SonicCouture公司發佈的Xtended Piano音色庫，是一套非傳統演奏方式的鋼琴音色庫。
Kontakt 4格式。Xtended是Extended的改寫，Extended通常用來表達使用非傳統演奏方
式來演奏常規樂器，從而得到不一樣的音色感覺。這套音色庫中包含了五種不同於平常
的鋼琴演奏方式，分別是MUTE PIANO、BOWED PIANO、PLUCKED PIANO 、MALLET PIANO
以及SFX PIANO ( SCRAPES & STRUMS )。
英文說明:


"Extended" is a term usually used to describe unorthodox techniques
used when playing a musical instrument in an unconventional way, to
coax new timbres from a traditional instrument.

Since the early 20th century, the piano has been at the forefront of
this trend, with composers such as John Cage preparing the piano
with nuts and bolts, Henry Cowell composing pieces in which the
performer reaches inside the piano and plucks or strums the strings,
and Stephen Scott bowing the strings with an ensemble of performers
to produce an orchestral sound.

The latter inspired us to create the ground-breaking Bowed Piano
instrument in 2008, and now we have revisited the same piano to
build on that concept and further explore extended piano techniques
for an exciting new suite of instruments.
