![]() Soft Piano’s samples folder weighs in at 398 MB, and offers sustain pedal up and pedal down samples. It’s a softly played felted piano – a sound popularized in recent years by the composer Olafur Arnalds, though these samples were recorded in 2008 in AIR Studios (where a lot of Spitfire’s orchestral libraries are recorded), which means that this particular piano is one of the pioneers of the trend. One is the Soft Piano, which was there before. In addition to the LABS plugin, the users currently have access to two free instrument libraries. Also, the instruments themselves are now completely free, with Spitfire donating a portion of their overall income to charity now. Previously, the instruments required the full version of Kontakt, which is a major barrier to many budget-conscious producers. Well, it is back, with the game-changing difference that LABS now uses Spitfire’s own VST plugin, which seems to be a simplified version of the same virtual instrument wrapper that is used in their Hans Zimmer Strings. ![]() The entire product line disappeared a few months ago, with a promise to bring it back in a new form. The Spitfire LABS line has returned! Many of our readers probably remember that this was Spitfire Audio’s line of small, experimental libraries which cost $3 each, with the money going to charity.
