The XLN Audio Addictive Keys Mark One offers the sound of a Rhodes Mk. 1 Stage Piano with a classic and intimate tone. It features 7 different recording perspectives, allowing for endless sound design possibilities. Based on a Rhodes Mk. 1 electric piano played through a vintage tube combo amp and captured by rare vintage mics, it delivers a sublime sound that can range from a smooth caress to a searing crunch. This popular electric piano has been heard on countless hit records for over four decades. The particular instrument was chosen for its unmistakable warmth and intimacy. You can record the instrument's line output 'direct' or play it through an amplifier like the MusicMan 112 RD Fifty 1x12' to add character. System requirements include MacOS 10.9 or later (32 & 64 - bit), Windows 7, 8, 10 (32 & 64 - bit), and an internet connection during installation only. Available in VST, AU, AAX (32 & 64 - bit) formats, it runs on any host supporting these plugins, with active testing on hosts like Ableton Live 9 & 10, Apple Logic Pro 9 & 10, etc.
To use the XLN Audio Addictive Keys Mark One, first make sure your system meets the requirements. Install it on your Mac or Windows computer with an internet connection during the installation process. Once installed, open your preferred host application that supports VST, AU, or AAX plugins. Load the Addictive Keys Mark One plugin. You can start playing right away. Experiment with the 7 different recording perspectives to find the sound you like. If you want to add some crunch and character, play the instrument through an amplifier like the MusicMan 112 RD Fifty 1x12' instead of recording the line output 'direct'. When it comes to maintenance, keep your computer's operating system up - to - date. Also, ensure that your host application is regularly updated to avoid compatibility issues. If you encounter any problems, check the official XLN Audio support website for troubleshooting guides.
