POWER OF THREE
Three iconic vintage electric pianos with powerful sound design tools.
Play an original or create unique textures.
“This is the best emulation hands-down that I’ve ever used and I can’t imagine ever being without it. It’s something I will use every day, no exaggeration. I love it.”
Composer Stephen Gallagher (The Hobbit, District 9, King Kong) about Session Keys Electric S
Electric W
Session Keys Electric W is the sound of some of the most iconic hits over the last few decades. With attention to every detail, the recreation of this classic electric piano offers you all the warmth and dynamic range of the original. The Wurli helped to define the sound characteristics of Fusion, Disco, Funk, and Pop. You'll get tons of inspiration from the various sounds the electric piano produces at different velocity layers – from Vibraphone-like smoothness to ultra-aggressive, distorted sounds.
Studio & Live
"Studio" delivers the direct unaltered line-out sound, while "Live" captures the sound of the speakers through a comprehensive microphone set-up covering the original speakers including cone-cry and break-up.
Electric R
From Lounge to Fusion, from Jazz to Electro - the Mark I electric piano is omnipresent. Its unique sound fits in a variety of genres but remains unmistakably recognizable. Session Keys Electric R is based on a vintage 1976 Mark I Stage Piano, specially modified with eight individual outputs to capture every nuance of its classic sound.
Studio & Live
The Studio mode was recorded directly through high-end pre-amps and A/D converters, reproducing the piano’s clear, bell-like character. Whereas the Live mode uses classic vintage outboard equipment and pre-amps for an edgier, rougher version of the instrument.
Electric S
Nothing embodies the evolution of the electric piano better than the 1973 Suitcase: a killer package of keyboard, amp and speakers. To recreate this much-loved electric piano classic we hunted high and low for a top-quality original. We unearthed a magnificent 1973 suitcase which spent weeks undergoing painstaking specialist restoration. Once back to peak condition we began detailed recording to capture every nuance of its original sound.
Studio & Live
The Studio mode gives direct unaltered line-out sound, while the Live mode captures the sound of cabinet and speakers through a comprehensive microphone set-up covering all four speakers for an incredibly realistic feel.
Pentamorph
The stylish Pentamorph can give the classic electric piano a new, complex voice in a matter of seconds using a single control: select one of the five main characteristics or any position between. Morph from pure acoustic sound via electric to reverse in realtime.
Instant flexible control in a single knob.
Animator
Make it sound like a top session keyboard player is riffing in your studio. At the heart of the Animator you'll find more than 400 ready-to-play licks and phrases in different genres and styles. Use it to start or finish your tracks with a professional flourish in no time, following keys and harmonies with complete control over dynamics and complexity.
Smart Chord
Stuck in a black hole of inspiration and need some suitable chord changes? This clever feature is a huge help in the song-writing process. Full chords or Animator riffs can be played either via a pad controller or single keys. Just set the key of your song and let Smart Chord create the harmonies.
