To create a human-like feel, Spectrasonics has created every sample to have up to 32 different velocities. on tracks using the electric pianos and they work especially well in hip hop/R&B compositions.Īll of the main patches sound on point and they also can be run through effects channels. As far as the electric pianos go, all I can say is, enjoy yourself. The C7 benefits greatly when you add a little bit of delay and reverb to it.
The samples really shine and it’s hard to believe what plugins can produce sonically nowadays. My simple breakdown of the sound of Keyscape is that its main patches such as the Yamaha C7 and the Rhodes, are incredibly realistic. You have to remember, you’re basically loading up a recording studio for each instrument you pick along with effect channels. With this being said, this is getting better as technology continues advancing. The thing with plugins is that they are typically CPU intensive. While navigating and loading the instruments, you will notice that it might take some time, even if you have an SSD. Tweaking the sustain and release can go a long way with a lot of the presets. You can the controls on the bottom starting with the input and ending with the gain. The interface is really easy to navigate. Let’s get into the review of Keyscape below.
Note: Keyscape is a software download that you directly download to your PC or Mac. What I can say, is that it is incredibly deep and has some absolutely breathtaking sounds that you will be able to use on most of your productions. I don’t personally think it’s fair to say it’s the best because some of this comes down to preference. I believe that Keyscape is top 3 when it comes to the absolute best. With the Keyscape VST, you literally have access to the same sounds that most of your favorite artists and producers are using. This is because there’s just so much you can explore with them. We came in with some pretty solid instruments and we ended up pretty much using none of our actual keyboard sounds. This guy is a complete beast with production and mixing.
In 2012 my band booked studio time with the most popular producer in the area. So, how did I get into virtual instruments? Think about it, a Yamaha C7 piano and a Rhodes at your fingertips without the heft price tag. Check Out Extended Cyber Monday Week/Christmas Specials At Sweetwater Now!
