FROM ALICIA'S STUDIO TO YOURS
Together with Danish sample specialist Thomas Skarbye (better known by his company name Scarbee) and impulse response expert Ernest Cholakis, Alicia Keys has created a virtual piano that meets her professional standards and embodies the soulful sound that has become her trademark as a superstar. This is the piano sound that has helped Miss Keys win multiple Grammys and reach the top of the charts.
ALICIA'S KEYS was sampled from her own playing, recorded in the artist's own studio under the supervision of her trusted engineer, Ann Mincieli.

ALICIA'S VERY OWN KEYS
The instrument samples come from Alicia Keys' very own Yamaha™ C3 Neo grand piano. This unique and highly-sought after instrument was built to celebrate Yamaha's 100th anniversary in 2002 and represents the very top of the Conservatory Collection line. The exquisite and unique sound of the C3 Neo were painstakingly captured by Thomas Skarbye, Kontakt script wizard Nils Liberg, and Grammy-award winning engineer Ann Mincieli - making this exclusive instrument available to everyone. Using vintage microphones and preamps and through detailed analysis of Alicia's playing, the team succeeded in capturing the warm, soulful and inspiring sound of the C3 Neo all the way down to the finest nuances.
Alicia herself says:
'I feel confident that we came up with the best virtual piano you've ever heard and I am excited to introduce it to you! Ann, Thomas and Nils are a brilliant team!'

KEEPING IT TRUE
Great effort was put into making ALICIA'S KEYS as authentic as possible. Designed with incredible precision, and incorporating subtle details such as mechanical release noises, a specially developed sympathetic resonance and release system, and even the sound of fingers hitting keys (optional), this unique instrument delivers plenty of lively realism. So much in fact, that Alicia Keys herself used it exclusively on her latest album The Element of Freedom.

I know many have been waiting for this one, so I finally got some time to knock it out!
No introduction needed really, today I’m checking out Alicia’s Keys, the Kontakt instrument from Native Instruments.
The story behind this instrument is pretty much a piano library samples from Alicia’s actual Yamaha Neo Grand…with her preferences in mics, and other settings.
Now, I’m not saying this will make you sound like her when you play, because you need more than an instrument to do that!
But let’s see if this offers us anything different in the world of virtual piano instruments. Wing and son piano serial number.
What is Alicia’s Keys?
It is a library based off of samples from her own piano, her own playing, in her own studio, recorded by her own engineer.
Basically it is HER sound.
Not to mention she worked with Scarbee…yeah…you already know what type of products Scarbee puts out.
Good ones!
The samples came from her Yamaha C3 Neo Grand, and they did things according to her specifications including incorporating things like mechanical noise and fingers on keys, which you can choose to enable, disable, and choose the level for each.
She was very involved in the process of getting the sound/playability just right.

Most important, how does it sound?
It has a really organic, warm sound to it in my opinion.
A lot of the piano libraries I’ve come across usually capture that big, bright, stage/orchestral sound…which isn’t always what you want.
This piano has more of a “darker” tone in my opinion, very warm and organic, soulful sounding. I like how it plays, and how it responds to playing.
This is no surprise, as Scarbee was involved, and I really like what they do with their instruments.
I mean but all the different options and settings you can tweak to really make it sound realistic and play like a true piano, that’s top notch stuff.
But when it comes down to it, most of us are worried about one thing, the sound.
For me, all the extra tweaks and options aside, I really like the sound of it, as I said, it gives you a more mellow sound…not as bright and piercing as many of the piano libraries on the market.
It offers something fresh enough that even the person with every other piano library out would find the subtle differences in this library useful
What’s the bottom line?
I was excited about this product ever since I heard about it a couple of years ago. I’ve always liked the sound of Alicia’s piano on her albums, of course that’s probably a lot to do with her playing as I’m sure she makes ANY piano sound good.

The sound in this library really gives something different when compared to other libraries on the market. I can instantly find use for it in an urban/electronic setting, without much tweaking needed, as it’s organic and smooth…it just slides right in.

The interface is simple, and well laid out, giving quick access to the parameters you want to tweak without making you dive deep into tons of menus and sub-menus.
Overall I give this library a 4 out of 5 subs, very useful, great sounding, and fun to play. Yamaha wave venture 700 service manual. As a producer, it’s probably in the top 2 to 3 instruments I’d go to for a good piano sound that will fit into the music I make.
