22GB+ Of Out Of This World Hybrid Piano Sounds!
Originally part of Audio Imperia’s “Private Stock Instruments” series these libraries were developed as a private sample library for a group of trailer composers, the result is two incredibly expressive instruments:
- Klavier – Red Planet Piano ($139)
- Klavier – Gravitas Piano ($159)
The goal throughout the whole project for Audio Imperia was to start with the user experience and the raw sound and to work their way backwards to a final product that is both versatile and instantly inspiring!

Klavier – Red Planet Piano: Piano Meets Electric Guitar (10GB+)
The “Red Planet Piano” was heavily inspired by the movie adaptation of Andy Weir’s “The Martian”. Harry Gregson-Williams’ score is absolutely amazing and inspired Audio Imperia to create an “outer space” version of the Klavier.
The Red Planet Piano shares the same organic sample pool used for the Gravitas Piano. But to get that particular “outer space” electric guitar sound, thay also created a number of complex guitar sounds.
These are designed to match that lush and wide sound that you need to evoke that feeling of depth and space. This, combined with the organic piano, creates a truly unique sound.
Audio Imperia used a blend of the neck (humbucker) and the split-coil (single coil) position of the very limited Ibanez JPM90HAM. A perfect blend of the single coil twang and directness and the warmth and depth of the neck humbucker.
The initial recordings were done direct and they then reamped the recordings through various amp and fx signal chains.
“Red Planet is INCREDIBLE!!!! Audio Imperia freaking nailed it. This is the most inspiring guitar sound of any and all of the libraries and even my live guitar. NAILED IT!!!!” Danny Cocke – Composer & Sound Designer
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Klavier requires the full version of Kontakt 5.5.145 or higher (the patches will not run in the free Kontakt Player)
- Please also be aware that when using multiple mic positions on both the organic and the synthetic/guitar side, the libraries can be RAM/CPU intensive.
- For both PC & MAC systems, we highly recommend at least 4GB of RAM and a quad-core CPU for optimal playback of the samples.
Klavier – Gravitas: Piano Meets Sound Design (12GB+)
The “Gravitas Piano” was designed specifically for trailer music. A piano that can cut through in a big and epic mix, yet still retain a lot of warmth and depth.
To achieve this, Audio Imperia used a set of six stereo microphones and then combined these with their corresponding sound-designed (“Synthetic”) counterparts in post production.
Organic Piano:
- Yamaha Baby Grand Piano
Mics:
- 2x Brauner Phantom Classic Front End Audio Microphones (above the piano)
- 2x DPA 4011A Cardioid Microphones (below the piano)
- 2x Neumann KM184 Small-diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphones (above the keys, one on each side of the player)
- 2x Neumann U87 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphones (inside the lid)
- 2x Coles 4038 Ribbon Microphones (inside the lid)
- 2x Earthworks QTC40 Small-diaphragm Omnidirectional Condenser Microphones (room)
The Gravitas Piano comes with 35 “Synthetic” presets, made by some of the best producers in the trailer industry:
- Attila Áts
- Bryan Leach
- Danny Cocke
- Jeremiah Pena
- Joshua Crispin aka Generdyn
- Paul Ortiz aka Chimp Spanner
These “Synthetic” presets can be accessed via the preset control on the “Synthetic” side of the piano.
The “Organic” piano offers both Sustained and Staccato articulations. All of the “Synthetic” presets were made using the original samples from the “Organic” piano. No synthesizers or other instruments were used, just pure sound manipulation and sound design.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Klavier requires the full version of Kontakt 5.5.145 or higher (the patches will not run in the free Kontakt Player)
- Please also be aware that when using multiple mic positions on both the organic and the synthetic/guitar side, the libraries can be RAM/CPU intensive.
- For both PC & MAC systems, we highly recommend at least 4GB of RAM and a quad-core CPU for optimal playback of the samples.
