[BloxicBrony]

What do you mean with sad? Do you have examples?

I haven't used this myself, but I've heard REALLY good stuff made with it somewhere on this forum, and heard good stuff about it in general. I actually really want this myself, now that I think about it.

Here's the regular version, here's the one that doesn't require Kontakt. It costs quite a bit of money.

It's all in the composition. Just about every piano sound out there can be made sad, emotional. It's not in the sound, it's what goes on behind the piano, the chords and melodies you choose, the pacing, the dynamics and the tension you create, and knowing when to release it, lingering chords, clashing harmonies, all those things.

A sad piano melody will undoubtedly be composed in a minor key. Major chords do factor in, but knowing where those are is both down to theory knowledge and experimentation. Even playing a major note over a minor chord, not nessecarily the third, but those kinds of things.

Just saiyan, I always use Fl Keys' dark piano preset and then tweak it a bit, usually lengthen the sustain and release. And then make something sad.

Nexus' Grandpiano Soft (it's in the Piano section of the base version, no expansions) and just use low velocity.

I usually go into a minor key and have some long low notes then have some very spaced out high notes. Also I set the tempo down to about 60-70. Add on some reverb and maybe cutoff a little with the fruity filter. However this is only one way to make a sad sounding composition, but one of the easiest. There are tons of ways of showing emotion in music and each musician has there own way of expressing it. Listen to what you are looking for and break down the elements that you like in it.
