Blueprint Electric Keys

Electric Keys offers the chance to experience the detailed sampling of an original Fender Rhodes Mark 1

It combines the iconic sound of this instrument with our modern sampling techniques and well-established atmospheric effects.

This is the first instrument in the Blueprint series: a growing collection of free sample libraries for Kontakt Player.

The library includes a custom atmosphere layer, a feature unique to all our commercial piano products, which expands Electric Keys’ sonic possibilities from popular music productions to funk and jazz to our own cinematic soundscapes.

The Electric Keys interface is very simple, so you can easily adjust the sound you want.

Stereo Spread – Increasing the stereo spread shifts the low notes to the left and the high notes to the right.

Chorus – Control the intensity of the in-built chorus effect.

Atmosphere – Add an ethereal Atmosphere Layer pad to extend the sonic possibilities of the library.

Reverb – Control the overall volume of the built-in reverb. Click the settings cog for more controls.

Signal – Switch between a DI or amped signal, for a cleaner or more gritty sound.

Mechanical – control the volume of the acoustic key and release noise picked up from the mics.

Settings Cog – Click the cog to the left of the interface to open up further settings.

Sample Start – Increase the sample start time to reduce latency. Decrease the sample start time for more realism. The latency above is the correct number for the use of negative delay (pre-delay) in your DAW MIDI settings.

Velocity Response – Increase the velocity response to accentuate the volume difference between soft and hard velocities. Reduce the slider to increase the volume of the soft dynamics.
