Dub Stage Piano is an acoustic piano plugin for Reggae, Dub, Hip-Hop, and Rock. It’s a sample-based virtual instrument, but the developer SoundFingers provided plenty of options for customizing the sound.
The plugin features an ADSR envelope, an EQ, a filter, a reverb module, and a set of modulation effects. SoundFingers also included an Impact control, which seems to operate as a transient shaper. It’s helpful if you want to make the piano sound more snappy.
The interface sports a modern-looking dark GUI with a large ADSR envelope display and a virtual keyboard. The EQ, filter, and modulation settings are organized in separate tabs. The interface is also resizable, which is always a welcome feature.
As for the sound, Dub Stage Piano can fit a variety of pop and rock genres. It’s definitely not a classic-sounding piano. It has a modern, bright sound.
Dub Stage Piano works best for simple piano riffs, chord stabs, and lead melodies. If you’re looking for a modern pop piano, the included effects will let you transform the base piano samples into something more interesting.
According to the developer, Dub Stage Piano was inspired by classic piano sound modules. So, don’t expect a sampled acoustic grand piano. What you’re getting here is a pop piano that will sound great in a modern pop mix.
