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.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.

Electric Keys presets can be loaded into MachFive 2 for advanced sound design and layering.A simple and attractive software interfaceThe 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.Separate multi-effects rackUsers 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.Specifications

4 GB World/EthnoInstrumente und weitere 4 GB Loops und Phrasen. Die über 500 Presets mit über 16.000 Samples des Ethno's Instrument erlauben Ihnen Zugriff auf jede einzelne Note über Ihr MIDIKeyboard
Navigieren Sie nach geografischer Region oder nach Kategorie Der Preset Browser des Ethno Instrument organisiert Instrument-Sounds nach geografischer Region und Kategorie, damit Sie benötigte Klänge sofort finden.
Instrument Presets Wenn nötig, sind Presets in Unterordnern organisiert. Abhängig vom verwendeten Instrument, gibt es eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Unterordnern.
Authentische Stimmung Es wurde äußersten Wert darauf gelegt, dass der einzigartige Charakter jedes Instruments in bestmöglicher Detailtreue erhalten wurde.Viele exotische Instrumente haben ihre eigene, einzigartige Stimmung, die sich erheblich von der in der westlichen Welt üblichen chromatischen 12-Ton-Skala unterscheidet. Deswegen liegen viele Instrumente des Ethno in zwei verschiedenen Versionen vor: Die original- ('-o') Stimmung, welche exakt die Stimmung erhält, wie sie auch von einem Musiker tatsächlich gespielt würde - und die in der westlichen Welt gebräuchliche Stimmung. Dies bewahrt Sie davor, Ihre Zeit mit umverteilen der Noten zu verschwenden, wenn Sie, wie die meisten Europäer, keine Ahnung haben, wie man z. B. eine Sanza spielt!

Keyscape - Collector Keyboards
Keyscape is an extraordinary new virtual instrument featuring the largest selection of collector keyboards in the world. Ten years in the making, each of these rare, sought-after keyboards was carefully restored and then deeply multisampled by the renowned Spectrasonics Sound Development Team. These compelling and highly expressive sounds will inspire you to PLAY!
The process began with going to the ends of the earth to find and restore each one of these rare and incredibly special instruments with the top technicians and expert craftsmen from each discipline. We even went as far as spending years redoing these instruments from scratch again and again until they were totally “right.”
This incredible attention to detail and meticulous care given to each instrument allowed us to develop these sounds to a whole new level of authentic tone and inspiring playability…and of course that’s just the start of how these instruments can be transformed into amazing new sounds with the STEAM Engine!
Custom Controls
The Custom Controls presented for each Patch allow you to go far beyond the original sound. The intuitive interface includes useful performance controls and high quality creative effects processing specially crafted for each Patch. Hundreds of included Patches showcase the remarkable versatility and ability to dramatically customize these iconic sounds to your music.
Authentic Expression
With many of these collector instruments, it’s really the imperfections that make them so interesting. Instead of cleaning up all the quirks and noises they make, we made sure to closely capture them since they are big part of their vibe. In addition to that, our software team closely modeled the authentic behavior and mojo of vintage amplifiers, classic effects units and unique subtleties like mechanical noises, pedal noises and release overtones to bring these sounds to a whole new level of authenticity and dynamic expression.
Hybrid "Duo" Sounds
Along with the hundreds of patches based on the 36 instrument models, Keyscape includes special hybrid "Duo" sounds, which combine two of the instruments to create something entirely new. The unique timbre of these Duo patches make them some of the most creative and inspiring sounds in Keyscape!
Omnisphere Integration
As a bonus for Omnisphere 2 users, Keyscape also integrates fully as a satellite instrument within the Omnisphere interface. Keyscape will simply appear as a library inside Omnisphere’s browser for users of both plug-ins. This allows Omnisphere 2 users to harness the full synthesis power of the STEAM Engine to explore endless new sonic possibilities and combinations!

Opinions: Cyclop is another Sugar Bytes hit! Really original as always. You guys really are the best out there at the moment. Matthew Herbert Cyclop rules at least 4 tracks on our new album! Modeselektor I just have to say that I've been programming music professionally for over 12 years now and within just 2 hours or so of tinkering it's clear that Cyclop is one of the best synths I've ever used. Awesome! Ben Medcalf/The Rogue Element/Disco of Doom/Axiom Got your basssynth today and it's the dopest vst ive come across.Brilliant fucking ace. The Cosmic Pimp I downloaded the demo of this last night and just wanted to write to tell you how BLOWN AWAY I am by the usability and excitement I have for the interface and sound quality coming out of this thing. I designed 3D interfaces like this for 10 years and always wanted my work to look like what you did with this. Slight perspective, perfect lighting... Just awesome. Carson Carr, Producer Well done for this great plug-in, the demo was fantastic and convinced me to purchase, I'm going to be using this a lot on my upcoming productions! Erol Sabadosh Holy crap. This synth is amazing. Thanks for such a creatively inspired tool. As a professional, I purchace my products and only have purchased a couple of soft synths (I'm an analoge man), and this purchase is good! This is now my go to synth for evolving space bass. I am impressed! Mike Echopilot
