Just in time for Halloween, Karoryfer has released the free Scarypiano sample library. If you were looking to add some scary, weird, and odd keyboard sounds to your tracks check out this free open source piano. The Scarypiano sample library comes in .sfz format and is ready with a custom GUI for Plogue sforzando.
The piano samples from this sample library were sourced from the free IOWA sample collection, then creatively processed using Krotos Dehumaniser. The user interface is a Halloween inspired control set with bloody eyeball knobs. Automate them even if the piano isn't playing for an extra fun effect.
