## What is Neo?

Neo-Soul Keys® Studio 2 is the next evolution in electric piano sounds and effects from Gospel Musicians, which features a complete architecture overhaul using our new Pure Synth® structure and licensed VKFX effects. Our goal with version 2 was to add more high quality electric pianos, effects, and features by combining the organic sound of samples, along with the flexibility in editing options from a synthesizer. With both of these features, Neo-Soul Keys® Studio 2 will be the most complete electric piano library ever created.

8 New Electric Pianos

- Nu Suitcase - A perfectly tuned and manicured suitcase that represents the clean and beautiful side, with beautiful bell tine noises in the low velocities. This EP was sampled from the DI, suitcase speakers, and mic’d ambient harp and comes in a DI and fully concatenated stereo version with all of the tonal goodness from each source.
- Suitcase 88 - This is another clean suitcase with a very unique and interesting tine attack. This is great for tine lovers.
- Nu Mark I Stage - This is a very clean and dark sounding Stage EP. The uniqueness in this piano lies in the incredibly deep and rich lows with a ton of bark and expression.
- Dilluh Stage - Sampled from JFILT from Very Sick Beats who one of the top Neo-Soul Hip-Hop producers on YouTube. This EP is perfect for Hip-Hop, Jazz, Neo-Soul, and that J-Dilla, Roots, Slum vibe. It is clean with quirks, which makes it ideal for that dirty stuff.
- Nu Mark V - We updated our Mark V with a super clean and chocolaty smooth sound. The expression is amazing and barks tremendously.
- Mark III Tines - This is for tine lovers who absolutely love the sound of tines, which is reminiscent of a Mark III sound.
- Nu Wurly - This is a perfectly manicured, maintained, and serviced Wurly piano that can fit with any type of genre.
- D’Ang CP70 - There would be no soul, without the sound of recording artist D’Angelo, who often performs live on a Yamaha CP70 Electric Grand.

### 5/5 — Great Rhodes and other keyboard sounds!

*2026-03-16*

Better fender road sounds than Korg module pro was providing me. This IS the answer…and there are great FX, Wurly, Clavs, etc on top of that!
Also, more importantly for me was when I needed some tech support (on a Sunday!!) I emailed them and within 2 hours I got a great response with instructions and a video that solved the midi cc problem I was having. Excellent customer support!!

### 5/5 — Superior product, helpful support teams that are passionate.

*2023-06-09*

This app is better than IK and any other sampler applications I’ve used on IOS, the reason the files are large is because you can’t get quality and dynamics with highly compressed audio. Audio files are not clown cars. 
The support I received when I had issues was clear and precise, once I’d properly explained the issue I had. They’re clearly passionate about their product but, like with anything, to make it better requires the funds and better reviews.
Happy to share my good experiences with this app. I will suggest it to anyone I know using IOS that want more polished and professional recordings, even just for inspiration whilst recording demos.

### 5/5 — Great Product

*2023-05-06*

Best sounds I’ve found out there and stellar support to boot !

### 5/5 — Can No Longer Download Individual Instruments

*2023-03-03*

This is a big problem!  App was fine when Individual instruments could be loaded. Now it forces user to download the complete 4 GB file. Due to RAM limitations, This makes this app useless on 5 of my devices.  Thankfully I did at least get the wurly installed on my old iPhone 6s before tragedy struck. Love that wurly!  It alone was worth the price, but I’d like to use it on my other devices too!
Please fix this.  It was a really great app, but now I can’t install it on any of my 3 iPads.

### 1/5 — Bugs in new update

*2023-01-31*

Now the new update wouldn’t allow separate downloads of the sample library, and whenever the app opens, it keeps sending the notification that “downloading might fail due to low RAM”, despite that I have downloaded samples to an external drive. Also the host app is double the size of the original. Now it is 1.99Gb, and it downloads the IAP contents on the harddrive, but without paying, it is not accessible. Why waste space like this?

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-01-29*

I think anyone would be hard-pressed to not find at least a few presets that are incredibly useful. Well not all of them resonate with me, there is so much variety, and so much ability to modify/ add effects, it’s really an incredible program. “Wurli 300 DI and SPKR” is especially sweet. I’m also loving “Original Suitcase Cream” and “Clav CB.”

I never knew there was so much variety in Rhodes sounds! I still love my Scarbee EP-88S for a clean and very well velocity-mapped (lots of velocity layers and very natural tonal, and relatively good dynamic changes) sound, but this really has some awesome character on its own, without modifying anything. The Scarbee I have to run through Amplitube Fender Super Reverb to get the tone I want (I also run it through an expander in MainStage to increase dynamic range).

### 3/5 — It’s a justifiable purchase.

*2022-12-15*

Like all the newer apps from this developer it takes up a massive amount of storage, and requires much fiddling to get a good sound, usually. 
Unfortunately whilst useful, the base sounds are no better than the original neo soul keys. This version has arguably worse responsiveness and is less inspiring to play.

### 2/5 — Not for me, staying away from their products

*2022-11-22*

I had previously bought pure synth and deleted it but this came highly recommended from a friend. 

Sadly I’m of the same opinion. This is just another bloated sampler set with their effects attempting to give it some character. It’s just variations of maybe 5 different EP sample sets with a clunky interface. As old as IK multimedia are, I prefer theirs as both standalone or within SampleTank. 

Might be worth it for those who want access to a host of presets, but I find it as unusable as pure synth so I’m requesting a right of withdrawal agreement.

### 5/5 — If you are reading this you need this app.

*2022-03-24*

When you buy it you'll be up all night jamming. 
I have lots of music apps but I use this app almost every day for a couple of year now.

### 5/5 — Comparable to Top of the Line Hardware Romplers…

*2021-05-20*

Like the Roland Integra, Yamaha Motif/Montage, Korg Kronos, etc!
