Session Keys Electric S: Sampled Suitcase Electric Piano for Kontakt

The developer describes the sound as a 1973 Suitcase electric piano recreated from a restored original instrument. Two sample sets capture different sides of the piano. The Studio bank provides an unaltered line-out signal, which suits producers who want to process the tone themselves. The Live bank uses the original speaker setup and microphones to capture the cabinet and speaker coloration.

The Pentamorph control lets you move the sound from the classic Suitcase character toward a more complex voice with a single knob, selecting from five main characteristics or any position between them. Sustain resonance, key noise, release and reverse samples can also be adjusted to shape the feel of each note.

The Animator contains more than 400 piano phrases in several genres and styles. You can follow keys and harmonies and control dynamics and complexity, which makes it useful for starting or ending a track with a fill or riff.

Smart Chord creates full chords from single keys or pads. Set the key of your song and the feature generates harmonies, and it can also play Animator riffs. The effects chain includes tremolo and AutoPan, chorus, phaser, an amp simulator, compressor and convolution reverb.
