Discover the Loot Audio Felt 54, a distinctive and intimate felt piano plugin that brings a unique character to your compositions. Designed for musicians who crave warmth and simplicity in their soundscapes, the Felt 54 is not your everyday upright piano. It originates from a beautifully modified 1975 Yamaha U3, where a 0.8mm felt strip was meticulously placed between the hammers and strings. This modification provides a pure tone while maintaining the piano's inherent harmonic richness, making it a perfect tool for ambient music, melancholic film scores, and even LO-FI hip-hop.

The Felt 54 is captured using three microphones, delivering an intimate stereo image that enhances the authentic acoustic feel of your music. With a range of 54 notes, this plugin zeroes in on the sweet spot of the Yamaha U3's tonal capabilities. Explore expressive dynamics with 5 velocity layers per note and infinite round robins for key release noises, ensuring each keystroke resonates with life and authenticity. The plugin also features a sophisticated TAPE module, allowing you to infuse your tracks with analogue tape hiss, saturation, and flutter, adding a vintage touch to your modern creations.
