Toy Piano Refill

[ncurry]

I was never really happy with the toy piano patches that I found in the FSB. I went online and found sound samples of a two-octave Shoenhut Toy Piano and turned them into Reason instruments. I wanted to recreate the unpredictable character of the instrument, so the combinator has multiple samples per note. I selected the forte and mezzoforte samples and created two velocity layers. I also created release samples to recreate the key clicks. Key clicks can be toggled on or off and have adjustable volume. You can preserve the range of the original instrument, or extended it up to five octaves through the magic of the NN-XT.  The site also had some really interesting samples of case hits and rod noises. I turned them into a Kong. No bells and whistles, just a (hopefully) authentic sounding instrument. I'm not a professional refill creator, so if you have suggestions or improvements, I'd be happy to hear them. Free for the community. Enjoy!

Thanks, Selig! I'd be nervous going toe-to-toe with your work, but hopefully it's acceptable. Besides, you can't have too many toy piano sounds!

I'm sure they're quite similar - don't recall doing anything special with mine. And IIRC, there was at least one other user doing the same at the time. Hope you don't feel I'm trying to steal your thunder here btw… ;(

Not at all! It's nice to see this thread get a bump every now and again. I've always appreciated your work and the assistance you provide for the community. I've learned so much from you and the patches/articles you've created.
