many od them

[@wooplayer5801]

how did you adjust the release

[@fracturesounds]

With a sustain pedal connected to the MIDI Keyboard (CC64 if you're programming it in directly)

[@jacobsmith1877]

05:43 That is hilarious lol

[@fracturesounds]

We take NDAs very seriously.
