Drone Piano is a versatile VST/VST3/AU plugin instrument that brings the resonant tones of an upright acoustic piano to your fingertips. This unique sound was captured during the serene winter of 2015 at the University of Montreal.
Drone Piano offers three distinct variations of the same piano sound for a diverse sonic experience. The first variation features seamless drone loops crafted from the tail end of the piano samples for a continuous, ambient sound. The second variation is the looped piano, where the decaying sound is looped seamlessly, creating subtle and sustained tones. The third variation presents the original piano sound in its pure form, complete with its natural decay.
With the release of version 2, Drone Piano now includes an additional 10 acoustic piano drones, expanding your creative possibilities.

A handpan is a unique and melodic percussion instrument that consists of two convex steel hemispheres joined together to create a resonant, UFO-like shape.
It's played by striking the various tone fields on the top surface with the hands or fingers, producing enchanting and soothing sounds.
Handpans are known for their captivating, meditative qualities and are often used for relaxation, meditation, and artistic expression.
Virtual Handpan is a virtual instrument that recreates the sound of the handpan by using physical modeling and sound design. The idea is to expand the playable range of a standard handpan to as many notes as possible.
The result is 57 notes that can be played, something impossible to do with a real handpan that's limited to a maximum of 9 notes.
