Striking the perfect balance between soul and R&B, a new music software is about to change the way you reckon about computer audio and music software.

Developed side by side with the Grammy-winning artist Alicia Keys, Native Instruments’ Alicia’s Keys Virtual Piano brings Alicia Key’s very own music within reach. The software accurately recreates Key’s very own Yamaha C3 Neo grand piano. The creation of the music software is a partnership between well loved keyboard software developer Thomas Scarbee and Alicia Keys herself. Native Instrument was able to capture that distinct Alicia Keys sound, what with two full years of hard work and top of the line equipments.

Using nothing but the best vintage microphones and high-end outboard studio gear, this new sampled grand is not an everyday instrument. But, it has a number of strong features and a fantastic tone, at a modest price.

Alicia’s Keys makes use of a 17GB high resolution samples with 12 discrete velocity layers per note. It has sophisticated emulation of crucial sonic aspects like key release, pedal sustain functionality and sympathetic resonance.

This virtual piano’s user interface has a complete control over the sound in order to let you adjust the software into a specific musical preference and playing style. And to make things even better, it also includes a studio-quality convolution reverb that allows a number of authentic room ambiences ranging from a small piano chamber to a large stage or concert hall.

Alicia Keys uses a Yamaha C3, a model included in the limited Neo edition. It is a six-foot grand making its lower register less full and deep compared to a nine-inch concert grand. Yamaha pianos are widely respected for their bright, in-your-face sound, and that the same characteristic is preserved in this music software.

You will be very impressed with the realistic features of Alicia’s Keys. Its velocity response makes it very playable even when you are no professional piano player with every range of the keyboard responding well as it should.

Besides its built-in convolution reverb, it also has a standard DSP reverb that makes it simpler for you to use the software on a slower computer. But, even without the reverb, the piano’s natural ambience is gorgeous. Perhaps because it had meticulous tuning every unison has exactly the right amount of microscopic tuning, that is why the tone of the choruses are nearly perfect, just like an actual piano.

If you are hoping for a pop ballad sound, Alicia’s Keys is the one it is richer and more up-front than the Yamaha C7 or the German Steinway. It is by far the most inviting to play and the most flexible to use among all other piano samples and virtual pianos.

With Alicia’s Keys, you can make music out of sheer inspiration. You can evoke pure emotions with every note. Why wait? Try Native Instrument’s Alicia’s Keys Virtual Piano today!
