NI Launches Electric Keys - Reeds Duo

Native Instruments has unveiled Electric Keys - Reeds Duo, which they describe as a pair of virtual instruments that capture the essence of two legendary reed-based electric pianos. Here's more details in the company's own words...

Following the success of Electric Keys - Tines Duo, which introduced Diamond and Phoenix, Jade and Ivory bring a new style of electric piano into the spotlight. Unlike their tine-based cousins, these instruments use vibrating metal reeds to generate sound, creating tones that range from smooth to soulful and gritty depending on how you play.

A celebration of classic electric pianos: Jade and Ivory
Reeds Duo reproduces the sound of two iconic electric pianos loved for their snappy attack, expressive growl, and unmistakable warmth.

• Electric Keys - Jade: A solid-state reed piano delivering a bright, punchy sound with sharp dynamics. Ideal for funky rhythms, cutting leads, and rich chords, Jade adds a confident edge to any track.
• Electric Keys - Ivory: A vintage tube-driven reed piano with a warm, soulful voice and organic grit. Smooth and mellow one moment, rough and fiery the next, Ivory is pure expression.

 

Created with Galaxy Instruments
This exceptional piano emulation was developed in partnership with Galaxy Instruments, renowned for their expertise in creating high-quality virtual instruments. Founder Uli Baronowsky and his team, who previously collaborated on instruments like Claire, Noire, and The Giant, have brought their meticulous approach to capturing the unique characteristics of these reed-based pianos.
