From the very beginning of House Music the Piano has been pivotal in shaping the very essence and soul of the style and continues to do so without any signs of relenting.

To celebrate the Piano's many years of loyal service to House music, 5PIN MEDIA proudly presents the CLASSIC HOUSE PIANO sample and MIDI pack. So dust off those ebony and ivory keys with the unique 5PIN formula of MIDI, samples and loops of the best chords and riffs for that truly authentic House Piano sound and vibe.

All of the sounds have been expertly crafted, moulded and captured in pristine 24 bit audio using a combination of original synths such as the Korg M1 and Yamaha DX7 (both synonymous with the Classic House Piano Sound) and high end plugins.

Accompanying the 50 loops in Acidized Wav and Rex2 formats sounds are over 100 meticulously programmed MIDI loops at 120 and 125 bpm for maximising the use of the 11 sampler patches provided (Kontakt, NNXT, Halion, EXS24 and SFZ formats). Included is a folder of custom made Groove Templates giving users the option of applying alternative grooves. As an added bonus you can also use the MIDI loops to play any MIDI synth or sampler in either hardware or software form.

So If you are looking for an authentic House Piano vibe with maximum flexibility and control to bring your productions to life then 5Pin Classic House Piano is definitely for you. Finally we suggest you give the tracks listed below a listen to for some inspiration (they certainly inspired us).
