What Glassy does
Glassy is recreated by spectral modelling rather than the FM or additive-like synthesis that most digital electric pianos of the period used. The developer describes the method as related to additive synthesis, with spectral models of well-known sounds used as the basis for twenty studio-quality digital pianos. The installed size is about 35 MB and no library installation is required.
The instrument is organized into a Digital Electric Piano and pads module, a pad generator with a filter, and a chorus and phaser effect. Harmonics can be controlled in detail across the keyboard range. Glassy is available as VST3, VST2, AU and Standalone, and it ships ready loaded into major DAWs such as Cubase, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cakewalk, Reaper and Bitwig.
Key features
- Digital electric piano and pads. A single module covers the digital electric piano sounds and the pad sounds, with twenty factory electric piano presets included.
- Pad generator with filter. A pad generator with a filter shapes sustained textures alongside the piano sounds.
- Chorus and phaser. A chorus and phaser effect is built into the instrument for modulating the sound.
- Harmonic control. Harmonics can be adjusted in detail across the keyboard range, following the spectral model approach.
- Scalable interface. The interface is described as HD scalable.
- Self-contained sounds. No extra purchase of Kontakt, UVI or other third-party players is needed to load the sounds.
Compatibility
