Native Instruments News - Alicia's Keys

Sampled from the Grammy award winners playing of her own piano in her own studio, this instrument is the only virtual piano that meets Alicia Keys professional demands. Used extensively on her last album, and embodying the soulful, warm sound that has become her platinum trademark, ALICIA'S KEYS is the real deal - just like Miss Keys herself.
The instrument samples come from Alicia Keys very own Yamaha C3 Neo grand piano. This unique and highly-sought after instrument was built to celebrate Yamaha's 100th anniversary in 2002 and represents the very top of the Conservatory Collection line. The exquisite and unique sound of the C3 Neo were painstakingly captured by Thomas Skarbye, Kontakt script wizard Nils Liberg, and Grammy-award winning engineer Ann Mincieli - making this exclusive instrument available to everyone. Using vintage microphones and preamps and through detailed analysis of Alicia's playing, the team succeeded in capturing the warm, soulful and inspiring sound of the C3 Neo all the way down to the finest nuances.
