Piano Mallet Strikes and FX

Two piano-themed libraries created by striking the metallic strings with a metal mallet, creating some eerie, mysterious sounds.

The libraries were all recorded at 96kHz/24-bit stereo and are available individually, or as a discounted bundle.

Piano Mallet FX:
This collection of sounds brings you 509 FX sounds of various scrapes, hits and glissandos across the piano strings with a metal mallet, offering a significant number of variations.

Piano Mallet Strikes:
This collection of sounds brings you 463 sampler-based metal mallet strikes creating five full samplers that you can map to create your own samplers. As opposed to playing the piano normally, these sounds were created by striking the string with a metal mallet, creating a harsher attack. The five different samplers offer you a wide variety of durations:

•Damped instantly (84 sounds; five octaves)
•Damped after 1 second (97 sounds; seven octaves)
•Damped after 2 seconds (97 sounds; seven octaves)
•Damped after 5 seconds (88 sounds; six octaves)
