Ink Audio is giving away its piano instrument 1176 Piano completely free for a limited time.
In this article we cover what 1176 Piano is, what it sounds like, its main features, and exactly how to claim it before the giveaway window closes.
What Is Ink Audio 1176 Piano?
1176 Piano is a baby grand piano sampled exclusively at hard-hitting, loud dynamics, then crushed hard through an 1176 compressor and pitched down a full octave. The heavy compression pulls the sustain right forward, while the downward pitch shift leaves the whole instrument darker, softer and just a little bit strange.
