Presenting our tenth official add-on for the Sequential Prophet X and XL analog hardware synthesizer, we welcome you to the world of the 1969 Piano.

The 1969 Piano (Model D) Concert Grand Piano marks one of the most exquisite piano lines in existence. The tone is rich and full, yet bright and airy. Its character—sublime. This piano creates an unabashedly timeless sound that will transform and adapt to any type of music.

We decided to sample a model specifically from 1969 since that era lent itself to some of the most iconic creations in piano engineering. Over time, the soundboard of our piano settled and opened up, creating resonations so soulful that we no choice but to capture them.

To ensure that we recorded it faithfully, we used six different microphone perspectives (Overhead, Keyboard/Player, Dampers, Spot, Ambient, and Room). This will allow you to dial in the sound and perspective you need—whether it's the full range of overheads,  the slightly softened mics on the dampers, or the room perspective with the keyboard/player mixed in for a wide and open sound.

It's a powerful add-on for the Sequential Prophet X and XL, through and through.

Wheel Of Life - Improvised Piano Piece

A solo piano arrangement of the 1970 rock ballad - a song about how we often ignore our soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen when they return to civilian life. In the song, an old soldier is (correctly) celebrated by a passing stranger. Though non-military solutions should always be tried first, but, if they fail, it is these people who preserve our freedoms. They need our thanks and support no matter what.
