Uncover the piano’s hidden secrets with Claire: Avant, the experimental sequel to the Claire grand piano. Recorded with the lid off and unconventional techniques, it reveals sounds often concealed in traditional libraries — from brushed textures and muted strings to plucked notes, flageolet harmonics, and metal mallets.
With the Particles engine and over 40 Pattern Tool presets, Avant transforms simple key presses into evolving soundscapes, perfect for film, experimental music, and beyond.
