Is NOIRE Still Worth It in 2025? | Native Instruments' Iconic Piano - Walkthrough & Review

Native Instruments’ NOIRE has been a go-to felt piano for composers and producers since its release in 2019. But in 2025, with so many new piano libraries on the market, is NOIRE still worth using? In this video, I take a closer look at what makes NOIRE stand out—from its clean interface and cinematic tone to its unique Particles Engine. Recorded from Nils Frahm’s handpicked Yamaha CFX grand piano at Funkhaus Berlin, NOIRE offers both pure and felt versions, along with detailed control over resonance, noise, dynamics, and more. Whether you’re scoring to picture, writing ambient tracks, or producing modern classical music, NOIRE continues to be a versatile tool. But how does it hold up compared to newer options? Watch to find out.
