Drone Piano – Kontakt
The deal
$15 at Loot Audio (down from $30). This is part of the store's Black Friday 2026 sale and runs through December 5, 2026.
What it is
Drone Piano is a Kontakt instrument built from acoustic upright piano recordings captured at the University of Montreal in 2015. It turns those recordings into sustained, resonant drones and textures rather than a standard playable piano. Version 2 adds 10 more acoustic piano drones to the original set.
Who it's for
Composers and producers working on cinematic, ambient, and sound design projects who want organic piano-based pads and beds. It also suits anyone layering acoustic texture under synths or scoring to picture.
