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. —— BRAND NEW UPDATED FEATURES: ▪ External Drive for Sample Storage and Streaming ▪ BlueTooth MiDI Capable ▪ iCloud Backup and Sharing of Presets ▪ Enhanced AUv3 Preset Resizing ▪ Expansion Pack Banners and Branding ▪ Metal support, Faster UI, Faster loading, and major CPU Updates ▪ Two Mode MIDI Program Change General Specifications • Standalone and AUv3/IAA • iFX Rack Built-In with Independent Preset System • 21 GB (8.4 GB Downloadable Lossless Compression) • Ability to download individual EPs to save space • 145 Total Sounds • 28 Full Electric Piano Sounds • 26 Total Effects (20 more than version 1) • 94 Effects Presets • 130 Electric Piano Presets —— 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. —— Device Specifications: ---------------- ▪ 2GHz ARM Processor Recommended - iPad Pro 12.9 and 9.7 in, iPad 5th Gen, iPad Pro 12.9 in.
