Words by Lewis Noke Edwards

The reigning royalty of VST have unveiled two new offerings: Crosstalk Piano and Session Bassist – Upright Bass.

Native Instruments

Crosstalk Piano

Discover a fresh approach to piano with Native Instruments. Faithful piano samples with a soft, dark tone have been combined with a huge selection of processed multisamples. Choose from fragile, resynthesized, and deconstructed sounds, including field recordings, weird FM pianos, guitar-like feedback loops, and much more. Then layer any sample, use the Crosstalk feature to modulate individual layer volume over time, and shape the sound with six different macros. Crosstalk Piano will take you in new directions with a deep, atmospheric sound perfect for emotional compositions.
