Soviet Acoustic Felt Piano


The acoustic essence of the instrument

blends with sound design reminiscent

of the era of the first space missions

Testimonials

As someone who designs sounds daily, I was blown away by Tayna and MIR. The Piano sound of MIR is incredible, and the X Slider feature is truly inspiring. Layering MIR and TAYNA creates a unique sound that only these plugins can offer. MIR is now my go-to for piano. Thank you, Elementary Sounds!"

WALKTHROUGH:


THE MAKING

OF TONE



This instrument comes in six different variations. Each one has its own X-slider that blends four different sound layers. All these sounds are based on the original piano tone:


SUSTAINS

A sustain piano recorded using four different types of microphones: two stereo (tube and ribbon stereo) and two mono (ribbon mono and condenser).

TAPE

A sustain piano recorded on a reel-to-reel tape machine in two versions:



  • Type I - Recorded at slow speed, combined with tube compressors and Eurorack filters.
  • Type II - Recorded at half speed.


Broken Tape

A sustain piano recorded on a Soviet spy reel-to-reel tape recorder from the 1960s in two versions:



  • Type I - Recorded using a bunch of lo-fi guitar pedals, resulting in a dreamy, mysterious, and assertive sound.
  • Type II - Further processed the sound through two tube preamps for a dirtier and more aggressive tone.


RANDOM OCTAVES

Randomly played sustain notes across octaves, recorded with four different types of microphones. This patch has two dynamic layers: the first is soft and calm, while the second is more active and intense.

MUTES

Short muted notes recorded with the string dampened during play.

MUTES CASSETTE

Short piano notes recorded on a cassette recorder in two versions:



  • Type I - A mix of ribbon and condenser microphones, recorded on a cassette recorder.
  • Type II - Recorded on a cassette recorder using a tube microphone.

Source

The core sound is shaped by four sliders controlling each mic type's volume, each with its own panning slider. The instrument features six patches, each with four additional sound layers blended with the original sound via an X-slider.

FX

Classic effects with vintage charm:


  • Vibrato - Adds small periodic changes in the pitch of the signal.
  • Warm - Creates rich, nonlinear distortions for a gritty, edgy vibe.
  • Shimmer - Combines the lushness of a classic plate reverb with pitch shifting and a dash of chorus magic.
  • Echo and Reverb - Make the sound ethereal and mesmerizing.
  • The Master section has a filter and a shelving EQ, allowing for precise sound sculpting.


Movement

The Movement panel houses a 12-step, highly customizable sequencer and two LFO modules—the heart of our instrument—that can be connected to all key elements.

Master

The Master panel features two vintage octave filters that split the signal into 10 and 16 bands, along with a three-band shelving EQ with adjustable crossover frequencies. Also present are controls for pitch, noise level, and output signal.
