Why did we set out to make another version of Neo-Soul Keys? Well the simple answer is that we are perfectionists. We have discovered a new platform, similar to the way Kontakt works–with amazing and different effects. The graphical layout is simple to navigate and the interface is full of color and life to give you an ultimate Neo-Soul Experience!

This electric Piano library is the best we’ve ever made and all of the new features in this version will absolutely blow your mind. We chose to use the UVI engine on this version, because we wanted to feature some of the amazing new effects that the UVI engine has to offer:
Roland® Ensemble 505 – One of the warmest and phattest choruses we’ve ever heard. It instantly makes any EP sound vintage in seconds
Color Knob – This knob instantly takes your EP and changes its harmonics, color, tone, and character, so essentially, you can take one EP sound and come up with hundreds just by tweaking the knob
BONUS: I didn’t want to do it, but I am featuring the hottest Neo-Soul Chops and beats from my friends such as Boonie Mayfield, Klaus Beatz, and JFilt.
An Amazing Effects Rack
Ultimate control is the key here! These effects were custom selected for that ultimate EP sound that you’ve been searching for. You see, we are perfectionist. We were so pleased with the Neo-Soul Keys 3X, but there is always room for improvement. One thing about UVI is that their effects are absolutely vintage and warm.

VINTAGE VI is a collection of multi-sampled instruments that captures the great retro sounds of classic Rock, R&B, Soul, Funk, Country, and Jazz tracks from the 1960s and 1970s.
The list of instruments ranges from rare, collectible, and even one-of-a-kind pieces to cheap knock-offs and banged-up stuff found in junkyards. Instruments weren’t included just because they were rare or expensive. Instead, they were chosen because they sounded cool, and had a unique character: a “vibe” that’s often absent from the “meticulously recorded, “pristine” sampled instruments of today.
The drum sets in VINTAGE VI are live and open: snares crack and ring and toms thunder, untamed by gates or compressors. Keyboards were sampled clean and through old amps, yielding sounds ranging from “classic” to “borderline psychotic” (see the Filthy Wurlitzer patch). Basses and guitars were set-up to replicate a variety of retro sounds and styles from many musical genres. And for good measure, we even included a psychedelic staple of the late 1960’s, the electric sitar.

New! True Keys from VI Labs now available!
True Keys is a Piano Virtual Instrument. It was created by recording nearly 50,000 audio files using some of the best microphones and recording equipment available today. Then, the audio files are matched to their corresponding piano, note, microphone position and velocity to build an electronic version of the piano. Next, the audio files are loaded into a software playback device called an engine that runs on a sophisticated scripting language to mimic the natural sound and playability of a real piano.
Traditional keyboards that have piano sounds built-in are typically built from modeling or by using samples. Models are mathematical representations of sound much like a synthesizer. A modeled piano is essentially a very large math equation used to mimic the sound of a piano. Samples are based on real recordings of an instrument. True Keys is built using real audio samples in every aspect of the software. From the individual microphone positions to the samples sympathetic resonance. Everything you hear is real.
We sampled 3 of the most popular grand pianos in the world for True Keys. We chose the pianos for this collection based on their craftsmanship and general tonality to ensure a wide array of tones between the library. From the pronounced low end and bombastic sound of the Italian Grand to the sweet and subtle nuances in the American Grand and everything in between we designed True Keys Pianos to be a versatile asset in your recording studio or for your live performance.
