1. WELCOME TO NOIRE
Thank you for purchasing NOIRE. This document provides information about the library and a de-
scription of all of its functions. We hope that you enjoy using NOIRE.
1.1. About NOIRE
NOIRE is a virtual instrument that replicates a unique Yamaha CFX grand piano, belonging to the
composer and pianist Nils Frahm, who personally handpicked the instrument in the Yamaha Ger-
man headquarters in Hamburg.
To produce the NOIRE Library, this piano was sampled by Uli Baronowsky from Galaxy Instru-
ments. It was recorded using rare, vintage microphones and preamps in Frahm’s recording studio
at the legendary Saal 3 of the Funkhaus Nalepastrasse, Berlin.
Baronowsky and Frahm have already contributed the critically acclaimed UNA CORDA Library.
UNA CORDA was based on the recording of an upright piano and was characterized by its inti-
mate feeling and nuanced sound. NOIRE presents a variation of this intimate concept, using the
huge sound of a grand piano.
As with UNA CORDA, Nils Frahm greatly contributed to the sound design of NOIRE, and provided
input on how the strings could be prepared to achieve his distinctive intimate and emotional sound.
In addition, he greatly influenced the sound by sharing his grand piano recording techniques and
setup.
While you can use it for a wide range of styles, the NOIRE Library has been specially designed for
the ‘neo-classical’ or ‘post-minimalistic’ genre, represented by musicians like Nils Frahm, Max
Richter, Agnes Obel or Olafur Arnalds.
1.2. NOIRE’s Special Sound
A number of sound design elements support the emotional and expressive tone of the NOIRE in-
strument:
To match the style of performances and recordings of Nils Frahm and similar artists, NOIRE fea-
tures fully controllable hiss. Noises created by both the piano and the piano player, for example,
noises the pianist makes when moving or breathing, are also included. Mechanical noises created
by the piano were also recorded, which contributes to the intimacy and character of the sound. In
NOIRE, you can add and adjust these noises as desired.
Due to the close microphone position, all the subtle mechanical noises are audible while remaining
fully adjustable. You can use these noises to create a realistic sounding piano performance or use
them for creative effect. The noises can also serve as a rhythmic element, especially when used
within the particles engine. In NOIRE, fabric and mechanical noises are adjustable, in order to cre-
ate different sounds and rhythmic effects.
Atmospheric and ambient sounds can be created by utilizing the built-in effects in the Style sec-
tion. To modify the basic sound of NOIRE, you can add lo-fi effects such as tape saturation and
filtering, as well as convolution-based effects and modulation. For a final touch, shape the sound
by applying equalization and compression.
