Bluenoise Plugins Releases ‘The Upright’ VST Piano Plugin
Bluenoise Plugins is a plugin developer out of Norway that has been making waves in the audio industry since their beta release of “MyDrumset” (now known as “Drummix“) that was praised by Sound On Sound back in 2007.
With the release of The Upright, Bluenoise plans to continue their goal of providing quality plugins, for a fraction of the price of their higher-priced competition.
For $30 the Upright is a downright steal!
The Upright from Bluenoise Plugins is available now for $30 MSRP, in VST format and for Windows only. For those who like a nice test drive, Bluenoise also has a 2 octave demo available. The entire plugin takes up 1GB of space with all samples recorded at 24 bit, 44.1kHz sample rate.

“The Upright is a great sounding upright piano recorded in a professional studio. The piano recorded is a great sounding Hellas. It’s not the most expensive thing made but this particular piano is already used for several major artists because of its great sound.
Interface
The interface has a smooth look and you can control several different things like; the different microphone outputs, A cutoff filter, chorus, a leslie, a reverb, a delay, ADSR and main output.
Sound
The piano is recorded with 4 microphones (2 sets of Neumann KM184 and AKG C414 B-XLS) and those microphones are merged into 2 outputs (left and right). The microphones are sent into a Universal Audio 4010 micpres, then through pristine RME converters into Nuendo. The samples are raw 24 bit, 44.1 kHz wavefiles and setup on 4 different velocity layers. Nothing has been done to alter the sound and the piano can go from sweet sounding to low-fi.
Effects
The sound from the microphones has the possibilty to go through several different processes like a cutoff filter with resonance, a built in Leslie with different speeds, a soft chorus, a great sounding reverb for more room and a delay to make that John Lennon sound we love.
Usage
The Upright is built to be very easy to use. The workflow is logical and though it has many advanced features we believe that the user will quickly become familiar with the different possibilities within the plugin. It comes with 10 presets included from the classic upright sound to really old Lennon sounding stuff like Imagine. We give you a great starting point and you should easily find the sound you are looking for.
MIDI Learn
All Bluenoise Plugins has the MIDI learn feature. It makes super easy to use an external controller to control the plugins. You just right-click, hit MIDI learn and tweak the controller you want assigned to the knob. Voila!
Price
We don’t think you can find a piano plugin that sound better than this for 30 dollars! Please check out our demo and all the other similar plugins out there to decide for yourself.”
