Mondo Loops – Intimate Felt Piano

A soft, textured upright felt piano for lofi, ambient, cinematic and emotional music. Intimate Felt Piano captures the quiet character of a double-felted Kawai KU3B upright piano, designed to feel warm, close and human rather than clean, polished and clinical.

Shape delicate felt piano melodies, nostalgic tape-warped ambience, intimate neoclassical ideas and soft cinematic textures using three unique sample sets, detailed noise controls and flexible mic blending.

Why It Works

• Soft, mellow upright tone with natural felt texture
• Close and intimate sound that feels like you are sitting beside the piano
• Three sample sets for different shades of warmth, texture and character
• Detailed noise controls for felt, pedal, hammer and room/player sounds
• Flexible mic blending for close, warm, spacious or atmospheric tones
• Ideal for lofi hip hop, ambient, neoclassical, cinematic scoring and emotional songwriting
