Somerville Sounds has introduced Dusty Felts, a new free felt piano plugin for both macOS and Windows. Crafted by Jon Meyer, this latest addition to the Somerville Prototypes collection is designed to capture the soft, intimate tones of a well-loved Kawai upright piano. Dusty Felts is a must-try for anyone seeking warm, lo-fi piano sounds, perfect for adding a nostalgic and delicate touch to your music.
Personal Review
As a felt piano, Dusty Felts strikes a perfect balance between warmth and clarity, making it ideal for simple, melodic compositions. With two velocity layers, it doesn’t allow you to dig too deeply into the keys, but that limitation works in its favor, keeping the sound clean and gentle. It excels at producing that intimate, nostalgic vibe that felt pianos are known for, without becoming too murky or indistinct. The harmonic artifacts and added lo-fi noise give it an endearing character, and the vintage Ampex 600 amp really ties it all together, adding a touch of analog magic.
