2025 might be drawing to a close but we’re squeezing in one more new product to see the year out!
Remember Harmonic Bloom? New Refraction builds on the spectral-shaping magic that made that sound design tool so inspiring by reimagining the piano as a fluid, instrument – one that blooms, sustains, and morphs in ways no traditional piano library ever could.
Refraction begins with a beautifully recorded premium upright piano, captured with a selection of microphones and prepared with an ultra-thin layer of felt. But it’s what happens AFTER you hit the note that sets this Kontakt Player instrument apart from any other library…
In short, the Refraction engine captures the resonances of held notes, sustains them and passes them through a tuned filter bank that tracks the notes you’re playing. The result is a beautiful soundscape shaped from the sound of the piano itself, which you can control with your playing.
You have full control over four mic perspectives along with a wonderfully battered Tape Echo signal for extra character. The Resonance Bloom control in the centre of the GUI adds expressive movement with a single gesture, and three ambience processors let you build everything from intimate spaces to shimmering, cinematic tails.
Whether you’re crafting piano performances, cinematic pads, or hybrid acoustic-electronic beds, Refraction is designed for composers, producers, and sound designers who want a piano that doesn’t just play notes – it breathes, evolves, and surprises.
