Unleash a new dimension of musical exploration with the Sonora Cinematic Refraction, a cutting-edge Kontakt Instrument that redefines the piano's sonic landscape. This unique tool transforms a premium upright piano into a fluid, evolving soundscape, perfect for crafting emotive piano performances, cinematic pads, and hybrid acoustic-electronic textures. By harnessing the power of spectral shaping, Refraction offers a rich tapestry of sound that merges authenticity with innovation.

At the heart of Refraction lies a beautifully recorded piano, enhanced by an ultra-thin felt layer to preserve its clarity while providing a gentle attack. The true magic begins once the note is struck. The Resonator engine captures and sustains the resonances, channeling them through a tuned filter bank that follows your musical expression. This results in an ethereal soundscape, entirely generated from the piano's own harmonics.

Refraction's integrated mixer features four primary microphone positions, each adding a unique character to the sound. Whether it's the warmth of the Close Ribbons, the crisp definition of the Close mics, the depth of the Back mics, or the vintage ambiance from the Room mic, each can be seamlessly combined for a phase-coherent mix. Additionally, the Echo signal, crafted using a vintage Roland Tape Echo, adds a characterful, warbling delay.

To further expand your creative horizons, the Resonance Bloom control dynamically enhances selected harmonics, enriching the sound with vibrant high-frequency content. Three refined ambience algorithms—White, Pink, and Red—add spatial depth, providing a lush, shimmering quality to your compositions.
