a fragile sound

This is not your standard, polished piano plugin. sampled humanly from a small scandinavian upright (missing the bottom octave), it has a very warm and intimate tone. if you loved nils frahm’s felt, you’ll love lekko, too. Besides the soft sustains, you’ll also get characterful shorts (going from a hand-muted sound to full ringing) and irregular, unsynced tremolos, allowing you to create organic swirl of notes based on the chords you play. Both sustains and shorts have 5 repetition samples per every sampled note so every time you hit a key, the sound changes subtly. this adds a lot to the realism of the instrument, not only when playing repeating patterns.

the afterglow

The acoustic part is complimented by the afterglow patches, created by processing the recordings with rare vintage hardware and tape. It’s a collection of bespoke patches that evoke that dusty, analogue vibe, ranging from fragile and soft to dirty remains of the original signal. All of the processing happened in the analogue domain. the result is a striking balance between progressive sound design and classic warmth.

Review: Jasno & Lekko by Felt Instruments - Sample Library Review

samplelibraryreview.com

Felt Instruments' Jasno and Lekko libraries deliver a unique lo-fi soundscape, perfect for niche users seeking something different. While Jasno's ethereal tones from the rare Hohner Guitaret enchant, Lekko's soft piano may lack the dynamic range some expect. Both libraries shine in sound design and intuitive interfaces but are hindered by their limited patch offerings and specialized sound, making them less appealing to the broader audience. Ultimately, they cater to those who appreciate their distinct character, but casual users might find them lacking for everyday use.

Felt Instruments Lekko Review - More Than A Piano - AudioNewsRoom (ANR)

audionewsroom.net

Felt Instruments' Lekko offers a unique take on piano libraries, blending vintage charm with modern sound design. Its minimal interface and organic sounds capture the essence of old pianos beautifully, making it ideal for ambient music. However, the limited dynamic range and inherent latency can frustrate those seeking a more versatile instrument. While the Afterglow patches showcase impressive creativity, some users may find them challenging to implement in a mix. At £49, Lekko is a compelling choice for sound exploration, but potential buyers should weigh its quirks against their musical needs.
