I had sold it long ago and, having taken up family life and a respectable job as a public school music teacher… I never expected to own a performance quality grand again. There are many times I missed having my 1990's Yamaha C5 E to play solo for recording at home. I immediately fell for the dynamic string resonance available in pedal-down mode and the fully adjustable instrument noise.

I started using Alicia's Keys several years ago when my team bought NI's Komplete Ultimate 8.

It even includes natural mechanical release noises for each of the 88 keys, plus pedal noises. At Sweetwater, we’re blown away by the lifelike feel and sound of Alicia’s Keys. Each sample contained in Alicia’s Keys boasts 12 discrete velocity layers for the utmost in realism, and includes sampled sustain and release phases, an ultra-realistic sympathetic resonance system, and optional finger noise. What’s more, its 3,000-plus individual samples were played by Alicia herself, were captured in her private Oven Studios, and were recorded by Alicia’s engineer, Ann Mincieli. First of all, it reproduces the sound of Alicia’s actual Yamaha C3 Neo acoustic piano. When Native Instruments devised Alicia’s Keys, they didn’t just slap a superstar’s name on a virtual instrument.
