Electric Keys is a cross-platform virtual instrument that delivers
authentic sounds of 50 classic, vintage electric keyboard instruments
from the last 40 years. This massive 40GB sound library includes over
20,000 meticulously crafted 24-bit 96 kHz multi-samples of legendary
electric pianos, electric organs, clavinets, Wurlitzers, tape samplers,
string machines, keyboard basses and other rare and exotic electric
keyboard instruments.
Electric Keys puts a slice of music history at your fingertips in the
form of classic and rare electric keyboard instrument sounds, said Jim
Cooper, Director of Marketing for MOTU. You can play all those familiar
electric keyboard riffs you know so well from the last four decades of
rock, pop, funk and jazz, plus you get an intriguing assortment of rare
and exotic keyboard sounds that are sure to delight even vintage
keyboard devotees. We carefully recorded and mastered the samples to the
very highest standards for use in live performance and recording
projects of any kind.
Fifty well-preserved and maintained vintage instruments were used to
create the sounds in Electric Keys, including models from Fender,
Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Hammond, Wurlitzer, Hohner, Elka, Farfisa,
Mellotron, Moog, RMI, Arp and others. Most instrument samples are
supplied at 24-bit 96 kHz resolution, but they can be played at any
standard sample rate via Electric Keys' flexible 32-bit UVI playback
engine. Presets consist of carefully crafted multi-samples with multiple
velocities, layers and/or release samples, depending on the instrument.
Samples are streamed from disk, so even large presets load quickly and
conserve computer memory. Sounds are organized in 12 banks, each with
its own authentic look ("skin"), allowing users to install on their hard
drive only the banks they wish to use. Electric Keys presets can be
loaded into MachFive 2 for advanced sound design and layering.

sound design and layering.
A simple and attractive software interface
The Electric Keys window offers a few simple controls, including volume,
pan, tone and tremolo settings, along with two preset slots, which
allow users to layer two sounds using the convenient multi-column preset
browser. When a preset loads, the background displays the "skin" for
the corresponding bank, but the controls and their operation remain the
same, regardless of the unique look and feel for each bank. Once one or
two sounds are loaded, the user can simply play, adjusting parameters as
desired, while CPU-efficient 256-note polyphony ensures that notes are
never cut off due to voice-stealing.
All parameters can be automated via convenient "MIDI learn", where the
user can simply right-click any control to assign any MIDI controller.
Users can load and save "combis" consisting of a snapshot of the entire
plug-in, including effects. Combis can be shared among plug-in formats
and the stand-alone version - even across computer platforms. Dozens of
factory presets and combis are supplied.
The three-dimensional piano keys across the bottom of the Electric Keys
window highlight during playback. Users can click the keys to audition
sounds.
Separate multi-effects rack
Users can click the FX button to open the FX-Rack, which is a separate
window with eight effects that can be applied individually or in
combination as a multi-effect to any preset. Effects include amp
simulation, filter, chorus, flanger, phaser, UVinyl (to add "wear and
tear"), delay and reverb. Since effects can be loaded, created and saved
independently of instrument presets, it is easy to mix and match
effects with presets, allowing users to experiment with practically
infinite combinations. All effects parameters can be automated with
one-click "MIDI Learn" CC assignments.
Plug-in and stand-alone operation
Electric Keys supports all major plug-in formats on Mac OS X and Windows
(XP and Vista), including VST, DXi, MAS, Audio Units and RTAS. It also
runs as a stand-alone application.

Reproduction of an historic Alfred Arnold Bandoneon
The Bandoneon choosen for sampling is an historic Alfred Arnold of 50s.with 40 keys on the right hand and 32 notes on left hand.
The Bandoneon was recorded with a Neumann TLM103 large diaphragm microphone thru an Apogee Symphony I/O converter with its own Mic Preamp card for the best audio resolution and musical details. All the 440 samples are in 96kHz/24bit resolution!
By careful analysis of the sound PSound found a great variation of the harmonic spectrum during the dynamic range of the reeds. This variation depends on the high quality of the hand made reeds of the instrument. They tried to reproduce this amazing feature!
There are 4 dynamic layers and 2 round-robins for each note of the instrument. All the samples of the Bandoneon are perfectly looped with "DSPQuattro" audio editing software. In this way, you can play very long notes from your instruments without interruptions.

GRAN CODA is a new approach in making a virtual grand piano.
For the first time a virtual instrument was created in collaboration with the manufacturer: Fazioli Pianoforti (Sacile, Italy).
GRAN CODA was recorded in Sacile at the Fazioli Concert Hall and the piano was prepared by Fazioli technicians.
The selected model F278 is the resident Grand Piano of the Fazioli Concert Hall and it was inaugurated in 2005 by a great italian pianist: Aldo Ciccolini.
Paolo Principi recorded it in 3 different microphone positions: Close (most used in jazz and pop productions), Side (for classic music) and Binaural (to simulate the position of the pianist inside the Fazioli Concert Hall).
The virtual instrument was tested and approved by Fazioli technicians inside Fazioli laboratories.
For these reasons GRAN CODA is the only Virtual Piano authorized by Fazioli.

Vintage Accordion is a software virtual musical instrument created by Paolo Principi of PSOUND. The instrument is based on a vintage Titano accordion made in Castelfidardo, Italy from the 1960s. To realized it Paolo made an in depth study about its special sound. Paolo loves that sound and all its expressive variations! To capture its soul he worked with amazing technical tools (from microphones to sound card, from editing software to developement system)! He recorded, edited and looped almost 1300 waveforms for a total of 2GB of memory storage. All samples are perfectly looped. He recorded all the registers of his accordion, all the keys for 4 velocity layers and 2 round robin. He adopted a filter to simulate the harmonic variation of sounds during its dynamic range. He separately recorded the key-on and key-off noises for a more realistic sound! Now he says: "Yes! This is its real sound!".
Enjoy with it! (Paolo Principi)
