Pssst Instruments Preparist: Piano Percussion KONTAKT-DECiBEL
Team DECiBEL | 11 Nov 2025 | 1.23GB
Forget lifeless, overused samples. Preparist brings you something entirely different – a percussive library created from a vintage Gustav Rosler upright piano, modified, prepared, and played with everything we could find: hammers, chains, magnets, sticks, fists, elbows… you name it. The result? A massive, modern-sounding, organic percussion library that breathes character. Inspirations? John Cage, Krzysztof Penderecki, George Crumb, sonorists, minimialists and avant-gardists.
This library comes in two formats: as a one-shot sample pack (440 WAV files) and as a full Kontakt instrument.
Sonic extension of the Avant-Gardist
If you’re a fan of prepared piano, don’t miss our first library in the Prepared Piano series: Avant-Gardist: Tonally Prepared Cinematic Piano. It’s a much larger instrument that lets you play beautiful, organic, and originally sounding melodies, harmonies and textures. It’s our best seller – and to be honest it is our best instrument so far. It’s truly unique and inspiring.
Originally, we intended Preparist to be an extension of Avant-Gardist. So, we recorded new samples and also redesigned selected samples from Avant-Gardist to serve as top quality percussive sounds (e.g. layering, shortening attacks, selecting proper round robins, adding compression, etc.).
In the end, however, we realized Preparist was too good to be just an extension… That’s why we released it as a separate new library – this time focused on percussion (as said, Avant-Gardist is for unique melodies, harmonies and textures). The result: both libraries now share a beautiful, organic and consistent sonic character, but they do different jobs, not replace each other.
We had to beat our piano badly
We recorded them all: hits, clusters, knocks, strums, slams, plucks, bowings, mutings, scratches, strikes, taps, flicks, rubs, clunks – performed using fingers, hands, forearms, elbows, fists, fingernails… And let’s not forget about plastic, wooden, and metal tools like nails, textiles, sticks, forks, hammers, magnets, strainers, chains, etc… Played on EVERY part of our old upright piano. Every.
It gave us a wide palette of sounds, moods & emotions (not only for horror & thriller!). To learn more about our techniques – performance, recording, microphones, and the story behind our old upright piano – read the detailed story on the Avant-Gardist page. The technical aspects are more or less the same for both libraries in the Prepared Piano series. And they’re pretty interesting, we’ve been told.
What’s included:
One massive percussion kit with:
– Clusters – Played on keys using elbows, fists, forearms, wooden boards, and directly on strings with sticks and various tools. Covers the full range from deep booms and classic stabs to swipes and shimmering highs. Try layering them and/or use pitch knob – this multiplies the colors and makes the cluster kit incredibly handy and versatile. Seriously, you will use it in countless tracks.
– Atonal percussion – Played on prepared strings. Every note is tonal or quasi-tonal. However, each round robin has a slightly different sound. What does that mean? It means that when you repeat a note, you get a quasi-random, atonal rhythmic feel. Rare and unique!
– Long & short hits – Long hits instantly add cinematic atmosphere. Short hits are great for accents and impacts.
– Nontonal percussion – A classic alternative drum kit made from wood and metal sounds; played on every part of the piano except the strings.
– FX – Includes mechanism noises, creaks, and long room/player ambiences to add organic depth to your track.
– Bonus: 30 loops
